August 12 - We’re picking up Ian from camp this weekend after four weeks. These pics just showed up in the camp feed today. We also got a letter that he swam across the entire lake with his friend because that’s where the paddle boards are and it’s the fastest way to them.

August 18 - Ian's stats from his endocrinology appointment on Tuesday

Age: 12 years, 9 months
Height: 5' 8.4"
Weight: 175 pounds
BP: 96/64
Pulse: 74
HbA1C: 6.7%
Percentage blood sugar in target range: 80%

This was after spending a month away from us at camp. The only complication he had was keeping his sensor attached the last week because he was spending so much time in the lake. The nurse resorted to "skin glue" for the last sensor to keep it on and he was not allowed in the lake for the last couple of days. Next year, we'll pack more badass adhesives.

I'll take a picture of him today. He looks older. The endocrinologist noted it, and he saw Ian four months ago. He's also more tan than I have ever been in my life. He must get that from Shrop. I told him we should take him to a tanning salon with leg warmers and opera gloves to even his tan out, but he's not on board with that plan.

August 28 - Shrop took Ian to the USAA parking lot for his first lesson in operating a car. I tagged along in the back seat and took a couple videos. Exciting stuff.
