Pump class!

So, at Ollie's initial Endo visit last year, they told me they wanted kids to be 8 before they got an insulin pump... So I begrudgingly waited. However, last week I was reading about kids of all ages on pumps and Endo's telling parents they had to only wait 6 months to a year. Saturday, Ollie was starving all day (I'm assuming a growth spurt) and had NINE shots. I talked to him about a pump and decided to call the Endo and insurance company and see what we could do. I also got the number of another pediatric endocrinologist just in case ours made me mad. Poor Doug called our insurance company and got a giant run around and no real answers to our questions. I called the Endo's office and left a message. Of course I was at clinicals and missed the call, but when I called them back they just said "ok, our next class is in September, we don't run them over te summer. We can sign you up for that one if you'd like"... I was honestly shocked I got no resistance from them. They also said they'd help us with the insurance company. I'm excited for our next chapter! Ollie's already decided he wants a green pump....
