My nephew, Jacob
So, my nephew has been in the hospital for a few days with complications with his diabetes. He is 16 and has type 1 diabetes (juvenile). Poor kid had his wisdom teeth out and the medications they gave him for pain somehow reacted with his other medication he's on and sent his body out of whack. So, he'll be in the hospital for a few more days to make sure his liver stops secreting so much sugar and that the insulin starts working again. He just wants out of the hospital, but said he's feeling OK. My sister, Alishia has been at the hospital with him, except a few hours each day to go home and shower. She is so good to do that, because not everyone would. So, I am hoping that when he gets home, he'll do well and take good care of himself. Jacob was born when I was 15 and in 9th grade. He holds a VERY special place in my heart. I love all my nieces and nephews, but he was the 1st, and used to run up to me when he'd see me and always hug me 1st. Of course, this ended around the time he turned 12 or 13. I still get hugs, but not quite the enthusiasm. HAHA! So, keep him in your prayers please.
