We have a big life update to share. Our 11 year old daughter, Emma, recently went into Diabetic Ketoacidosis and was on the verge of a diabetic coma. She collapsed at home and had to be rushed to the hospital by ambulance. None of us, including her doctor, knew she was diabetic.

This is a lifelong condition with no cure, and we’re just starting to learn how to manage it. Emma is understandably struggling to process everything, so we’d greatly appreciate your thoughts and prayers as she adjusts.

This experience has been overwhelming emotionally, and it’s going to be financially difficult too. If you’re able to contribute, even a dollar or two would mean the world to us. Thank you for your support. gofund.me/f8bce3ab

Emma spent two days in the ICU and several more in the hospital. Because of how severe her case was, the doctors were deeply concerned about potential brain damage and other complications. Thankfully, she seems to have cleared those hurdles, but her body has been through significant trauma.

My 11 year old daughter is currently very sick and in the ICU. She absolutely loves pokemon go and would be just thrilled to wake up to some new friends so she can share gifts with them. Her code - 3609 1782 1410 #pokemon #pokemongo #icu #hospital #sick #friends #Pikachu #eevee #Charizard

I live for moments like this—completely alone, with nothing but the sound of rushing water. I could have stayed here all day. #lookingglassfalls #waterfall #northcarolina #blueridge #longexposure #sonyalpha #a7iii #travel #explore #adventures
