OT: Medical scare/Prayer request

[freakhappy]

Robert...sorry your daughter and family had to go through all of this...I can't imagine. I'm happy to hear that things are looking up for her as no one should have to endure that, especially a child. I'll be sending prayers your way, friend...keep your chin up.

Words can't express how much all these kind words, thoughts and prayers mean to us. Guys from the bottom of my heart I thank you!

Robert- All the best to you, your family and your daughter Ruthie. My wife also has Type 1 diabetes and had a rare adult diagnosis at about 29/30 (Jay Cutler was also diagnosed as an adult). She is about 5 years in now, and though I can't say her life is completely normal... can't be completely normal when she has to monitor/count virtually every carb she eats going forward and has to battle low blood sugars as well as the high... over time it has become her new normal. I trust this will be the same for Ruthie.

Other things that have been amazing in our experience over the past few years have been the advent of devices such as the CGM (continuous glucose monitor.. which means you don't have to prick yourself several times a day anymore) and the pump, which regulates the amount of insulin per injection. I'd expect these would be offered as options. As you go forward, feel free to contact us (my wife offered her email address if you have questions) anytime. I'm sure there will be a learning curve and adjustment period, even for others in your life as type 1, though different than the much more commont Type 2, is often misunderstood and mistaken for type 2.. but as already said, it will become a new normal.. and like with a Jay Cutler, or my wife, you still do the things you did before.

Best,
Ian

Prayer from me and family for your daughter. As in verse Romans 8:28 says, "...all things work together for good for them that love God"(KJV).

If you dont mind some other 60's football cards, if you PM me your adress, I will send them on to you and daughter.

Try and have a great Thanksgiving

Thank you so much brother. I do love Romans and what the Word tells us. I typically think of Romans as power scripture and If im not mistaken the Apostle Paul wrote to us in Romans.
