Diabetic Ketone Acidosis (DKA).  Inevitably this is what will happen if your body doesn't produce insulin and you are unable to access medical intervention in time.  It can happen very slowly or things can go downhill very quickly.  Suffering is always part of process, and the end result is NEVER survival.

When Sugar was diagnosed, she was very close to the end of the list...fortunately, we were able to get a diagnosis, an ambulance, and an insulin infusion in the nick of time.

Sadly, that isn't the case for many families more often than we'd like to believe.  Somewhere today a child will succumb to Type 1 Diabetes because their family cannot access the insulin he or she needs to survive.

Please pray for this child's comfort....the broken hearted family....the turmoil that will be left behind.  Pray for the situation.  Pray that someone, somewhere, somehow can get insulin to these innocent children in time.  Pray that they'll be able to continue accessing it in order to keep their child alive.

Say BIG PRAYERS.  It's a BIG PROBLEM.

And then, please pray for Candy Hearts and the journey that begins unfolding on

2/14/11.
