Juvenile Type 1 diabetes

Those few words have turned our world upside down. One week ago my 11 year old daughter was diagnosed with this life changing condition and we spent many days at Children's Hospital being ministered to my medical angels.... or so they seemed to us. We were in a state of shock and fear and they guided us through a world we never wanted to know. A world about blood tests, insulin, syringes and carbohydrates...
And now we are on our own, shell shocked but alive and wondering how long it will take, if ever, to feel easy and normal again.

I look at my previous happy and carefree post. I remember the eagerness of looking forward to spring and gardening. How little did I know that during the last few days of winter our lives would be turned upside down as we struggled to save our childs life.

It took just a few days. And our life will never be the same again.
