An update!!!

My apologies for the absence of updates over the past several weeks. Lacey continues to do very well and has been off of insulin for several weeks now. She is doing well and is living life to the fullest. She is wide open all the time and seems somewhat unstoppable. She is loving being able to be a "mommy" full time, and she loves having the strength and health to keep up with Elyse, who is now 16 1/2 months old. She continues to monitor her blood sugar, which is basically the only health issue she's dealing with at this time. Her pain is completely gone!!! She eats anything, everything, and as much as she wants and I can't express the joy I feel to watch her eat a nice meal. Her enzymes that she takes with meals are working well to digest her food and she looks healthier now than ever! God has been so good to us! However, she has been having some unusually low blood sugars over the past 10 to 12 days, and many times at night her sugar drops well below normal, even after she's eaten. Remember, she is on NO insulin, this is her body producing insulin at this rate. We, and the doctors are slightly concerned about this problem and she had some blood tests drawn this past Friday to attempt to determine the cause of this problem. The problem can be dangerous, especially if Lacey is alone because her rapidly dropping blood sugar can cause unconsiousness and possibly even death, so she tries to monitor it very closely while the doctors test to see the cause. I truly want to blog more often, because it brings light to my spiritual life and also to the life of many others. God has blessed us immeasurably and we must share. We are planning to share our testimony at Landmark Memorial Church tomorrow night and hope to share with many other bodies of believers in our region. Our God is an awesome God, His work in our lives is humbling and we can only be thankful. His work is perfect and all His ways are just! He is a God of faithfulness and we wish to praise Him more. Please continue to pray. More updates are promised!!
