2nd Fencing Tournament of the Year!!!

Noah had a tournament yesterday up at Weber State and he did so good.  How it works is that they get put into pools and have to fence everyone in their pool, and then depending on how many points are awarded they then go into brackets.  Noah happened to meet up with the kid that he fenced in the finals last tournament in the semi finals and this time he was beaten.  Therefore was awarded the Bronze Medal.  He did such a good job and we are so proud of him, it was up at Weber State and so we had to leave the house at 7:00 am to get there in time, I think that he was feeling a little sluggish from having to get up so early.  I also made Noah fence in the Y10 group and he didn't really like it.  The kids are a lot taller and bigger and older and plus we had to be there all day which Noah was really mad about.  I told him that I will not make him do it again but that he needed to have the experience of fencing the older kids every once in a while.  Mom's are so mean.

Diabetes

This week Joey went to the doctor and found out he has diabetes.  They are not sure if it is Type 1 or Type 2 yet, but think that it probably will be Type 1.  It's the same type that his dad had when he was diagnosed at the age of 24.  We went to see an Endocrinologist today and he gave us some information about the long road we are going to face with this.  I really liked the doctor that we are seeing and feel that we are in good hands, it will take weeks before we know how to manage this and get Joey on the right dose of insulin, find out just how to carb count and how to change our eating habits as a family.  We are in for a big change but I know that we can make it through this transition. The doctor said they have made some big strides in how they treat diabetes in the resent years, then what they used to do in the past, and although I'm nervous and scared about the road ahead of us we will take it one day at a time.  So heres to lots of doctors visits and information overload.
