GOD IS SO GOOD

Joshua and I cannot express enough how thankful we are for all the road that God has laid for us previously and even now as I type this blog.

We are currently sitting in the PICU of Birmingham Children's Hospital. Samantha Grace, after some reoccuring symptoms that were perculiar for her age, went into her Pediatrician's office today for a blood sugar check. Her blood sugar finally measured out at 913. (Normal is 60 - 100 for her age.) We quickly were taken care of at Baptist South by wonderful Dr. M to stabilize her for transport to Birmingham.

Once stabilized, she got her first helicopter flight to Birmingham. (She is one up on mom and dad!) While here, we will be in PICU until they get things more stabilized. We will then see a diabetes specialist to get more stablization and Joshua and I will get diabetes 101 education.

This is a very rare case that a child this young would have diabetes. But we are praising God for all the circumstances that have come into play, our wonderful pediatrician (who is sitting right here in the waiting room with us right now), and all our friends and family praying for us. Josh and I would love to sit down and share with you the complete story some day, but for now we would love for your prayer support. We will be at Children's for the next 3 - 4 days at least.

We leave you with this wonderful and very purposeful verse that our pastor, Jay, handed Josh today:

"Give your entire attention to what God is doing right now, and don't get worked up about what may or may not happen tomorrow. God will help you deal with whatever hard things come up when the time comes." Matthew 6:34 (MSG)
