I still hope for a cure. I pray for one every day. I have a lot of hope in Dr. Faustman's research being done at Mass General. I've been following her research every since Riley was diagnosed. It has not disappointed me yet.Penny Ratzlaffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03368479901015692591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19128701.post-35560098613455982022009-03-13T18:53:00.000-04:002009-03-13T18:53:00.000-04:00it's been 6 months for us and I can barely remembe...it's been 6 months for us and I can barely remember what life was like before. My prayer is that a cure will be found so soon that Elise won't ever remember having diabetes... how cool would that be? <BR/><BR/>I know it's a pretty lofty dream and I'm not holding my breath. It's just something I think about once in awhile.Joannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15030783893373288244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19128701.post-39501766881867765482009-03-13T18:43:00.000-04:002009-03-13T18:43:00.000-04:00Joanne,He was 3, not nearly as young as your daugh...Joanne,<BR/>He was 3, not nearly as young as your daughter. Still, he has no memory of life prior to diabetes. The sad thing is that I barely do either.Penny Ratzlaffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03368479901015692591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19128701.post-48207273034481978472009-03-13T18:27:00.000-04:002009-03-13T18:27:00.000-04:00I also watched last night's episode... it was good...I also watched last night's episode... it was good to see all the old characters back. I've always loved Carter too! <BR/><BR/>Your post about your son asking about being able to eat whatever he wants really struck a chord with me. My daughter was dx at 12 months, so she will never remember a time when she could just eat whatever she wants. Sometimes I don't know if that's a good or bad thing. When was your son diagnosed?Joannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15030783893373288244noreply@blogger.com
