The Hannen Family

Shealyn has adjusted very well to wearing her insulin pump and her glucose readings have been pretty stable. We got two fabric belt pouches for her to wear. It makes it much easier than sliding it into her pocket… especially since most of her clothing doesn’t even HAVE pockets. Lol… This way, the pump stays in her pouch at her waist and doesn’t get in the way as she potties or gets dressed. She reminds me of a little sumo wrestler though when she runs away stark naked with only a belt around her waist. Lol…

We now go 3 days btw infusion site changes and it seems to be working at the moment. We may have to go back to two days when the summer heat starts, but I’ll stick with 3 as long as it’s working. She shows off her pump to anyone who will listen and goes through her explanation of, “This is my pump and it gives me medicininin in here (points to tubing). It goes down here and right into my BUTT!” Heh.. for some reason she thinks it’s hilarious that it’s attached to her hip/bottom. Back in the days of her insulin shots, she wouldn’t let us go anywhere near that area.
