On February 12th, 2011 Morgan got sick. The next day I brought her to her doctor who told me she had an ear infection. Well after another visit, and her progressively getting worse we made a trip to our er. Sugar baby was extremely dehydrated. The on call er doctor told us he had a very high suspicion of what it was but we were just going to wait for the labs. You see I knew something was terribly wrong with my baby. She was wetting the bed, lethargic, and just all around not herself. After about 45 agonizing minutes had passed he came in and told us it was exactly what he suspected. DIABETES!
Laying there feeling as if my world was crashing at my feet I had so many different emotions running through me. Relieved that we knew what it was, scared because I had absolutely no IDEA how to deal with diabetes, sad because I knew life was fixing to drastically change, angry because I felt it was all so unfair. Why? Why my baby? Then I would say to myself at least she is still going to be here. She isn't terminally ill. Always try to find some good in everything. Now here we are 2 years later and I still ask why sometimes. I still feel its unfair. I still cry over it, but I know my sugar baby is one strong little girl! She's an inspiration to me.
