    About Me

    I'm a stay-at-home mom to two wonderful little boys. I just recently started to attend church and have been finding that to be very rewarding and hoping to get more involved in that.

    • Close Pheochromocytoma

      I was diagnosed with Pheochromocytoma in September of 2002 after I gave birth to a premature baby due to hypertension caused by my pheos. Unfortunately my daughter did not survive but she was my angel. I would not have known about my tumors if it had not been for my pregnancy. At the time little was known about pheos. I had surgery in January 2003 to remove the 5 pheos I had within my abdominal aorta. (A rarer type of pheochromocytoma). Now no symptoms and I have a healthy one year old son.

      Treatments

      Surgery Working / Worked
      Before surgery I suffered for years with extreme headaches, rapid heartbeats, heat intolerance. Since surgery I have no more symptoms.
    • Close Parenting Newborns & Infants (0-1)

      I had my second baby in October 2007. He is very big and healthy and handsome. :)

      Treatments

      Breast Feeding Working / Worked
      I breastfeed and provide formula when I'm not home or someone else is taking care of him. He seems to have had no nipple confusion and loves both bottle and breast.
    • Open Parenting Toddlers (1-3)

      I have a wonderful little 2 year old. He's just now getting into those "terrible twos" but overall he's a great kid. He also has a new baby brother and has been excellent with him.
