I am not sure if many of you know that Tony was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes four weeks before Joe was diagnosed with osteosarcoma. On the same day Tony received his insulin pump Joe had his chemo port inserted. It was a wild time for us and our introduction to Carolina Medical Center, which at the onset we had no idea this would be our home away from home.
So with that background, we fast forward to this evening when I received a call from Tony that his site had "popped" out during dive practice. Not a big deal at McCallie since he is just a few steps away from his dorm and a new site. But this time he was several miles way, but he drove slowly, we kept in touch by phone and his sites and insulin were on the kitchen counter when he arrived, along with a large glass of water. Food was ready and prepared and in a short time he was normal. He was home safe.
