Since Alyssa's diagnosis, the only people she has been left with are her two older brothers and her grandmothers. On Thursday, my hubby and I will be leaving for the Florida Keys to celebrate our 18th wedding anniversary. Ahhhh.....4 sun-filled days in paradise!!
Before Lu's DX, all I had to pack were her clothes when she'd spend the night away from home. Now, packing takes much more preparation.
Alyssa's Packing List
*Diabetes supplies (meter, strips, lancets, alcohol swabs, syringes, & insulin)
*Emergency Kit for lows (Glucagon, smartie candies, and juice boxes)
*4 Breakfasts, 4 lunches, 4 dinners, and 24 snacks
(I pack snacks and meals that I prepare ahead of time that have the exact amount of carbs that she needs for each meal)
*sugar free drinks & water bottles to mix sugar free Kool Aid in
*Schedule
(I type up her schedule and instructions for what to do in the event of highs or lows and add the emergency endocrinologist's number)
*clothes
*favorite pillow & stuffed animal
*games
*movies
*toiletries
Our car will be loaded down on the way to the airport until we drop her off. What's funny is that everything that I am taking can fit into 1 rolling carry on bag!
