Seems I'm still too busy to stay properly current with all my DOC peeps. Sorry for so being absent, pals! But my occasional forays into twitterville tell me it's D-Blog Week, so even though I'm not participating this year, I am looking forward to all the bloggy blogs waiting for me when I have the time.

Anyway, this isn't about that. I'm looking for advice, friends. The L-ster has some sort of croupy cough that her pediatrician saw fit to treat with steroids (prednisone). It's helped her cough a bit but oh em effing g, it has wreaked havoc with her BGs. Under direction from her endo, we have changed her sensitivity and increased her basal and are checking ketones blah blah blah but I was wondering if any of you with more experience than us can chime in with some handy hints to minimize the insanely high crap we've got to deal with for the next three days.

THANKS, GUYS. For your enjoyment, here's a pic of my goofy-ass family on my birthday.
