Prayers...PLEASE!

I am asking all of you to get on your knees and lift my neice, Bailey, up in prayer today!!! She was just diagnosed with diabetes. Kari Ann had been suspicious and was watching her carefully. She had been drinking a lot and waking up in the night to go the bathroom. She is 12 years old and she is the skinniest thing ever, but she has lost 5.5 lb in the last few weeks. Yesterday during church she began complaining of blurred vision. Kari Ann took her to the doctor this morning and they diagnosed her. Her blood sugar was over 500. They are on their way right now to Children's Hospital in Dallas to work on getting her stabilized and work out a treatment plan for her. Please pray for her and the whole family. Bailey was planning to leave for Band Camp tomorrow and is very upset that now she can't go. Please pray that the doctors will get her sugars stabilized quickly and that Bailey, Kari Ann, and Patrick can learn what they need to in order to help her deal with this disease with as little upset to her normal day to day life as possible. I appreciate all of you and know that you will support our family through this!!!

I agree! Please keep us updated so that we can know exactly what they need prayers for. I'll be sure to keep all of them in my prayers! Please send Kari Ann and her family my love and let them know my family and I are praying for them. Bailey is an incredibly strong young lady, and I know, with the Lord's help, all of this will work out!
