Oh, Robin,
You and Eri so deserve a break from dealing w/ these health issues. It's got to be rough on you all! I wish there was something I could do to help you and wish that there were words that would help things improve. All I can say is to hang in there. I know it's difficult, but I think most of us understand what you are going through. Please know that you can vent anytime~ We are here for you. Hey, even if Eri wants to email me or PM me, I'd love to talk to her.
I'm glad that you were able to get that appt. in Feb. I'm surprised, sometimes, how doctors underestimate the seriousness of these things ( or maybe it's the office staff really). For someone who's been running high so long, I think it so important that she get seen as soon as possible. I know there's not much you can do about it, but I'm glad you fought for that appointment. I would recommend Eri and yourself make a list of your questions and concerns and bring it to the doctor. Speaking personally, sometimes I will have questions and by the time my appt. comes up, I've forgotten them or sometimes if I'll mean to bring something up and I become distracted by other things going on. I'd really stress to the doctor that you aren't happy the way things are going and really want and need to see some positive changes. I know she's getting the pump, but these issues could still occur with the pump. Hopefully, things will greatly improve, but if they don't it's good to get answers to your questions.
Like I said, Hang in there Robin. Diabetes is a very big burden for a young child to bear, but she sounds like she is tough and will get through it.
Take care
