Our 5th child Tom was diagnosed with diabetes in March 2001. He had a condition called ketoacidosis which means there is too much acid in the blood.

He got it again this year and went into high dependency and was on an insulin infusion.

I remember them putting the drip in his head when he was first diagnosed because his veins were collapsed and they couldn’t see any. You certainly do learn a lot in ICU. Life is such a gift and I know that our children are to be treasured. Thanks so much for this post.
