Almost 4 weeks ago my world came to a halting stop. I couldn’t breathe and the only thing I thought was why me, why Breelynn.? As I sat beside my little girl in the hospital all I could do is try to hold myself together. The nurse looks at me and says you know why you are here, all I could do is shake my head yes. Not really understanding what was going on. Then she tells me Breelynn has type 1 diabetes and you are going to have to stay at the hospital for a couple of days. What does diabetes mean? I had to hold back every tear that tried to hit my face as my little girl was looking at me for comfort. The last thing any mom wants to hear is ( you are going to have to give your daughters shots everyday.) The tremendous fear and guilt I had that Bree had to go through this has no words.
They took us up to ICU and there we stayed for 4 long days of intense learning and quizzing on the facts of diabetes. Some of you might ask why am I telling this, b.c I know there is a mother going through the same hurt, guilt, anger, and sadness that I have gone through these last couple of weeks. Yes she is the bravest girl I know. She has fought her way back to being healthy and is learning to tolerate shots. I am just so proud of Bree and she is my rock. We are getting through this one day at a time. I would have never thought this would ever happen to us in a million years. Thank you , thank you to everyone that has supported our family through this hard time. I am so grateful for all my friends and loved ones.
I just wanted to share a little bit about Bree new road in life. Please any moms out there that are going through this I understand and would love talk.
