Ace & Alex

Happy Palm Sunday!
What is the best thing that happened to you today?

How about being woken up before the sun rose?

Not many of us would consider that a good way to start the day, but for Ace's family a early morning wake up was just the thing they needed to start the day right.

Today's alert story came from Ace's family  who didn't like being woken up early at first, but was grateful for it in the end.

Ace woke me up at 4:30am...
at first I was like "Really?? I am sooo tired..."
but I listened and I got up and tested Alex.
Alex was 72--anything below 80 while sleeping is dangerous.
I'm so glad I listened to Ace, drug myself out of bed and got Alex some juice.
These night time lows are the scariest.
Thank you Ace for catching it before it was even worse!

Ashoton and Scooby

Another Amazing Friday Story from a wonderful family, Heather Chesnut , Thank you for sharing Heather !

This dog has changed Ashton’s life (and ours too). Ashton’s blood sugar is under control for the first time ever. (He was always in the 200s before – when he bothered to check at all – and 300, 400, and even 500s were not unusual). His doctor was amazed to see his A1C in the “excellent” range, and signed off on his driver’s license. He now has a license for the first time – he is almost 20 years old. Despite spending several hours a day training Scooby, his grades are better. He is socially “thawing out”, and he is much easier to live with to boot. I had hoped that, little by little, Scooby would help Ashton improve these aspects of his life. But, it wasn’t little by little, it was immediate. I could write a book about all this.
All this, despite the fact that dog training has not come easy for us, and we have had to learn a lot. (We’ve never had a dog before, and I think we’re not very naturally gifted with animals).
I’m sure you have heard this many, many times. I just wanted you to know what a miracle it is in yet another family’s lives.
Thanks, Heather
