Yesterday afternoon, I called 911 because my dad was lethargic, ill, and hadn’t left his house in four days. What started out as what we thought was a virus ended up being much more serious because his diabetes went into overdrive. Once the paramedics were on site, we found out that his blood sugar was 500+ (more than their equipment could read), and his heart rate and blood pressure were through the roof.
We caught it just in time.
I took to Twitter and Facebook to ask for prayers and positive thoughts and the pouring of love I have witness has been unbelievable. Many of you don’t know me, BUT through social media and networking, you cared enough to show your love and compassion. I am so appreciative.
Currently, my dad is ICU until his blood sugar and other vitals are stable and at a normal level. After that, he will be moved for a few days to the regular hospital floor where he will be watched and closely observed.
Please continue to pray for my dad and for his health—THANK YOU!
I pray your Dad gets well soon sweetie!
Most definitely sending prayers for your dad’s quick recovery!

I will continue to pray for your father’s healing as well as strength & encouragement for you & your family. Be encouraged.
Oh honey!! I am so glad that he is being taken care of. I hope he is ok very soon.

Wow. Thankfully he was able to get the help he needed in time. Sending positive vibes.
Adding you and your father to my prayer list.
All my love & prayers for a speedy recovery for your daddy! If I recall you’ve said in the past you’re a Daddy’s girl so I’m sending some extra love out to you too! xoxo
Glad you were able to get him medical attention quickly. Diabetes is nothing to play around with. I have Type 2 Diabetes so when you said he was weak I knew his blood sugars were either tanking or going through the roof. Continuing to pray for you and yours!
Praying for a speedy recovery for your dad. Thank God you called 911 for him!
We will pray for him. I’ve learned that there are many things that can affect blood sugar levels in diabetics, so you can’t be too careful.
I just said a prayer.
All my love and prayers!
oh darlin…i had no idea…
sending prayers out to the universe for a speedy recovery and renewed health for your dad.

Sending my prayers to you Dad. Both of my parents are diabetic and it runs deep on both sides. It is no joke. Thankful that you were there to get him to the hospital on time. Wishing your Dad a speedy recovery.
