Got back out with my boy for some fall turkey action, which will turn out to be a week I'll never forget.
3 days later we rushed my son to the ER, 5 days later we left.
He was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. Type one is much different than type 2, type 2 in most case is curable. Type 1 is when your pancreas has the Beta cells killed in it and no longer produces insulin.
We have to do 6 blood draws a day, every day, and administer 4 shots of insulin a day, for the rest of my son's life. There are many things he can't eat, or has to eat in very small amounts or his sugar levels could go extremely high or low, causing him to go into a coma.
After a lot of praying and learning we are back home and learning are new normal.
After about 2 weeks of learning are new normal, I got my son back out last Sunday to fill a Whitetail tag, and just really wanted him to know that even though he has to carry his kit around with him, he can still get outside and enjoy life.
I turned him loose on a grunt tube, and a set of rattling horns and told him when he sees one that he wants me to shoot say so.
We did 3 sets in total and had 9 different deer come in and he just couldn't take it any more on the last set. He said, Dad thats a big one, I don't care if it has horns, shoot it!. Love it!
