Oh... wow.. I'm so sorry to hear about this news. You're in my thoughts and prayers!

That's a blow. I know it hit my mom hard when I was diagnosed at 11. There was a diabetes history in her family that stretched from the Earth to the moon. One good thing about this is that your daughters are near the best diabetes care in the world. Living near the Joslin myself is a big blessing for me. All my best.

Thanks everyone. We are blessed that our daughter is taking this very well. They are probably going to be inseparable.
Fortunately we are going to get discharged shortly. One thing for sure is now we need to deal with diluted insulin so that'll be new for us.

Big surprise, we had a special visitor at the hospital which made my daughter's day (and many daughters for sure).

She's Emily Osment who plays "Lily" on the Hanna Montana show!

Hi, Ron ~ Sending you my best wishes as you all head home. I've been thinking about you and your girls since reading your post yesterday (with dismay and many swear words!) ... and will definitely have them in mind and heart when I run the Vancouver (half) Marathon with Team Diabetes on May 2nd. If anyone would like to make a pledge on behalf of Ron's girls, or any of the other little ones dealing with the Big D, you're heartily invited to check out my pledge page (you can enter "Heather Burt, Vancouver" in the link below) ... or anyone else's pledge page. Or just send what you can to the American or Canadian Diabetes Association, or the JDRF ... lots of choices! Let's keep the research and support funds rolling!
