See that Pod on the back of her arm? It's a demo OmniPod insulin delivery system. Just a blank trial to see how Ellie likes wearing one. So far it has survived 2 days of:
- sleeping on her side
- showering and scrubbing
- hiding it under a longer sleeve the first day, not wanting people to notice
- talking about how T1D is a part of her and nothing to be ashamed of to:
- showing it off (notice the short sleeves for today at school!)
- bouncing on a trampoline
- running from her brother
- lounging on the couch
- and silliness all around
Yep. So far we are loving the Pod. Were are Pod people. A Pod of a family. Girl powered Pod. Podilicious. Woo-to-the-Pod. Awschum Podness.

YAY!!!!!! So happy she's feeling confident -- that's a good looking pod on her a good looking kiddo :)
I also wore a pod demo -- a couple times, actually. It never budged. And, after the first hour or so, I really hardly noticed it.
What a way to start the weekend!
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!
