3 months after D-day

First of all, Praise be to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ!

My, how far God has brought us since October 16, 2011.  All I can do is PRAISE Him and THANK Him for all his many blessings!

Just an update on how things are going, 3 months "post-diagnosis."

Things were going really well, or so I thought...

The last two and a half weeks have been interesting.  P and S both had the flu.  Having the flu (or any sickness) complicates P's diabetes.   His sugar levels were high all day and then before bed kept dropping lower and lower.  We were ready to take him to the ER.  But once he vomited, and we were able to get him to eat and drink a little, his levels started increasing.  It was a long night, but we made it!

He has continued to have some highs and lows.  His normal range should be between 80-150.  He has been as low as 44 and as high as 501.  (These numbers were both in one day!)

I was about at the end of my rope and could not see the end in sight.  (Plus, when I spoke with a nurse at the doctor's office, she told me it could take 2 years to regulate his levels!)

So....the GOOD NEWS!  Shon and I are participating in the Daniel Fast at our church.  Our main focus for prayer and fasting is to HEAL P from this disease and until that happens, to help us have peace and patience in managing his diabetes.

Well...I started the fast Saturday and Shon started yesterday...P's levels today were AWESOME!  He ranged from 74 to 164.  These levels I can handle!  PRAISE GOD!

I cannot face these daily (and sometimes minute by minute) challenges without God!  I can place my diabetic son in His arms and rest, knowing that He is always checking his sugar levels.
