Hi CM, I'm Jenny and have 2 boys (2.5 yr old diabetic who also has Down syndrome and a 14 yr old).

Kids are hard as they don't really tell you or pay attention to how they are feeling. I really dislike the 2am checks but can wake up in a panic and go and check him even when I probably don't need to. We've had a bit of a rough patch and spent a couple of nights in hospital as he has been quite unwell. It is coming into Winter here in Australia and the colds and flu's are hitting one after the other.

Anyway, welcome to the forum. Jen.

Hi Jenny thanks for your post

Sounds like life is even more challenging for you! Difficult enough with lo being only 2 1/2 without the diabetes and downs too!


Looking forward to sharing the good and the bad!!
