María has been diagnosed with diabetes recently and her mom is calm about it, but she contact the foundation for information. They appointed my mom and they both set up the meeting quickly to see if María can be tempted to go to the camp next weekend (from August 2 to August 9).
Sunday after lunch they arrived at our doorway and we welcome María and mom to our house. We begin with some question about how she's been handling the situation so far in terms of medication, food and livestyle. We tell her to throw away that "insuline"she's been using and give her a new one that will at least last for a month or more. We give her a brandnew glucometer and explain the opertion of it.
Then we use the guide to explain basics and more compicated information of the care she sould be taking of herself. She's only 7 so mom is the one that we adress more, but ask for her opinion on food menu and on how she feels about the situation. We have a parents manual to give for María's mom. We tell her about the subects she can find and ask her if she need something else.
After almost 4 hours of talking we explain about the camp. María's mom is concerned because she's young, but we tell her about the security of it, about the doctors available 24/7 and the guides sleeping with the small groups made accordingly to gender and age. And we give the example of 5 year olds going and returning to home controling their own sugar levels. It seems as we have convinced her so we explain the system of taking the children to a certain point in the city (Alban Borja) and leaving in the same bus to Quito with my mom. My mom has to return because of her job, but then she goes back to Quito and brings the children back to Guayaquil.
I value this opportunity as well as the other. I got to meet an incredible little girl and now I'm involve in her life, hopefully I can help her to keep controlled her condition. It's amazing how they let us in and how we can make a change in their lives.
