HAPPY BIRTHDAY BIG B! Braeden turns the big F-I-V-E today so its only fitting that I get this blog up and running on his big day. Since I know you all haven't had the chance to meet the little man behind the mission, I figured I'd give you a little photo introduction.
So prepare to fall in love in...

You're welcome :) I'll keep plenty of those coming your way through the blog - as you can see Braeden isn't short on personality or smiles. Both him and his big brother (introducing Adam!) make being an uncle my favorite job!
You'll see in some of those photos Braeden is sporting a cloth pouch. Although he gives 65 year old European tourists a run with his fanny pack style, the pouch is there to hold his monitor and insulin pump. He has a 2 inch needle stuck into his tail end or thigh 24/7 - one of the few times you'll find him crying is when the needle is changed every 4 days. He's a trooper though, readily extends a finger for a blood reading when asked and takes his sugar free cake and carb rationings in stride. You can bet he will down a whole chocolate cake the day we find a cure, though!
So this is the kick off to the blog - I'll post often, sharing my story and experiences and how they relate to Braeden and his struggle with Type I. I'll keep things as lighthearted and fun as possible, but please let your smiles and emotions move you to donate and help us find a cure for Braeden and the many others with Type I. Thanks and enjoy!
