To everyone who commented and listened to my bitching and of course thank you for all the wonderful advise.
Yesterday was not a good day!
Today however is a new day and we are still working our way to a pump. Our wonderful nurses have been in contact with the people in charge of accepting pump applications and a letter from our doctor is going to be written to support us in our "plan" to get the pump asap. The words "it sound encouraging" were used so my hopes are up and my fingers and toes are crossed!!
We spent the morning at the Endo clinic brain storming and rearranging everything. I will be logging and tracking like crazy this weekend. Have I mentioned how much I HATE LOGGING...I just hate it, but it must be done.
A special little test will be done tonight and on Sunday. No snacks at all, well only "free" snacks. We don't want to starve the kid!! So no extra carbs, just meals and insulin to see how this combo and our tweaking is working. We are doing all of this of course with the helpful 3rd eye of the CGM that Cara started wearing this morning.
BTW there were a lot of tears this morning before insertion. We used the numbing cream but she was just sooo nervous, but she is tough and after a little snack and many toys and stuff animals she was ready to roll and of course she was all smiles after the CGM was inserted.
She gets spoiled at the Endo clinic, I think that she would live there is she could. And really what better place for a CWD to live then surrounded by amazingly loving and well trained nurses...that is, if they will take her?!?! lol

Hooray!!!! I'm SO happy to know that your endo clinic is working with you to beat the system and get a pump! So happy that that it sounds encouraging! I have my fingers crossed with hope for you!!!
awesome!! glad to hear she was good after the insertion. im so excited to read about the pump process beginning to roll out. cant wait to read along.
I have been thinking of you non-stop since reading this last night. I hope that you and your Endo can get this "wrong" "righted".
WooHoo!! Glad that they are willing to go to bat for you about the pump. Hoping for more encouraging progress!!
Way to go with the CGM!!
I know Bean would be in heaven if I left her at our clinic! Everyone adores her and she milks it for all she's worth!! ;)
Awesome! We are rooting for you! Keep us posted!
Oh thank goodness!!
fingers AND toes crossed over here that everything works out and they 'see the light' and give that girl a pump!! I have a feeling you will get it done, despite the big bad law ;)
Crossing all crossable body parts and sporting some pink shoes in your honor :)
Keep us posted!
Oh, gosh-that's tough! You can't get the a1c down without the pump-they have to see that. : (
Praying for a pump for Cara-could you bargain for a "trial"-you could show them what a difference it makes!!
yeah! you sound so positive! I am glad the CGM got inserted and you're off with that extra look at what's going on. Hope your weekend was fabulous!
