What is my fear? This is hard as I’m not really afraid of much. I guess my true fear comes from how our lives changed on December 19, 2005. Diagnosis Day. That day alone brought the fear of diabetes. How it would change our lives. But that isn’t the biggest fear it gave us. The biggest fear is whether she would wake up in the morning, which leads to many sleep interrupted nights...when she is home. That’s because my biggest fear (and proudest moment) came at the same time. October 30, 2010. Danielle was accepted into her college of choice – Western Carolina University – 3.5 hours away. I wouldn’t be there to check her at night. I had to rely on her alarm to wake her up to check her blood sugar or her body to wake her up if she had a severe low.
And then my next fear realized was on September 13, 2012. Danielle was so sick she had to be taken from campus to the hospital via ambulance….and I was 3.5 hours away and helpless. I had to rely on her talking to the nurses and doctors until I could get there.
I live my biggest fear every morning she is at school…..will she wake up? Will she answer her phone? Is she sick? Can she manage it on campus?
This will be my fear, every day, until there is a cure.
