About Me

Burlington, NC, United States
All I can say about me is that I am a survivor of domestic violence. The only good thing that came out of my first marriage is that I have three wonderful sons and that I am now a much stronger person, I have grown into a better person. I am now married to a great man who has adopted my sons, and loves them as his own, as they are his now..he even says that the two younger ones look like him...my life is good. I have a son with autism so that has become a goal in my life, to help raise awareness and find a cure. I also have a son that is Bi-polar, and well all I can say is that autism is easy to deal with compared to Bi-polar disorder, well that is a little blurb about me.

Listen to music as you read!!!!

My hand is healing.........

Sorry, but I have no pictures to post...but I can say that my hand is healing, but looks really gross....We are waiting patiently for school to start, the kids are bored out of there minds...come on Aug 25....A lot has happened lately, my middle child is having a EGD done in the morning, (they are going down in throat into his stomach to see if they can tell why he is getting choked so much). And my oldest went to a cardiologist today for high blood pressure at 15 years of age...and we ended up with some major disturbing news..they said that he has a congenital heart defect, called "bicuspid aortic valve"...well I know from nursing school that he should have a "tricuspid valve"...so this means trips to the cardiologist every 6 months, until he has complications and then they will do surgery to replace the defective valve in his heart. Okay, here is the kicker since it is congential I have to get the other 2 kids screened for this defect. All really remember is being told is that he has mild to moderate aortic insufficiency and heart valve defect...I am speechless and don't know what to think or say at this point.

Sorry to ramble, but I need to make sense of this, but I am not sure that I can...it seems like it is always something.....I just want something good to happen or be told something good once in awhile.....again sorry to vent....peace to everyone.

Don't apologize for venting. This is the place where you can let it out. I'm sorry to hear everything that is going on. I hope things settle down soon. Keep us updated on the heart condition.
