This is a first

I'll admit it, despite the fact that it may be quite obvious, I am a first time blogger and this is my first blog.

I'm doing this because of something very important that has happened to our family, to our son...

Jonathan was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes, turned 4, and started school.... all in less that 3 weeks. A lot has happened in the 6 1/2 months since, and there is surely more to come.

I had seriously considered sitting down and writing a book at the end of the first year, and I still might, but when I really considered my motivations for doing so I realized that may not be the best medium for me. I came across some fellow T1 parents' blogs and thought I'd give this a whirl.

I am one of many thousands of parents of a diabetic child, and like all those others I have stories to share; perhaps just as much for me as for anyone else. Hopefully this does someone some good.
