Please come back to us Eileen


She was only with us a few short months, but we quickly came to love and depend on Eileen. She was our eyes when we couldn't see. Our ears when we couldn't hear. And saved our butts more times than I can count. Sure her whining grew tiresome at times, especially in the middle of the night. But as scarce as sleep is around here, I would give up a week's worth just to see her arrows and numbers once again.

Eileen left us tonight at 9:23 pm CST admidst beeps and shutdowns and failure messages. She gave us one final message: Err Code: 16R0F2D93c. I just wish I knew what it
meant.

Okay, I'm sort of trying to be funny here, but this really, really sucks. And because I seemed to have pissed off the universe in some way, Dexcom shipping is shut down for the weekend and they won't be able to send us a new receiver until Tuesday.

I foresee a lot of sleepless nights in our future...

  1. Eileen took off to be with Dex...think they are eloping. Whenever I ask him how things are going, he just looks at me with ???.


    Hope you get a new friend soon...E2?

  3. Awww- Come on, Eileen!

    My sympathies. I would be in a deep depression if Dexie took off on us. I hope you have awesome numbers while you wait for Eileen Jr.

    What's this sleep thing you speak of?

  7. Ugh.

    We had that within the first week of our trial and we had to wait the weekend too which I found utterly annoying since they would not extend our trial period. You will be okay - it's like riding a bike. You can get through the next few days without the net, I know it!

  9. Joanne received an email yesterday evening from Carrie (aka Life Saver) in Keller (about 30 minutes from us) who saw this post and offered the CGM they were just about to ship back to Dexcom (stopped beeping, only vibrates when an alarm goes off).
    Joanne drove to Keller late last night (I was going to go but she wanted to meet Carrie) to get it and we were back to normal at 1:50 AM (it takes 2-3 hours for the CGM to start working).
    Life is "good" again :^)
    Thanks so much, Carrie!!!

  11. Eek, the same thing just happened to me. My Dexcom has been a life saver for the last 6 months, now I am leaving on a week long business trip tomorrow and of course it dies tonite with the 16R0F2D93c error. They are shipping me a new one tomorrow, but of course, I won't have it until I get home from my trip. It is amazing how much we learn to depend on these little devices.
