I found this news story on Penny's blog today. I know it's an older news story, but take a look at it. It's terrifying.
As some one who lives with Type 1 diabetes daily, this kind of thing terrifies me for all of the young children out there who are diagnosed every day at very young ages. It horrifies me to think of parents letting a child die this way, when it could be prevented.
It also reminds me that every day parents have to to deal with the effects of this disease on behalf of their children. I have a hard time comprehending how devastating it must be to have to do all of the necessary things to control diabetes for, and for that matter TO a small child every day.
It makes me want to shout to the world what wonderful parents people like Penny and her husband, and many others like them are.
Much love and prayers to you, Penny, and to Riley, and hope for a cure for all of our sakes.
