Max's Hiccups

Max gets the hiccups quite frequently, but tonight he brought a whole new entertainment value to his hiccup episode.  It's 12:30 in the morning and I'm getting ready to do a pump site change on Gracie.  As I'm filling her pod with insulin, I keep hearing a soft squeaking sound.  I look down and see that it's Max. The mom in me kicked in at first, as I immediately go to him choking in my mind.  As I watch him for a second to try to figure out what to do, I realize that he's not choking.  Nope, little Max William is sleeping on his favorite toy, a 2 foot long squeaky snake.  Every time he hiccupped, his snake would squeak.  Of course, once I realized what was going on, I flip my phone to camera mode to take a video but by then it was all over.

After Max's hiccups, I'm working on getting Gracie's pump site changed.  While I'm in the middle of this proceedure, I cannot test her.  Of course it's at that very moment that Max decides to give his alert that Gracie's numbers are off.  Picture this ~ I have 4 sleeping children all tucked into their beds and would really like to keep them asleep.  I also have a barking puppy that will not stop barking until I show him that I am indeed checking on Gracie's blood sugar level. Then, out of nowhere my teenage daughter shows up because she hears Max's alert and can't figure out why I'm not testing Gracie, so she gets out of bed to come do it herself.  In the end, 3 out of 4 children stayed sleeping soundly, Gracie has a new pod on and it's working well, Max is happy and content that both he and I did our jobs and he's back to sleep... all in all, I'd say it was just another night in the paradise I call home:)

Oh yeah, by the way... Max was of course spot on in his alert.  Gracie was 151.  Good job Max William:)
