About Me	Things have been rough in my life and I'm still having trouble... But I am blessed with a wonderful husband who cares, and a beautiful daughter who can't live without me. I am old enough to drink, legally... Born and Raised in San Antonio. I met Ray... I had never been with anyone with that many tattoo's or that many stories of his 'bad boy' days. I fell in love with him...got pregnant. We were married in our favorite park...just the three of us; him, me, and the reverand. Started having difficulties with the pregnancy at 3 months, and at 5 1/2 months, or 25/40 weeks, a clot lodged in the umbilical cord, and my daughter was technically dead for 72 seconds. She spent the first 4 months of her life in the Neonatal Intansive Care Unit in Forth Worth's 2nd best hospital...a town I had never been in.

Testing continues...Monday July 26, 2010 I recieved a lumbar puncture to cross infection off the list of possibilities...I got a spinal headache and got another needle in my back to make a 'blood patch' to correct the headache...I can't find ANY comfortable possitions, 'comfortable' does not exist in my life right now... haven't gotten the results yet. The high dosage of Lyrica is making me loopy and able to pass out in the middle of a conversation...but my hands don't crinckle up and hurt any more. Until my next Dr. appointment, I'm just trying to figure out who I am now, and how I'm gonna get it. I want to provide a comfortable home for my children, and the ability to pay for college...but I still don't quite know what I want to be when I grow up. I'm looking for questions to probe thoughts of who I am, I would like help in dealing with the pain of my disease, and I'm trying to be an awsome wife and mother! I want to make and keep both of them happy and proud. I am losing strength, and I need help. I am tired of trying to explain in 50 different phone calls of what's going on. I just want...(read more)
