Selah's Diabetes

On January 7th, Selah - Greg's fourth - was diagnosed with type 1 Diabetes, meaning her body does not make insulin. The insulin has to be injected into her throughout the day and night to meet her needs. This is an enormous change for Selah and her family. There's no more casual snacks, no more grazing throughout the day. Ever. What goes in to her body needs to be accounted for so that the proper amount of insulin is placed in her through injections for the rest of her life.

The good news is, her condition was caught at very early stages and damage to her body by extremely high glucose levels was nonexistent. The good news is that Selah is now in the hands of doctors who can guide her dosages to make sure she remains healthy and grows to the beautiful woman she will be.

Pray for Selah and her family as she and they deal with all the changes that will occur.
