On May 21, 2008 Destiny's life changed forever.  And so did the rest of the world.  Destiny had been very sick for almost a month.  She had been to the doctor three times and I kept being told she just had the flu.  I finally took her into the emergency room.  They told me she was dehydrated and thought she had the flu.  They were going to run some tests and let us go soon.  Yeah right.  Stan went off to work and left me at the hospital with Destiny.  Soon the nurses came in and started giving Destiny meds through the IV but wouldn't tell me what it was.  They said I needed to talk to the Dr.  An hour later the Dr. came in, pulled up a chair and held my hand.  He began telling me how Destiny was starting to slip into a coma and if I had not brought her in she might not have made it.  Her blood sugar was really high and apparently she had Type 1 diabetes.  I was dumbfounded.  To tell you the truth, I don't really remember much of what was said to me.  I just remember looking down from above and seeing myself fall apart while this doctor held my hand and told me it would be ok.  He left to call an ambulance to have Destiny transported to the Childrens Hospital.  Two nurses came in and sat with me until the amublance got there.  Our lives had changed forever.......
