Push for your dreams

Life is too short to be anything but happy.  I believe in happiness, and I believe in love and laughter and creating a beautiful life of all things that you've ever dreamed of.  I believe in fairytales and magic and the imagination of an innocent child.

I imagined my life full of love and happiness and raising beautiful, healthy, strong children.  I imagined myself living in a beautiful home with a beautiful yard and becoming a writer. 

Sometimes our lives don't turn into the fairytale we imagine its going to be but it turns into something so much better and so much more beautiful.  My children are so amazing and have taught me what it means to be strong, how it feels to love someone more than life itself and how precious time is and how fast the days go by. 

I never became a writer but everything else came true. I hope to someday be a motivational speaker. I want to share with the world everything ive overcome.  I am proud of myself for fighting through dystonia and changing my life.  I fight so hard to help Cody overcome his obstacles as well. 

I believe you can be anything you want to be.  I'm trying so hard to push for my dreams, to succeed in something I've always wanted.  I want my children to know that they can be anything they want to be when they grow up and there is nothing in the world that will stop them from that. 

Cody has taught me this, with his inability to communicate, he still pushes for what he wants.  He socializes and succeeds.  He overcomes obstacles that would knock others off their feet.  His strength inspires me to be something so much more. 

Hailey has taught me about love and patience and understanding. She is a beautiful little girl who is going to go so far in life. She wants to be a vet when she grows up and I have no doubt that's exactly what she will do.

In the end, happiness and strength will get you through the day. Hold your head high and push for your dreams, you can be ANYTHING you want to be!

When Pineapple socks aren’t enough

I wake up in the morning, get my kids ready for school, make my husband and I a cup of coffee and take three small pills. When you look at them you’d never imagine what they could do to your body but right from the beginning I was willing to do it. No matter what it took, I would do it. Little did I know, these pills would just be another part of the sadness. I continue on my day, limiting caffeine, watching what I eat and gaining a pound a minute. Before bed, Jim injects more medication into my buttocks. These medications are supposed to be getting my body ready to have a baby but for some reason this small thing that I want so badly is so hard to achieve. Since the day I met Jim, we’ve wanted a baby. We’ve picked out names, first outfits, and ways we want to tell our parents the news. It’s been 4 years since we agreed we wanted to start trying and we still don’t have it. Just before Covid hit, we decided to see a fertility specialist to help us achieve pregnancy. We tracked my cyc...

update on Dystonia and Family

I have been doing as well as could be expected.  I am back in Florida so it's nice to be with Ryan.  Although I am still upset about the whole thing, I am trying hard to smile and not let it show.  The spasms have returned and have gotten worse since the DBS was removed.  When I suck on a piece of candy or ice, my throat tightens up.  It's very scary but Im hoping it won't get any worse.  My neck also twitches sometimes and my foot spasms have come back.  My hand is curled in but if I think about it, I can straighten my wrist (not my fingers).  The most upsetting part is that I was just looking at pictures of myself the day after DBS and I had a huge smile on my face because I had made it through and then a couple weeks later there was a picture of my hand open.  I had never been so excited as I was that day.  I had so much in my head that I wanted to do now that I could use my hand and most of it involved Hailey.  Hailey helped me ...

Pregnant With Dystonia

Well, hello there and welcome to my blog. These last couple months have been stressful, exciting, painful, happy and scary. I'm working on keeping these feelings positive! A couple of years ago I was diagnosed with Dystonia. My left hand has curled into a fist and I can no longer use my fingers. My wrist is permanantly stuck in a spasm and I now wear a brace 24/7. I get daily spasms in my feet and sometimes its hard to walk because I don't know when it is going to happen. I have muscle spasms in my back quite often and occassionally in my neck and jaw. On top of the dystonia, I have multi-directional instability in both of my shoulders, causing them to dislocate very frequently. In February, 2010 I took a home pregnancy test and it was positive! It was the greatest thing that has ever happened to me. Although my boyfriend and I were a little nervous, we smiled and started to plan our life together with our baby that was on the way. Since then, I haven't been able ...
