re: the diabetes. most people manage their diabetes quite successfully at home. what is their issue??? it makes no sense to me that they can manage a kid with-a trach & not a kid with-diabetes? is he considered brittle (i know, most juvenile diabetics are but still). does he tend to run high or does he have a lot of lows? i'm atypical in that when i get sick, upset, stressed i run low...extremely....as opposed to the usual highs most experience. my kids learned at an early age just what to do (used to know more than the health teachers in school lol) if i went low & how to give me insulin if they needed to. it's NOT that tricky. besides, you are close by & they can reach you easily if they need to be talked through anything or have questions.
love how they are ignoring his voices. doesn't occur to them that a big part of why he attacted you might be because he was *told to*. again, arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh!
keep plugging & pushing. he needs more intensive care than he can get at home or at the residential school for the Deaf you guys are connected with.
