Before I go though, I have two urgent prayer requests if you all could add them to the DDA list.
First, a good friend from our CA playgroup has a little boy who just turned 5. When he was a baby we use to call him my boyfriend because he was always so attached to me. Anyway, they found out on Tues that he has juvenille diabetes. His name is Ryan and he is struggling to accept the whole blood test/insulin/no Halloween candy thing. Also, his mom, Heidi, is struggling with the initial shock of the diagnosis, guilt that she didn't notice the issues sooner and grieving the loss of a "normal" life for her son. Luckily, the doctors say they caught it early and expect him to be able to regulate things fairly easily.
Second, and even more scary...Brendan's mom's boyfriend (been together 5+ years) was in a motorcycle accident sometime yesterday evening. He has at least one broken arm and probably two. The worst though is his leg. The doctor said that he has an 80% chance that he will lose his right leg. They should know better today what the prognosis is and their next steps. Terry is in his 50s, I believe, and loved his motorcycle. A very nice man and so good for Brenden's mom after the rough life she had with his dad.
Thanks everyone! My continued

for everyone here. I'll catch up this afternoon.
