After the Blizzard is gone and the sun shines brightly and the wind blows ever so lightly. You here the birds singing, rejoicing in such a beautiful day. Reminded of Gods wonders and grateful for the blizzards passing. Grateful for the new day, we savor its very first day. When cabin fever is gone and we step out into the sunshine. We enjoy Gods creations with our friends and family, taking it all in while it lasts.
We just recently had us a pretty good snow storm, cold enough to keep us in for a week. Icy enough to keep the schools closed for 4 days. Now the ice has gone the sun shines and an awesome breeze blows through the air. I here of the cold returning to play so taking in these gorgeous days. And Oh how we enjoy these days all the more after the storm.
Another horrific storm is when sickness or tragedy hits. Sickness has hit my family numerous times. Sickness is even more horrific when one already has an illness. Recently my 3 year old son who has type 1 diabetes came down with a stomach virus. No fever but throwing up regularly. No appetite for food and could barely even keep his water down. He had large diabetic ketones. He was very sick I talked to on call endo doc, she help me with sick days for type 1 diabetics and she said if he didn't get better take him to the ER. We followed her instructions and one of the things we had to do is give him insulin even though his blood glucose was NOT high and even though he was not eating because of risk of DKA. The fear of DKA (Diabetic ketoacidosis) and a low (Hypoglycemia) was there. We were walking on egg shells. Many many extra BG checks. And medicine to try and stop him from getting sick. Finally he stopped getting sick. A relief though still not out of the woods. We needed to make sure the ketones was gone. After much water and some insulin the ketones were finally gone. Major relief there we could stay home we didn't have to head to the hospital. Praising God!!! It took another day before he gained his appetite and energy back. Such a joy to have him home and well!!! It was beautiful out when he was sick to ill to go out in it. So I said soon he would be better and I would take him to the park and we would feed the ducks. God helped me keep that promise and gave us more beautiful days. As soon as he got well he remembered and asked to go to the park and feed the ducks. So off we went me and the little guy to the park. He was so excited to see all the ducks coming toward him to eat the bread as he tossed it to them! I was so excited to see his excitement and to take in such a beautiful along side him!! The ice is gone....Look and see what the Lord has done!!!
