… and I’m back
Well, the past few days have been interesting to say the least. Crissy’s little sister, Jill (to the right of me in this picture), got really sick so Crissy and I flew out to Columbia to be with her. I’m very happy and relieved to say that’s she much better now, and I just got back in Seattle and Crissy’s coming back tomorrow.
Jill had been diagnosed with pre Type II diabetics and it seemed to be all under control with her new diet. But, last week, Jill went into diabetic shock and was in the ICU, so we rushed to see her. Now Jill is back at home mostly back to normal, but needs to have regular blood sugar tests and insulin injections. She’s not a fan of getting the shots and having blood drawn; she very succinctly described it all, “I hate blood sugar! I hate diabetes!”
Crissy and I really happy and thankful that she’s better. But we’re still a little stressed and shocked from the ordeal. I realized on the plane ride back that we’re incredibly fortunate to have jobs that we can get time off for things like this and have enough money that we can afford last minute travel across the country.
And, of course, access to the healthcare was helpful too. :-)
