So happy, had to share

Some of you might remember I shared many frustrations with a mother of a Type 1 diabetes student earlier this year. While I continue to have some frustrations with her choices and follow through on things, I absolutely adore her son. He just turned 7 and my goal was to have him help me give his insulin injections by the end of the school year. On Monday I showed him how to do everything and held my hands over his as the needle went in and together we pushed the insulin. Well today, only 4 days later, he was 100% independent! All I did was watch! I wish you could have seen his pride on his face and experienced the joy he was showing and the joy I felt. Honestly, if I could have frozen the expression on his face I would have. Unbelievable. He is teaching me a LOT this year!!!

    It's always so rewarding to see the pride on their faces. I had a similar experience last year with one of my students. She has spina bifida and has no feeling from her umbilicus down but our goal was to have her be more independent with her daily straight cathing. The day she could do almost the whole thing by herself we celebrated like you wouldn't believe and she had the BIGGEST grin on her face. Made me love my job that day. :)

    Congratulations! Still working with mine, but he is totally independent with checks now. So the hope is kindled by your success.

    Stories like this warm my heart. As many frustrations we face each day as school nurses, these stories remind us of why we do our job. Congratulations on this success. Keep it up. You are making such a difference in this student's life.

    Good job, Nurse.

    I wouldn't be able to smile either with those huge glasses on, your facial muscles would have to be huge!
