Well its supposed to anyway! Usually this is the time of year when it starts getting humid and sticky. I'll admit, its my favorite season! I love the sun, UV Rays and all!
Its hard to believe that its been almost a year and a half since dad died. At times its like he's still here but at others I feel the gaping void he left as though it just happened. Now Grams is sick and having open heart surgery. If its not one thing, its another!
The past couple of week have been so stressful! CJ in and out of the hospital. First, sinus infection but then no its severe allergies to pollen and animal dander but wait no let's test for whooping cough! The poor kid just wants to play baseball!
Knock on wood but at least Riley is doing well! His A1c level is down and he's growing faster than I can supply the clothes! His doctors are happy with how well he's doing on the pump and everyone is happy that we've decided to do diabetes camp as a family.
Speaking of diabetes. Something has been really bothering me as of late. While researchers are constantly searching for a cure using whatever funding is made available or raised; the government spends millions if not billions on space missions?! How many times do we need to go the moon or whichever planet is on the agenda next. That money could be used on funding research not for just diabetes but for many of other diseases without a cure as of yet!! Alzheimer's, Diabetes, Parkinsons, MS, Macular Degeneration, various cancers, etc. Every single day there is some sort of new technology, gadget, or gizmo but yet people are still dying from the effects of these diseases.
Ok I guess that's my vent for today....perhaps more for tomorrow!
