My brother

For those of you who read this blog and know that I have a younger brother, Jon, please keep him in your prayers.

His health has been failing since May and we were concerned it was diabetes related (thirsty, massive weight loss, hungry).

Today he went into the urgent care where they tested his blood - his blood sugar was 780. For those who know, this is bad territory and can cause a diabetic coma. Normal is under 100 (around 70/80).

They've admitted him and he will be in the hospital for a couple days to get stabilized. He has all the symptoms of Type 1. He is 28 and has an uncle who was diagnosed type 1 a few years ago (in his 40s- not sure).

Thanks for all your prayers and thoughts for him, my mom and myself.
