So yes a little slow on the posting I know but I have good reason. The holiday's really keep us medics in service.  One day I will learn to say no to picking up an extra shift and I also had to work Christmas ( Always a hard shift to pull not so much due to not being with family but more to seeing people sick or hurt on the day that is meant to be joyous ) My sugars are getting better back under the 180's which I can deal with. tonight we were out waiting for an EMS call and decided to stop and eat and well taco bell was golden in our minds so we stopped and ate and from behind us in line I heard this little boy say to his mom she has a pump mom does that mean she is allergic to sugar too?? I turned around and his mom promptly apolgized I said no need and said hi to the little guy he was so cute 6 yrs old and he showed me his pump he said his was blue cause he liked the blue transformers I said mine is pink cause I like pink flowers he looked at me and said but you are in blue clothes mine goes better with your clothes ( ohh geeze fashion advice from a 6 yr old ) My partner had a good laugh and as we all were heading out he asked us if that was our ambulance I said yes and showed him around and he got to play with the lights it made his day. Before he left he said whats your number? I said  911 he said no silly and put his pump up and I said ohh umm let me look. I am 167 he said I beat you I am 146. He looked at me said good bye and his mom thanked us and he said to me stay low but not to low with the cutest smile on his face and I nodded. I thought about it for a moment how innocent he is and for him to deal with diabetes but with such a brave face kids are so amazing and now anytime I get mad over a little thing like a bad sensor or putting in the extra time to count my carbs I just think of him and remember if he can do it then what am I whining about? well back to work more calls to come till i get off at 8 am happy new yrs all and please be safe
