Sep. 22, 2008 - Prayer Request please
My friend IRL sent out an email last night after returning from the hospital with her daughter, who is a friend of my daughter. Her daughter, M, had to spend 48 hours in the hospital after discovering that she is now Type 1 Diabetic. For those who don't know Type 1 is VERY different from Type 2. Type 1 will have this their entire life, no thing such as losing weight or diet will let them go off medication and it means a lifetime of insulin injections or pumps inserted into their bodies. M is going through 4 or more a day and she is only 5. This is hard for her and her family as they learn to live with this. There is no cure for Type 1 as it is the bodies inability to make insulin at all. M is five with a long life ahead of her so it's hard to picture at this age her having to deal with this from this point on. Please pray for my friend, her daughter as well as her husband and son they are going to need a lot of support in the coming days and months, some of which will only be possible through our Lord Jesus Christ. She has given me permission to post this :) Feel free to leave comments here and I will forward them on to her.

Hi I am from Peach and saw your message and ended up here. We have a little gal at our church who is six and was diagnosed with Diabetes last year at this time. It is hard for Maddy but she is getting use to all the "fuss". It would be neat if the two girls could get to know each other. I could talk to her mom and see if she would be interested.

HI LORI, THAT WOULD BE NEAT. I WILL SEE WHAT HER MOM HAS TO SAY.
