Friday July 25th Update

What a busy week we have had! House full of kids with all kinds of stuff to do. We had so much going on this week that Allison and I both had to take some vacation time to keep a handle on everything. So much for using vacation time for relaxing. It's been anything but that but I wouldn't trade these days for anything in the world. With all the kids, and all the stuff going on, I look around and see life happening and then we just try to soak it all in. I know that all too soon these days will be over so we are trying our best to enjoy them as much as we can in the here and now.

Dawson just continues to do fantastic. He is getting better and better each day with his forward motion crawling. Doesn't it just blow your mind the awesome power of God??? It certainly does ours!!

Katelin continues to do really well. As of right now the only insulin she is getting is at night. She is in her " honeymoon phase" where the body starts producing its own insulin again. This will not last and she will eventually go back to getting shots with every meal. She ( and we) are enjoying this time short as it may be. Her b/s levels are still tending to be low at times so we have to keep special eye out for her especially during exercise. A couple of times this week it got way to low. Low enough to give glucose drinks to get it up in a hurry. She has learned what it feels like when her sugar is getting too low and does a good job of letting us know shes not feeling right. This is just such a difficult time for her and she is handling it better than I thought a 6 year old could.

So we continue to marvel at God's grace, and our hearts are full of thankfulness for all he has given.

We love you
Jeff and Allison
