Leading from here - EndocraWHAT?
OK, it appears that the majority of you would like me to continue to BLOG. What that entails and where I go from here, I have yet to determine. Many of you were concerned with the BLOGGING becoming a burden to me and I guess it's not SO much a burden as coming to terms with myself that there just will be some days that I either do not have the time or perhaps the thoughts to record and that will just have to be the way it is. Secondly, I feel VERY strongly that moving forward would also mean moving to a new BLOG in and of itself. This site will be left up for a period of time with a link to the new BLOG and after awhile, this site will be removed. Many people have suggested that I look into publishing some or all of the entries into a inspirational book of some kind. I would like to pursue that, but really have no contacts other than 'Self-publication'. If any of you have any suggestions, please share them with me. I have ALWAYS thought if it was ever published, and saw any type of success, it would be nice to use the profits to put the kids through college. I know Amy would be very happy with that. With that said, I have no drop date as of yet for when the new site will be up or even what it will be called. I will however, continue much in the same light with transparently sharing our lives, our thoughts, our fears and triumphs and as memories meet application, stories of Amy and our life together, will continue to be included. I will continue to write here (on and off) until I am ready with the other site. SO...continue to check back here for updates and news.
Many of you are aware that about a month before Amy passed away, I was diagnosed with type II diabetes. Since then, they started me on one medication (pill) and when that didn't put a sizable dent in my blood sugar, they put me on a second medication (pill). That helped better, but I still couldn't get it below 145. So, they added insulin injection. This has helped, but with the three together, I do have some 'comfort' issues. ANYWAY...today, I went in to see the Endocrinologist and I found out a couple things:
1) My Cholesteral has dropped from 210 to 118
2) I have lost 13 lbs in the last month (yay!)
3) She is putting me on a new medication (Byetta) taking one away and cutting the dose on the other one in half. Over all, it was a good visit.

Dear Vince,
I have known you since you were young,
and am not surprised you turned out to be the man your mother and father intended. A man of integrity who deeply loves his family. I remember your mother used to drive 22 miles (one way) to church-3X's a week- with all 5 of you children. Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall. It didn't matter-when the church doors were open, she was there with all of you! The Lord truly has blessed her efforts, and I wish she could have been here to see the God honoring life all of you lead.
I am thrilled you are continuing to write. What a God given gift you have been given to help others cope through life! What an inspiration you are!
A friend has had 2 books published (about her bout with cancer) through Bethany House here in Minneapolis.
Please e-mail me @ the address below and I will give you her e-mail address. I'm sure she can help you out.
God bless you all!

Vince my Dad is on Byetta and has done very well with and lost 70 pounds and his sugars are great. He did not always like the side effects in the beginning but is doing great with it now.
Have a great day!

Forever God is faithful, Forever God is Strong, Forever he is with us, Forever and ever. Sing Praise, Vince to your health!!!!! I've been praying for you and the kiddos!!! We are so happy to hear that you are going to keep some sort of blog. I have read every entry, and you encourage me! We were in church yesterday morning. Joni's song for your Amy was another piece of her legacy that is being carried on. I cried and realize my tears were of joy, of missing her and imagining her in God's heavenly embrace. She was up there saying AMEN!!!!!! Like she did so many times in church for all of us to hear. Sing Praise!!!!
God Bless you!!!
