    About Me

    I am a mother to a 4 year old little boy. My son was diagnosed with a congenital heart defect when he was 3 years old. He has three holes in his heart and a Coronary artery-left ventricular fistula.

    Interests

    I love being outdoors. Except when it is over 100 degrees here in arizona. That sucks I like to fish, ride bike, read, spend time with my family. I also love doing pottery.

      I get this feeling in the top of my stomach it is tight and I cant breath very well. I have had this problem since I was a teenager. I used to freak out and throw stuff and yell to try and release it. As I have gotten older I do not throw things anymore. Now I try to sit down and breath and work through it. It can make me very moody. But I just take one day at a time.
