Ok, here is week 4, What do you think??? Journaling: When my baby was just 18 months old, she was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. My first thought was This is not my Fault Then I thought This Can’t be Happening Even simple illnesses become really big deals. She ended up in ICU at 4 years old from strep throat!! Many days I ask Will this Day ever end However, these are not my biggest fears, my biggest fear is what is called “dead in bed” syndrome. Parents of newborns worry about SIDS and check their babies often. A parent of a child with Type 1, have the same fear every night. Will her insulin work? Will she go low? Will she have a seizure? Will she wake up? It is this fear that causes me to set my alarm twice a night to test her blood sugar. It is the fear that causes me to hold my breath as I wallk to her room. It is this fear that make my blood run cold when my baby gets sick. This is a fear that NO parent should ever have to experience!
