Zombie Pancreas Era & Pablo the Pump Phase
The first few weeks were tough, but we survived. We have both asked how many more shots or finger pokes today? This honeymoon phase? It’s not as pleasant as it sounds. There have been many sleepless nights. Will we ever sleep again? As the mom, I felt like I had a newborn again. This extra full-time job working as a pancreas (a.k.a. momcreas) making so many tiny decisions through the day isn’t easy.
At just over 60 days, and he’s still ever resilient, showing remarkable strength and determination each day. He’s genuinely thrilled to be on a pump, which has transformed his daily routine in such a positive way. With fewer needles to contend with, and less sleepless nights lately, the change has brought not just relief but also a newfound sense of freedom, enabling him to focus on the activities he loves without constant concern or interruption of going low.
