My youngest nephew Skyler hadn't been feeling well lately. After several days of vomiting he started complaining of his chest hurting and having trouble breathing. My brother Roger and his wife Krista called for an ambulance and he was taken to Wesley Medical Center. Here he is in a picture with Matt and Jarrett.
They checked his blood sugar at the hospital and it was 715. For those of you who don't know, that is pretty high. He is dehydrated and in
PICU until they get his blood sugar under control. He will be on insulin 4 times a day and Roger and Krista will attend classes to learn how to deal with his
diabetes. I visited him this evening and he just looks wore out. He has been trying to sleep most of the day and they are thinking that his blood sugar will be back to normal tomorrow. He hasn't eaten in a while and they won't let him eat until his blood sugar is lower.
Please pray for Skyler. He is a very sweet and loving kid. Please pray for Roger and Krista too because they will have to give him the injections and try to monitor his diet. I will be in touch with them tomorrow and I will post an update sometime tomorrow. Thank you.
