My sister Jenny's little boy, Philip, was admitted to the ICU at Children's Hospital in Minneapolis today. He had been experiencing flu-like symptoms for a few days. They took him to the doctor yesterday, who said he had the flu and sent them home, even though they told the doctor repeatedly that Phil had been excessively thirsty. Well, this morning he was unresponsive, so an ambulance took him to Children's. He's never had any health problems before, but they diagnosed him with Type 1 diabetes. He was in diabetic shock and slipping into a diabetic coma. They are now slowly getting his blood sugar levels back to normal, but he is still unconscious and in the ICU. He is such a sweet, adorable little guy, and it breaks my heart that they are going through this. Please pray for Jenny, Eric, and Phil.

Thank you so much for all the prayers and support. Phil was awake long enough to eat solid food tonight!!! I think he will be moved out of the ICU tomorrow.
We're praying for you, little Philip!
Aw, Phil is such a sweetheart.
I'm glad he's at home and doing better. :)
