The day actually came.


One year and 5 days ago I was in shock that I had a diabetic child. Today I am in shock that I now have 2 diabetic children.
My Little Man was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes today.
It has been a very long, emotional, and interesting day.
I promise I will post more about it all tomorrow when I get to go to the hospital to sit with him.
It is KILLING me that I can't be there right now! If I was ever going to quit my job today would be the day! Training isn't fun at 6:30 in the morning, but I am guessing it is going to be a little worse thinking about my little man in the hospital and I can't be there with him. Good thing he has an amazing daddy that is staying by his side!
On a totally side note...I got the most amazing gift in the mail today from a fellow D-Mom, blogging friend! WHAT A PERFECT DAY FOR ME TO GET SUCH AN AWESOME GIFT CELEBRATING WORLD DIABETES DAY! I am going to wear it all day tomorrow....maybe even the next day! THANK YOU NICOLE!
Goodnight world and good night to Halloween and trick or treating FOREVER!

I wish there was a way that I could reach out and give you a hug right now! I can't imagine what you're going through :( Please know that we're here for you and anything you need, all you have to do is ask!
I know it's hard to look at things so positive right now, but you're a STRONG Mommy and you CAN do this! You've been through the hardest part with your Princess and you already know how to care for your Little Man :) You're going to be fine! You've got lots of us praying for you and we're always here on MSN if you need to vent/talk.

Sniff...sniff...my heart aches that this disease has attacked another precious child.

It was a perfect day to get that special gift from Nicole. Just a reminder that we're hear for you and will walk with you on this journey.

God bless you today, in the difficult days to come, and always.

My sister heard of a family, who lets the kids go trick or treating, and then they can pick a handful of their favorite treats, and they leave the rest out for the Halloween Ghost who comes in the night, and takes the candy and leaves a toy in its place. I think it is a great idea.

Wow.

At the very least, he is alive and now you know how to keep him that way. I can't imagine what your family is going through right now but we will lift you up in prayer.
