You've been through the ringer..no wonder we haven't heard from you in a bit. Seriously...if you need to scream..just do it. Go ahead. I suggest grabbing a pillow though first. Actually, I've done that. A couple of girls and I once took pillows and screamed as loud and as hard as we could into them. It does help a little. Mostly just makes you laugh though. But truly Mary, I'm so sorry for all this crap to land at the same time. What an ordeal! Any time you need to you just ...

Particularly fancy ones. :-D There is this quaint village about an hour, or so, from our home that just has some adorable shops and that coffee house is one of them. It is soooooo quaint, and she just adores it! But our time away was kind of a right of passage event. She will be turning 13 in a couple of months and I figured we needed some time away to discuss life choices and responsibilities and other facts-of-life stuff. So,...

I read a book long time back from my local library about Drs Banting and Best. Dr Banting had designs to be a medical missionary, but following the war, found himself at a research hospital. He had a childhood friend die of sugar sickness and took up the cause to find a treatment for diabetes (among other things that he researched). The book was aimed at the children's market, and I had checked it out to read to my son, but I was the one that really enjoyed it. I believe th...

Perhaps that will get him on the stick to take his meds. He's been doing great with testing and shots, but remembering his pills is another matter! He complains quite a bit about stiffness and body aches. Some mornings he's moaning that he must have slept on this, or that, part wrong because of the ache, or pain. Here it could have been the lack of Vitamin D all along! ~Mary... Fri, 07 Dec 2012 04:05:16 -0800
