Oh Mary.....thats terrible.....

I too am watching my aunt suffer terribly with MS...which is of course terminal. One of my dearest friends lost her son at 21...He was attending Notre Dame and died from  a diabetic coma. I have Alzheimers in my family also.

I would imagine EVERYONE here knows or is related to some-one or may even be suffering silently themselves. I hope we can grow this group organically to help in any way we can.....however small...it all helps

@Rachel...I certainly know where Susan is coming from. I pray for Research everyday. Not only am I familiar firsthand with the Crohn's Disease my Daughter suffers from, I am not a stranger to Diabetes either. Lost my Brother at age 35 to Diabetes also a young man from our neighborhood at age 35.  My Cousin has battled Diabetes since a child, now in her early 50's just recently had open heart surgery as a result of Diabetes.  Familiar with MS as I watched a Nun at my Daughter's grade school battle the beginning and middle stages of it until she had to quit teaching.  I firmly believe that Stem Cell holds many answers and thus far has proven to be pretty effective in its use so far.  It will be the future to cures.

@ Mary...it  was so very interesting listening to Susan Solomon as she shared her journey with us. Her son has type 1 Diabetes which propelled her to start this foundation. She talked of such diseases as Diabetes, Ms,Parkinsons etc.....This much needed research seems to be the way forward towards finding a cure. It has to be terrible for you watching your daughter.

@Rachel  I signed up for their Facebook page after leaving my post here.  I've been interested in Stem Cell for quite some time.  Have no clue if it might play a role sometime in the future for my Daughter, but it is a possibility.
