Reagan diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes

As many of you know I have two children, Ryan is 7 and Reagan is 3.  We recently had a scare with our sweet little girl.  We had to take her to the ER on Oct. 4th and she was immediately admitted to the ICU at Wolfson's Children's Hospital in Jacksonville.  We spent 24 hours in the ICU with her before they had her system stabilized enough to allow her to move out of ICU.  Reagan was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes and thankfully we were aware of the symptoms (since my husband is diabetic) and took her to the hospital before her condition was desperate.  Needless to say, those 4 days we spent in the hospital were very difficult.  Thankfully Reagan is an amazingly strong little girl.  She has been home for several days now and is handling her new routine like a champ.  

Even though I will never understand why this happened to such a little angel, I do know that we will work together to ensure she is happy, stays healthy and lives a beautiful and enriched normal life.  I wanted to thank everyone for the warm wishes we received when news of Reagan's condition got out.  We truly appreciate all the kind words of encouragement and prayers.

Thank you,  Ann Marie
