My oldest is Charley and she is 6 and my crazy wonderful artsy girl.
My middle child is Nikki and she is 5 and she is my crazy little warrior who battles and invisible illness called Chiari Malformation (ill tell you about that a little later).
My youngest child is Paisley who is only 2 years old and she is my crazy happy smiling wonderful baby girl.
I am originally from Baltimore Maryland have recently moved to Metro Detroit.
I love my life and we have a lot of ups and downs in this crazy world that I call mothering.
No one could tell me that I would go through so much with 3 kids and be more in love with them at every step.
I love my life and wouldn't change it for the world except a condition called Chiari Malformation.
Told you I would get to this part didn't I?
So in March 2013 my 5 yr old Nikki was ordered for an MRI for some issues she was having and on that MRI they found a condition called Chiari Malformation.
Its a condition that makes the cerebellum part of the brain hang below the foramen magnum and causes headaches, trouble swallowing, balance issues, general pain, memory issues, and a slew of other problems that are scary for any parent to watch their child go through.
In a short couple weeks on August 14 2013 my daughter will have a decompression surgery to correct the Chiari.
Please be aware that this is a life long condition my beautiful daughter will live with forever. This surgery is more of a bandaid so symptoms don't progress.
I cant tell you how much I love my kids and this blog is a way to not only tell you about myself and my life as a mother but to make you aware of this condition that my daughter has.
I believe awareness is the best cure for any disease. Its brings about more funding, which in turns brings about more research and then more support from the communities.
So thank you for visiting my blog and I hope you enjoy reading about me and my 3 crazy girls and the condition called Chiari Malformation!
Much Love!
