Day 16: April 16, 2010

A note to relatives...

On another note, (rather be telling you this in person, or at least on the phone), Jimmy (jr.) was diagnosed with Juvenile Diabetes on April 1st. We stayed in the hospital until the 3rd - we were home for Easter, so that was good. He's handling it, we're hanging in there. With Joey having it, and my uncle having had it, they figure the family history played a factor. He was so thirsty, a bit tired, and "going" every 2 hours at night (when he had NEVER gotten up to go before.)

So, when I brought him to the dr. to get him checked out on the 1st, they shipped me right over to the pediatric E.R. in Hackensack. They took such good care of him and us. We're getting the hang of it - he has his ups and downs (literally.) Jenna has been so good - helps with his blood monitoring and helps get the injections ready. She's such a big help. He's taking about 5 shots a day - might change as we get it regulated and they can put him on a "pump" which is evidently much better. Time will tell.I'm sure we'll talk soon - say a quick prayer for a cure if you get a chance!!! Hope you are all well and enjoying this spring weather!!!
Peace,
June
