Breathing

My family and I always have to do a thing that is good for your lungs, it's called breathing. Breathing is a thing that one of our doctors showed us he said that if you do this every day our breathing and temper will get way better. What it shows you is how your doing with your breathing and you can even play games and green is really good if you have 100 green it means that you are doing really good, blue is medium and red is really bad. also were doing it every day but last night I had a bad dream and I asked my mom if I should do breathing because she was up at that time and she said that's a great idea. I can have lots of times when I wake up my mom and some of those times it's because I'm low.


But that's a different story. But later that night I had another dream and it was a pretty good one actually because it was about our house that we lost and i saw my dad and my brother Reagan sitting on our new couch watching TV and they looked at me and smiled because i got our house back. Then i woke up . I still don't know what that dream was for but I still do not know what the future will hold.

The Concert

Usually on October 31st we would go trick or treating for candy, but we would never be able to eat any candy at all, because all the sweetened stuff in it. We cannot handle that kind of stuff because it will send me sky high with my blood sugars and will give me migraines, (that I might have to go to the hospital for). Reagan will get dizzy, Kaitlyn will feel very very sick and she will feel tired and stuff like that all because of a little piece of high high high sugar.But this year is going to be way different because we have free tickets to a concert here in Arizona and the best part is we also have free backstage passes for all eleven of us.I can not wait at all and it's happening on Halloween and it works out because we can't go trick or treating and we've been bobbling our minds for what to do for Halloween. And we finally got something to look forward to because I am definitely going to go. And I also have another thing to look forward to too and it's called Disney land on my birthday because every tenth birthday you get to go with one of our parents to someplace special. Imagine that!

But believe it or not I've never been to a real live concert so I'm sure this is going to be alot of fun I'm sure. I think after I've experienced this I will want to say, "encore, encore, encore!"

Then I'll be like a Michael Jackson fan and start crying saying "please please please please" after all they've done something like that before I'm sure. But hey that's just me. Also I want to say that if you ever need help with pain in your stomach or bad headaches then go to my mom's blog and you can leave a comment. That's the end of my blog for now.

Nights and Knights

Sometimes it can be hard when you have very hard problems especially at night when everybody's asleep. That happened to me last night because I wanted my lamp on and my brother wanted the regular light on. I ended up losing my iPod. I got furious and got punished and then I got even more furious and I had my lamp bending back so when I tried to turn it off it fell down without me knowing. And I got that taken away from me too. Also my baseball glove, my baseballs that were signed.


Funny story about that. I really wanted Todd Helton's autograph and Matt Holliday, but we don't live in Colorado anymore so I asked my dad and he signed both of their names so it really looks like they signed it. Except I tried to sign it first in red and black colored marker.


After a while in the bathroom I heard my dad say, "Colin get out here the lights are turning out in a couple of minutes." I did and then I noticed that my lamp was gone and I asked my dad, "Where's my lamp?" He said he took it away and my mouth dropped like an anchor and I just started flipping out like there was a chimpanzee was in my shorts looking for gold bananas. That was the end of all my stuff and just every thing. Later that night my mom and dad saw that I had a bloody nose and I didn't know it at all. My mom even made me take a shower later. I just was in there because of the warm water.


Really that night made me realize how sick we are. That's just what happened to me one night. That was the end of the bad stuff and it's the end of my blog for today too. BYE.

Dr.Gray

It's very hard to be moving here and there with houses and doctors and stuff like that but that's what I want to talk about right now. We have been to 35 different doctors all saying, "I have never heard of what he or she has," but one of our doctors in Colorado she was moving to Arizona, and she said she had heard of this doctor in a place called Benson, Arizona. He had long gray hair he's probably in his early 60s. Now get this, he has type 2 diabetes, and I have type 1. The difference between the two is because type 2 you have to watch your diet, but type 1 you have to dose for every thing you have that has carbs. But he was amazing. He helped us a whole bunch, especially this one night, when we were going to his office and I had cut my hand with scissors and thank God for stitches. I had to have them on for a week and that's how I learned how to ride my scooter with one hand. But any way I had gone low when I got there and he had a look at it. He had to take my mom's jacket off of my hand. He saw a whole bunch of blood pouring out. My mom was as scared as me when we were at the hospital.  I had no idea if I was going to stay there the whole night or not.
The hard part about it happening that day is that it was Reagan's birthday (he's the one with the gray shirt). When I talked to him on the phone he said he had gotten a new ipod that was black and he said that I could use it the whole day tomorrow. But that is tomorrow.


And yet still I don't know what tomorrow will hold.




Being Somebody Else

Being somebody else is hard because usually you are not the same to other people. But one thing i've learned is that all of us are different. And One thing that makes me feel like I am being someone else is that I have type 1 Diabetes, and that is very hard for me. You have to take shots before you eat and test your blood sugar all the time.
Taking shots is hard because you have to rely on the insulin to keep you alive. Testing is hard because sometimes the meter says the right number, but you don't feel like that. Also, it makes it hard on my mom to figure out how to dose me.
Plus, I take two different kinds of insulin. One is for at night and one is for the day. The day one is called Nova Log, while the night one is Lantus.
My family also has to take lots and lots of medication. We have at least one hundred medicines in our cupboards. We have to take pills every day and that is not fun. I have two bottles of medication for me. I get them from the acupuncturist. The acupuncturist takes you into his office and he talks to you about your symptoms, your medical history, and everything that has happened to you. Then he sticks needles into you at points that he thinks will help you, but that is no big deal for me. You should see the improvement that I have gone through. MY blood sugars have been better since acupuncture.
A lot of my siblings have said that this is the best doctor they have gone to yet.
Over all, I am going through a lot. I have Diabetes, which makes it hard for everyone, and I have a lot of medicines to take every day. But the acupuncturist has been helping a lot and I think that I am on the road to recovery.

My Every Day Life

You know, it's hard to be in a family with 9 kids and we had mold. But you know I know God made us go through this for a reason. But I was one of the most sick of them, in fact I was the one who noticed the Mold; it was right up under the bath and I asked my dad before I went to bed ''hey dad what are those lines up there" "that's water damage," he said. That was the day before we asked our neighbors to come over and look at it. But I did not know at that time what the future would hold. But we were taken out of school and we stayed at a place called the Mosaic. But we were taken out of that and found a house that I like to call the Gomez house. We have been in 6 houses and we have names for all of them like the True Vista house, the Gomez house, the Vince house, the Gedimodous house, the Andrada house, and this house which is going to be called the Javelina house. We found pesticides in the Gedimodouse house and we could not breathe. Some of us even slept outside for it, that's how chemically sensitive we are. But that reminds me that I should tell you about my symptoms', such as my chest booming inside of me and I had migraines that I went to the hospital for 3 times my hands were numb and so were my legs I had blurry vision and glasses and so that's the end of my symptoms and that's the end of my blog too.
