When we realized that I had left the cartridges to Janson's pump at home, while in St. George Saturday we were able to get in touch with another family who has an 8 yr old on the same pump as Janson. She said she cried when Animas called saying that another mom needed help, she had been in this situation before and said she hoped that one day she could help someone else. Our only alternative was shots or to leave St. George and go home. Luckily, Cathy was available and was so kind to meet me and give me an extra cartridge so Janson could get insulin. She also said that her son Andrew knows no one else with diabetes his age and feels alone alot. Now, Andrew has another diabetes buddy! I love Animas and its family network!

What a great network of friends you have available to you through this program. I too would be so thankful for people such as them who are a part of this group. Janson is being watched over for sure!
