Dear Phil,
I'm praying for John and Vicki.
I always say ouch when I attempt to get blood. I absolutely hate
taking my blood sugar. I'm suppose to take it 3 times a day, and
I'mnot doing that. I'm lucky if I take it once a day.
I'm praying big time.
I know what Vicki is going through.
Love,
Pat Ferguson
