Get Well Robin!

Thank you, Gilbert & Donavan, Robin loves you! You made real smiles and laughs happen in her for the first time in about a month. <3

Robin is my daughter. After scary symptoms last week she has been diagnosed with Type 1 (juvenile onset) diabetes. It has affected her vision, but otherwise she is now pretty stable. I urge parents to pay close attention to changes in their children, diabetes can happen Anytime and it's Fast. Things such as voracious hunger (Robin is 9. She went from 1 piece of pizza to 6, & still hungry), frequent urination (she went every 25 mins), constant thirst, substantial weight loss ("isn't she looking bony lately?"), taking naps they normally don't take, Major irritability after meals. If your children show these symptoms, PLEASE get them to their doctor. Today. It will save their life.
