Hello! its been awhile since my last entry to my BLOG! But today is a day to not REGRET the PAST! but move forward in this Journey and Mission in Life till the Cure is found. Well today in church we learned about disciples in training. YES! my family and Realitives go to church. Well anyway it was 35 years ago today.My baby brother was just shy of his birthday was rushed to the er. I was only five years old. The day was still taken in by shy! ME! He was getting sicker and sicker. My mom being a nurse did not like the signs she was seeing. Much to my knowlege I left with my aunt. While my parents stayed with my brother in which ended up in peds icu. He was not getting any better so they hooked him up on all sorts of ivs and stuff. I my self thought he would get medicine and come home in a couple of days but i was only 5 so were was my little mind thinking. But each day did not get better in fact he had slipped in to DKA AND IN COMA. No one new why! They just keep running all sorts of tests. And i knew lots of Angels were watching over him and all the prayers were going to pull him out of this some how some way. Because my family and espeically my Grandma had pull up there. More than any Angel i know she could get him out of this with his help. Well just shy of his 2 birthday he awoke and his first words were I am thirsty. What i releif that day was. But then the Dr came in and said your son has DIABETIES! my parents were like OK! we can deal with this at least we have our son. They did not know what they were in for soon to learn life of countless fingersticks , montering blood sugars, keytone sticks and who could forget wringing old urine to test which was not very accurate.Well let ME! say this my brother as little as he was did not let DIABETIES !!! stand in his way. He played all sports to bmx rideing moutain bikeing to skateboards, to now rideing thourgh DEATH VALLEY 6 TIMES. Well if it was not for my BROTHER AND HERO!!! To pave this journey i would not be as brave when i too was faced with this CHALLENGE IN 1994!! I was blessed the day he was born.And who knew that i was a disiple in training.Thank god! he was there for ME! from that first fingerstick and insulin injection till now. I know you will be there to when I CROSS THE FINISH LINE wether vermont, death valley ca, white fish nc, i know i will not be as fast but at least i am up for MY CHALLENGE AND MY GOAL to finish it might not be in record time but at least i DID IT FOR ME AND YOU ! LUV YA and THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO YOU ARE TRUELY AMAZING! I LOVE YOU LOTS!!!
