| Our
son Tommy who is 6 years old was diagnosed 8 months ago (February
2007) with Type 1 Diabetes. He will have this disease for
the rest of his life unless they find a cure.
We
are trying to raise money because we need a specially trained
dog for Tommy. Her name is Sarah and she can help to save
Tommy's life as well as help him have the confidence he
needs for the best quality of life, just like any other
6 year old. Sarah (the dog) is scent trained to detect when
his body's blood sugar goes too low and to help prevent
a diabetic coma. Tommy is very brave and administers all
4 of his needles a day, not to mention all finger pricks
through out the day. He is a trooper. Tommy loves to play
with his brothers and loves art and baseball.
His
brothers Zach 5 and Christopher 3 are always looking out
for him, they have even learned how to give him his needles
and are always asking him if he feels ok and if he should
check his sugar. |
