Sam was diagnosed on January 3rd 2003, at the age of 2 1/2 years old. He was in severe DKA, and we did not know if he would live through the night. That was the beggining to our horror story. Sam is now almost 5 and his sugar levels are still very unstable. He has to have 3 shots a day, and around 10 finger pokes. His fingers are so callused and scared, no child should have to go through so much pain on a daily basis. But inspite of everything he goes through, he is the best natured and sweetest little boy you will ever know. He had accepted this new way of life with the courage that no adult could ever do. How could a country with such with so much technology and opportunities not endorse stem cell research? I know as a parent of a child with this disease I would and will do everything in my power to make it possible to cure my son of this horrible disease. I guess it comes to this-WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF IT WERE YOUR CHILD?
