Please, prayers for my niece

[gini]

No news this morning - so that is good news!! I didn't sleep too well last night and every time I woke up I was thinking about Bev and her baby.

This beautiful young girl was 29 years old - a size 5 - a vegetarian - and ran 5 miles a day - and bammo - a full blown type one diabetic - at the age of 29. She has done such an incredible job managing this horrific disease. I have heard such horror stories about diabetic women having children. My neighbor that many Pet Talker's have met - is a diabetic. She has a daughter and carried her second child full term - but they "did something wrong" at the hospital - and her second child died. I believe it happened when they were administering the glucose to the baby. She has never gotten over that loss. However, she has a third child - a son.

So this may give you some groundwork to realize why I was so worried.

Karen - I'm not sure - but the baby will be a cousin - once removed? I never have figured that stuff out.

Rachel - I forgot my nephew's birthday this year and I too was mortified - ain't getting old grand?

Again, thank you for your prayers - I want to be sure to tell my niece that she had prayers coming in from all over the world - just for her and the baby.

Gini, congratulations on the new arrival in your family! Sending positive thoughts to your nice and hope you get more good news throughout the day.

Oh gosh, Gini! I'm so sorry I didn't see this in time to offer prayers before the baby was born, but now that I know, I will hope and pray everything continues to go well for baby and mom.

Thanks so much to all of you for your continuing prayers.

My niece called me this morning at the crack of dawn. They had blocked all incoming and outgoing calls so she would get the rest she needs.

The baby seems to be taking after his Mom - reddish/blond hair - and blue eyes at least for now.

My niece is still having some problems which may take a week for her body to settle down...........high blood pressure and she is still swollen.

The babies name is COLIN KELLEY - how Irish is that?

I am a very grateful Auntie - Great or not so great!

I just saw this thread. I'm so glad that mom and baby are ok. I hope things continue to get better.

Thank GOD that everything is ok now. I do hope that all the remaining issues with your niece will be overwith soon.
