Day 3, and I'm really hungry today.
Today is the 90th anniversary of the development of insulin. Before insulin, children diagnosed with Type 1 were given on average 11 months. It kills me to think of my little girl, at 2 1/2, not having the valuable medicine that keeps her alive every day.
But still, insulin injections are only a stop gap. And no matter how many advancements there are in pumping and testing, its only life support until they find a way to replace the cells on Natalie's pancreas.
This is why I'm asking God for a cure for diabetes this year. Not just for us, but for all the families who struggle with this disease.
I'm losing about 2 pounds per day. I know fasting isn't about that, but I could afford to lose 42 pounds, so maybe that's God's bonus.
PS - Natalie, Jeremy and Mike are having Papa Murphy's for dinner. My favorite. The smell is everywhere!
