Did I mention we had only had it for FOUR DAYS!?!?!? Then, two weeks ago RED dropped it in the toilet when she was getting ready to hop in the tub. I was so upset...which of course made her so upset. It was obviously an accident, but DANG, it's like we're bleeding money over here. I thought for sure we were going to have to replace the receiver at full price this time. However, my husband is very handy and he saved it! It's a long story I won't bore you with but if you ever get it wet don't push any buttons and then ask me what to do and I'll tell ya!Aprilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16212307850429497496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3255735347955921173.post-86668596384579388022011-02-02T18:14:51.816-05:002011-02-02T18:14:51.816-05:00Boy that music brings back memories!Boy that music brings back memories!Tracy1918https://www.blogger.com/profile/11192789929262055057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3255735347955921173.post-9135677820695648852011-02-02T11:01:38.142-05:002011-02-02T11:01:38.142-05:00I LOVE KENNY!!!!!!!!! Whenever I hear his voice, ...I LOVE KENNY!!!!!!!!! Whenever I hear his voice, it brings me to a happy place from my childhood. AHHHH....KENNY!!!!!! <br /><br />We actually took Dex off for a few days. She didn't want a new insertion right away and we didn't force it. Have to admit that it was kind of nice to get "old school" and just pretend the shark's teeth between numbers didn't exist.<br /><br />After she crashed at school yesterday (53), we put it back on last night. Thankful to have it...but have to admit that we all enjoyed a few days off.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16704298016041843194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3255735347955921173.post-68571750295439195852011-02-02T00:58:53.115-05:002011-02-02T00:58:53.115-05:00Gosh.

We have learned (with tons of trial and more ERROR!) to set her temp basal to 83% on site change night. It helps!<br /><br />Hope you got the new Dex back today!! I know it's hard-we didn't drop 2am checks for at least two or three years (now, we only check hahaha : )<br />Sending hugs your way! : )Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13864147601205439993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3255735347955921173.post-7686816290818100152011-02-01T12:48:38.050-05:002011-02-01T12:48:38.050-05:00I am interested in going the CGM route soon.
