Please meet Tiara Marie
D.O.B
She was healthy for the most part but for weekly ear infections.
Then In December of 2002 shehad a drastic weight loss of 10 pounds
in a month and was drinking water like no tomorrow and her whole emotional
state changed in that month. On January 21st, 2003, He mom took her to the
doctors because she was going potty a lot.The doctor sent us for blood workand
before we knew it we were off to the hospital for a 7 day stay. It was
during that stay we found out she had Diabetes Mellitus Type 1. Tiara Marie
is a strong willed child and took control from day one and did her
own blood checks and shots. Mom knew it would be a life changing
thing for the whole family.
On September 24, 2003, she was diagnosed with Todd's paralysis, which
is a temporary paralysis of a part of her body during a seizure.
In a nut shell this is her story. She loves Winnie the Pooh and loves
to do arts and crafts. She does her own shots and checks her own blood at
least 4 times a day. I am so very proud of her and wish I had half of her
strength and braveness.
She has a little sister RayLee who turned 7 on October 8th. RayLee loves
soccer and Mickey and Minnie Mouse. She is on Diabetes watch because her
last A1C count came back low. I pray everyday that she doesn't come down with
it but if she does she knows what to do. She takes real good care of her
sister.
