Thanks To The DOC, She's In DC!

Back on May 31st, a mother of a teenager with diabetes wrote me seeking advice because her type 1 daughter had been denied the chance to go on her class trip to Washington, DC. You can read that post, HERE.

And as always, the Diabetes On-Line Community was so supportive and helpful - both on-line & off!

Many of you have asked me what the outcome was. I've decided to let the D-Momma tell you the outcome herself!! ENJOY!

WAY TO GO, DOC - YOU ROCK!!

Dear DOC:

My daughter is in DC and having a blast! She's has been there since Monday and has not had one single problem with her diabetes.

This is so AWESOME because two other diabetics have signed up for the trip for next year and with my daughter's successful trip, they won't have to fight with the school just to participate!

I found out just before she left that she is the first diabetic to attend from her school.

I wonder how many others were not allowed before we came along.

I don't think I would have been was able to keep my cool and handle things so well without the support I found here. Kelly, her friend Tom the Advocate, and all of the parents in the DOC are the reasons why my daughter was able to go!

BIG THANKS to all of you who showed us support on Kelly's blog!
