Pray for Karina

Hi Everyone!  Our sweet friend, Karina, has been very sick for months.  She went to the public clinic a while ago and they were not much help.  Over these last 2 months every time I see her she has lost more weight and she is so weak she can barely move.  She came over to our house complaining that her vision was going and she couldn't see.  I finally took her to the Private Clinic to try and get some answers.  They took her blood sugar and the machine would not even register because her sugar was so high.  They immediately put her on insulin bags and it took 3 bags to get her sugar into the 300s.  They sent her home with pills to take and she has returned a few times this past week for blood tests, more insulin, etc. They are trying to find a treatment for her.  She is going in tomorrow for a full check up to see if her organs were damaged since her diabetes has gone on for so long without being treated.  Please pray for her.  Karina is the lady in INVU that we built the white fence for because she is wanting to start a little daycare for a few children in her home.  Of course she has to be healthy before she can do this.  She has 3 beautiful children, one of whom is in our Youth Group and one in Kids Club.  Please pray that God would heal her body.  Pray that we are able to help her as she transitions to this new diet and lifestyle.  She is very overwhelmed at this point.  Thanks so much for your prayers!!!
