John is 30 years old. For the last two decades he has lived with Type 1 (insulin dependent) diabetes. Four weeks ago John's blood sugars went low and he fell into a coma. A friend found him.
John has been in the hospital ever since, with two long stays in the intensive care unit. The poor guy has had issues with his heart, lungs, kidneys and most other life systems, and now he is
coping with a serious allergic reaction to some of the medications he was given.
I have kept this blog going as my way of pretending that life is normal. But, it isn't.
The blog will be on hiatus until John's situation is resolved and my mood lifts.

Thank you for sharing with us. You have contributed so much to the City Daily Photo community. Contributing can be therapeutic. But, you are right, there comes a time when it becomes an added stress and starts to overwhelm. Please stop back once in a while to give up updates... if you can.
You and your son are in my thoughts.

Oh Jack....I am so very, very sorry....you and John are in my prayers ❤
I am not a praying kind of person, but every positive thought I have is going your way.
I'm so, so sorry to hear this, Jack. I was hoping your "complications" were more simple annoyances. Diabetes is nasty and cruel. John and you will be in my thoughts and prayers. Please take good care of yourself in these difficult times.
I'm so very sorry to hear about your son's health troubles, Jack. I am thinking of both of you and your family during this time. Hope he makes a full recovery.
Oh no! Wishing you, your son and everyone around you all the best.

I am so sorry to hear this. There is nothing worse than watching our children suffer. I hope for healing for your son.
Jack, I just found your blog and am so sorry to hear this. I will keep your son in my prayers. You have a lovely blog.
Focus on what's important, Jack. Please continue to keep us updated....and know that many of us in the CDP community are praying for your son. We'll be here when you return.
Life is not fair. No child should suffer like John did and no parent should have to go through what you did. I cannot express in words the empathy I feel for you all. All I can do to hope that it is true that good thoughts reach and touch you and help you all go through this tremendous loss.
My thoughts and love to all of you,
Merisi
