Fear #1: Matthew will go low overnight and not wake up.
Fear #2: Matthew will go low while swimming and drown.
This post is about fear #2.
This past weekend, Matthew was invited to a friend's house and the mom asked me if he could swim.
Matthew has been swimming lots of times....with me. Never without me. I started to say no. And then I started thinking:
Okay Tracy...Swimming has gone great lately. If he follows a few rules, he can do this. He really can....
I decided to go for it!
We set rules:
- Check BG before swimming.
- Call me. You'll probably need a starburst to take you up quick, then a fun size snickers will keep you going.
- You can swim for one hour.
But here's the best part:
At dinner, when he saw his fantastic BG of 112.....with a huge smile on his face, he said, "I ROCKED IT!"
I'll never forget that moment and I'm so thankful that God helped me be brave.

Oh Tracy, can you hold my hand so I can let Andrew go??? I'm so proud of you and Matthew!
I love your new picture!
I actually teared up when I read the "I ROCKED IT!" part! So proud of Matthew and so proud of you Mama!!
Great job brave woman! It takes small steps and risk, but what a confidence builder!
I may need your help in this department! It sounds like you both ROCKED IT!
With D in the mix, it take a whole lot of faith to say yes. You did good mom. You BOTH rocked it.
