Insulin Pump is coming! :)

We had a great visit with Dr Selva today and have decided to move ahead with the pump. Bren seems more at peace with it today and before we even got there he had agreed to give it a trial period. But after we got there, looked at them, talked about them, etc... He seemed to get even a bit excited! The two pumps we are looking at are the OmniPod pump (the first picture below), the benefit from this pump is that it is wireless, so no tubes, the down side is that the insulin is actually in the part connected to your body and so therefore it is bigger. The other one the CozMore pump (second picutre) does have tubes but a tiny portal into the body. Both systems also are a glucose testing meter as well. So although he will have to poke his finger the machine will do all of the figuring for him. We are very excited and hope that we can work it out to have this process move into high gear so that we can get the pump up and going before camping on July 4th. They say that the first two weeks will be very intense and with daily contact with the company and nurses. I am confident that we are up for this challenge and look forward to this change as I am confident that it will be positive for all of us. We will keep you posted!
