Thank you for sharing I know I've felt the same way.  My daughter is five and was diagnosed 4/16.  There were so many signs and I took her to our walkin clinic so many time and they told me she was just growing.  She lost 20lbs in two months and looked like a shadow of herself.  I finally took her to another doctor where she was diagnosed and admitted into the hospital.  I'm going to share your letter and thank you for writing it.
