You and your family are clearly highly regarded... My mother was diagnosed with Type I diabetes at about the same age as Erica, I believe. She has always been rail thin, and eaten well, so I agree that there is a great deal of randomness involved. I can happily report that she is very well and going strong in her 70's. Given that this challenge lends itself to straightforward energy analysis, I won't be at all surprised to see Erica written up for some impressive accomplishments over the years.Leohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01206203869354551651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-435122859388129935.post-89287081328408306212007-09-12T10:32:00.000-07:002007-09-12T10:32:00.000-07:00We are so very sorry learn about your family's fur...We are so very sorry learn about your family's further travails. Much love and well wishes to Erica from us all. Just last night our local news carried a piece on UCLA immunologist Daniel Kaufman, who has developed a vaccine for Type 1 diabetes. His research may be worth a look. Sending ALL of our best vibes your way.

She was a VERY brave girl in the hospital!<BR/><BR/><BR/>Corin - <BR/><BR/>Thank you very much for your prayers! We really do appreciate it! Yes, there seem to be lots of low-carb things available now, fortunately!<BR/><BR/>Ravi - <BR/><BR/>Frances told me that you and Louisa had your baby! Congratulations!! She's your first, right? As you'll see, your lives will change forever. Even though parenthood can have its tough moments at times, I think most parents will tell you it is the best thing they ever did. I know that's true with me. Again, congratulations, and if "Daddy Duties" in the next few years interfere with any of our planned joint research projects, don't worry about it - after all, you've got to keep your priorities straight (family 1st, then work), which I'm sure you will.Dave Goodwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09351611674334880459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-435122859388129935.post-16899129526687736262007-09-11T09:48:00.000-07:002007-09-11T09:48:00.000-07:00Hi DaveWe do not have words to describe the multip...Hi Dave<BR/><BR/>We do not have words to describe the multiple doses of bad luck you have had with the Gods (or God) recently. People have long pondered the question: "why does God do bad things to good people", or "why do bad things happen to good people" (if you do not believe in God). Of course, there is no satisfactory answer...<BR/><BR/>We are writing with some other bit of news. You may have heard that Louisa and I had a baby girl on Sept 9 at 3.43 am. She was delivered by your wife, who is quite a remarkable woman as I am sure you know. We were wondering what she was doing in the hospital, specially because her partner was on call that night, and was in the hospital too; and her partner had indicated that "Dr. Teng may not be available tonite".<BR/><BR/>And yet, she came and delivered our baby. Now that we know the background, we are even more greatful.<BR/><BR/>Louisa & RaviRVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17598446814779624516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-435122859388129935.post-41123368454870680452007-09-10T21:03:00.000-07:002007-09-10T21:03:00.000-07:00Poor little Erica!

We'll be praying for her as well! <BR/><BR/>Just think, with learning to budget carbs at 10, budgeting money as an adult should be a breeze! ;-) It's nice that there are so many low-carb goodies out now, that she can enjoy :-DCorinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06026335348486675542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-435122859388129935.post-24519068153897877112007-09-10T16:40:00.000-07:002007-09-10T16:40:00.000-07:00We were totally shocked and surprised when you cal...We were totally shocked and surprised when you called us the other night with the news about Erica. She is such a picture of health. With her sweet nature, she will cooperate fully, I'm sure, with the necessary careful diet and treatments.<BR/><BR/>Yes, just one more example of why stem cell research is so badly needed. It sounds like her hospital stay was not traumatic at all. Give her two hugs, one from Grandpa and one from Grandma. She is a very special girl.Verma Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04378134357353328217noreply@blogger.com
