Kaitlyn's Getting Nervous

Please pray for Kaitlyn!  We are scheduled to return to Vanderbilt March 1 for her confirmation glucose test.  Kaitlyn is getting more and more nervous as the date gets closer.  I don't blame her.  We can withdraw from the study at any time, and I gave her that option.  She wants to go.  And she doesn't.  I so understand.  Realistically, we know she's progressing toward type 1, but a true diagnosis is so much scarier.  Taking supplements every day has been a constant reminder of where she is.  That part has hurt.  Yet, if they help, taking a few supplements and avoiding D for a little longer is worth it.  Maybe the test will show how much they are helping.  Then maybe they won't.  Once that 2 hour number shows over 200, there is no turning back.  We want to know, and we want to run away and hide our heads in the sand a little longer.  At home, her fasting and 2 hour after meal numbers are normal.  If she tests normal, I'll be so glad we went!  I'm also curious as to whether the antibodies have improved.  I want to think positive.  But then she thinks she's been low a couple times lately.  On Sunday, she felt "low" and was 79 a few minutes later when we could test.  I thought she might be hungry, but she said she knew because she felt it in her thighs not her stomach.  I think lows can be another predictive sign of not regulating glucose properly.  So, please take a moment and say a prayer for Kaitlyn please!  It's a lot to face for a 13 year old.  For anyone.

Oh, and Ben ran a high fever Friday and Saturday.  Today, Ryan came home with a stomach bug that's going through the middle school.  Please pray they keep their germs to themselves! Thanks! :)
