Update

I just got back from visiting Bailey in the hospital. She is in good spirits and is coming to terms with all of this. There has been a lot of education thrown at her and her parents, but they are getting it. Bailey said that the worst part is the poking her fingers to check her blood sugar. She said the insulin injections are not bad at all. She will be checking her sugars four times a day right now. They have given her treatment information for how many carbs to eat at each meal time and snacks. Kari Ann and Patrick have had to check their own blood sugars and poke themselves with the needles so that they will know what Bailey is feeling when she has to do this for herself. She even stuck Oma and her Uncle Dub (my David) today. They also have taken turns actually drawing up her insulin and giving it to her so that they will all know how to do it. There is still more couseling to be done, but they are expecting to go home tomorrow. Bailey is a mature and very smart young lady. I have no doubt that this will be something she will be in control of very soon and she will be a pro at it. I told her that a month from now she'll be thinking it's no big deal. It will just be routine. Now I'm praising God for the diabetic child I had at school this past year. I learned a lot about Juvenile Diabetes and the different options and equipment that are available. Treating blood sugars whether high or low is VERY different with neonates so I'm thankful for this past year's experience. Thank you to those of you who have been praying (apparently, I only have two readers left), but thank you to you two who have been praying and keeping our family in your thoughts. It has been comforting. Bailey and her family read this blog and they said they noticed I had put something on here. So, if you have anything to say to them, you can put it in the comment section. I promise they'll be reading.
