Rergardless the circumstances I have faced been challenged with and overcame. I am BLESSED! No one has a Perfect life, butt the Lord God Almighty. My life began on November 14, 197? . when I was 10 months old I fell off my parents bed onto a cermamic tile floor knocking myself unconscious. My dad said I was turning blue by the time I got to the hospital. They then transported me to St.Louis,Childrens Hospital. Where I was observed for 6 hrs unconscious. They were just about to wisk me away to the OR and operate on my brain, when I woke up. Wow can we say "God Moment". I was blessed bc what could have happend if they had gone through with the unneeded brain surgery. I have learned there is a rule of thumb if you do not wake at that 7 hr mark they do surgery to alleviate any kind of undue swelling or pressure building up on your brain. Of course today tehcnology is 1000% better and ppl are not undergoing undue orr unwarranted surgery as guinea pigs today like in the past. A few weeks later my parents noticed something was not right, I get rushed into Childrens oediatric Neurology clinic undergo testing and find out I have a seizure disorder called Epilepsy. I had what was called Complex Partial Seizures! Wow a double whammy !!
So I went thru many different medications which only would work for a time then Id have to switch. I had three near drowings growing up . One at the lake where my uncle had property. Then when I was a teenager I had a seizure at the high school pool where I started going under my dad could not get to me bc he had a leg/foot cramp. Then I started swimming straight to him and grabbed his leg pulled up and dont remember the seizure. It felt like I was just swimming to him except I felt more tired. then when my first born was six months old i fell in shallow water going under I could not raise myself up. I kept yelling take the baby to my mom . Finally she grabbed her I was then able to get a grip of the surface to get myself up. Yeah I was scared as hell then bc I knew I was drowning. It was the scariest feeling iu ever had!. I did not want to die that way. I vowed that day forward to never go in shallow water . Im actually very fearful of shallow water to swim in.
I have enmdured countless surgeries in my life 20 to be exact 6 were kid surgeries like tonsil/adenoids and tubes. But I have had to go thru multiple orthopedic surgeries in my life as well as a few bigger operations. Brain Surgery being the biggest of them all. But surgery is surgery despite how big or little the procedure. I am blessed regardless how many surgeries Ive endured and I kno there are still going to be a few more bc of ongoing problems I still have, but regardless the circumstance I dont blame God. Hes blessed me with the gifyt to still breathe fresh air every morning I awake. My kids are healthy, my parents are well, and I'm blessed with great friends! God is goood all the time, all the time god is good!. Blessings come in all sizes. It is what we do with them that matters. Live like it was your last. Love a lot, Laugh more and embrace life to the fullest!
