Still, every single morning I get up the first thing I do is walk to his door and listen for his breathing. If I don't hear him breathing I walk in and place my hand on his chest. I don't worry about a heart attack. I worry about dead in bed syndrome. As soon as I know he's still alive I take a deep breath and say a silent prayer of thanks. I've been doing this every single morning for over 3 years now. <BR/><BR/>And, looming complications gets to me too. I found a statistic I used at Riley's walk last year and it has haunted me ever since. "People with Type 1 diabetes usually have some form of complication 20 years after thier diagnosis".<BR/><BR/>Riley was diagnosed when he was three. All I can do is wonder if he'll have complications by the time he's 23. It makes me cry every time I think about it.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for sharing such an honest post George.Penny Ratzlaffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03368479901015692591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20953083.post-49787937134794255672008-12-10T20:58:00.000-08:002008-12-10T20:58:00.000-08:00Already talked to you about this, but I'm also sto...Already talked to you about this, but I'm also stopping by to say I enjoyed your post on the D.O.C. site.<BR/><BR/>Laters!Scott K.

If my husband goes to work in the morning, and we haven't told each other we love each other and I've gotten my kiss, I panic, thinking I'll have a heart attack and die before he gets home. It's a terrible way to think about things and live, and I wish I knew how to turn it off... I wish I knew, George. All I can tell you is that aren't alone, my friend.Lee Ann Thillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16444534323119682711noreply@blogger.com
