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.

Calla Update
Calla was released from the hospital and is being tended to by Omi and Charis. She's still having trouble with some functions (see video below) but she's doing much better.
Payton was actually stricken with some really sick temperatures and was rushed to urgent care. He's doing better, but this kind of competition is going to have to stop.

Pray For Calla...UPDATED 4:45 11-11-07
Charis has taken Calla in with fears that she has appendicitis. Please keep Calla and all the Laabs family in your prayers.
***Updated Calla had successful surgery to remove her appendix. She had been suffering a great deal and now is doing well. Doctors said everything went well, and they expect her to be hospitalized for the next 3-5 days.
Christa may be heading south to help out with Payton. We'll keep you posted as we know more.
***Calla is expected to be at Children's Hospital, Milwaukee for 2-3 days. It was Charis who pressed the pediatrician about the possibility of appendicitis. At first, he didn't think it was, but with Charis's continued pressure, they tested Calla and discovered she was right.
Calla is groggy but doing fine and Omi and Grandpa Du even talked to her on the phone. Omi plans on coming down on Tuesday to visit and/or help.
