Is Barney in charge, here?


We all love the Deltec Cozmo pump. It's super easy to use, and making adjustments is as simple as programming say, a cell phone.

In 26 months since the Florida Incident, we've had zero problems with the pump, until the other day Jon was doing a site change, and noticed a crack in the pump casing. It hasn't affected the way the pump works or anything, but we don't disconnect Noah for swimming, or the beach and that crack would let water in for sure.
I made the call to Smiths Medical, and arranged to have a replacement pump in slate grey sent here next day air.
It arrived yesterday and you would have thought Santa came early! Noah hopped around the kitchen while I undid the tape on the box to reveal...

A purple pump. wah-wah-waaaah.

I had to laugh, because Noah looked so comically offended. His face was a priceless mix of confusion and dibelief that the Cozmo people had overlooked the fact this pump was meant for a macho boy of 10. Even when I called customer service, the nice woman I spoke to chuckled, and said, "oh no, he got the "Barney Purple one"!

Much to Noah's relief, a new pump in a color more suitable to him is on it's way.

Hi Lea, my name is Tracy. I'm Maggie's mom and will be the one typing and posting. Maggie is loving preschool and is sad that it is coming to an end. We have been dealing with diabetes for about 18 months but I am totally new to the discussion boards and this website too. It is really nice to read comments and questions that I have either felt or wanted to ask but don't have anyone close by that I can really talk to that truly understands. But, I have to admit I'm not good about checking my emails and the new posts every day! But I will comment when I can!

It was great meeting up with all of you. I'm so bad, I've forgotten your hubbie's name (sorry). I hope you all made it home safely. I blogged with a picture at http://tinyurl.com/3z7r4l.

That's the best meter review page I've ever seen. It was a shock to realize that most of my local ski hills (Canadian Rockies) are too high to use some meters at.

Re your Nov 14 discussion "Skiing Pumping Testing"

Here's a good listing of current meters including temperature ranges and even maximum altitude.
