TRUSSVILLE A Trussville family is asking for the community’s help after an 11-month-old boy was diagnosed with type I diabetes.
Ashley and Cliff Murphy were shocked to find out about the illness when they took their son Myles to the emergency room after realizing something was wrong. Ashley Murphy said her son was experiencing labored breathing but when they got to the hospital, his oxygen levels were fine. After more tests, it was discovered the child was in severe diabetic ketoacidosis.
“We were shocked since it is rare at his age,” said Ashley Murphy. “Prior to his diagnosis, I had no idea just how serious type I diabetes is.”
Creepin was first to the front and maintained his lead to the wire on a special Tuesday evening (Dec. 22) program at Red Shores Racetrack and Casino at the Charlottetown Driving Park.
Dowling wasted no time sending his charge to the lead in the $2,300 featured pace and laid down splits of :28.4, :59.1 and 1:29.4 over a sloppy track rated off five seconds. Winter Blast came calling in the stretch drive but had to settle for second as Creepin held on to win in 2:00.4. Third went to Sports Royalty. Driver David Dowling trains Creepin for owners James Quinn of York, Jim Quinn of Vernon Bridge and Carl Peterson of Hunter River.
