Cydney
From her mom, Jessica:
My daughter Cydney had a terrible stomach ache and was worn down for several weeks. She was eating and barely sleeping. I watched her grow thinner and thinner. Worried we took her to the doctor. They said come back in a few weeks it’s probably a virus. She grew thinner. After a day with grandma where Cydney ate a pretzel and an icee from Subway she was doubled over in pain. This isn’t right my husband and I took to the ER in our small town. The doctor diagnosed her with a nervous stomach but a smart nurse decided to check her urine. It was off the charts. She was rushed by ambulance an hour away to the pediatric ICU where she stayed for a week. Type 1 diabetes we had no clue and our lives were forever changed. 10 years later our little girl still fights every day and saves her own life.
