It's true...I still feel so tender and fresh to all this, I feel like I will pounce on people one minute for calling Isaac a diabetic child and then sob the next when a family member says, "is it any easier, now?" Or how about, the "well at least you guys know what to do," so really I appreciate you doing this for all of us who still have a knot in our stomach and a frog in our throat. I appreciate it beyond words.

Anyway, I love this project and I was so excited when I saw you in the first video. I'll be out of town on the 15th but I will try to make my video before then.

I was diagnosed when I was 10, and the same night that they had to check me into the ICU from almost going into a diabetic coma, they had to check my mom into the ER because she had such an awful stress migraine that she couldn't stop throwing up. <br /><br />Moms put themselves through so much, and continue to be SO ridiculously strong for their children, despite the fact that they feel like they're breaking inside. People like you amaze me. I'm so thankful for your existence. Keep it up :) You can do this!Lala Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06474416641820585183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248101319829846491.post-89194543218807675622011-06-10T09:18:41.123-07:002011-06-10T09:18:41.123-07:00I'm sorry I need to come back and read this th...I'm sorry I need to come back and read this through.
