Monitoring Anxiety
I have struggled with anxiety for as long as I can remember. It took me years before I realized what it was and that it was real. My mother also lived with it, but our family did not realize it until after she passed away. It is a condition that can...
Center
My "center" has been off. Throughout the last several weeks I have needed my "center" more than ever and have not had any focus on Whose I am. My little boy had been hospitalized for a month and our family was under some pretty high levels of stress. It was a time...
On the Verge….
For the past five weeks hemophilia has been the focus of our lives. Yes, I have two sons with hemophilia and it is in our lives everyday, but when your son has an active bleed that will not get under control and you are in the hospital, it becomes your life. My...
Overwhelmed
I've been pretty overwhelmed lately…..with my youngest son in the hospital just getting through a "normal" day and making sure my family is intact is a huge undertaking. Here I am, on the evening of about the 25th day (I've lost count) in the hospital as the evening...
When the Lights Go Out
Tonight my sweet "Christian" had some trouble with his infusion of factor and needed a dose of IV Benadryl. Unfortunately he developed a pretty serious headache and was in quite a bit of pain, so he took some Tylenol and we turned off all of the lights and...

Thank you for asking
My "Christian" has been in the hospital for 17 days as of today. It's been a long, extremely difficult haul this time. Family and friends are constantly calling, texting, and "Facebooking" to check on him. But today someone actually asked, "How is...
Mama Bear…Part 2
The day was winding down, day 10 in the hospital, and who walked in the room? The resident and her attending. I was quite stunned to be honest. The day before I spoke with the Patient Advocate for the hospital and explained what happened and wanted...
Mama Bear
I really don't like to "stir up trouble." It's not my nature, but when my children are involved I become a Mama Bear. My "Christian" is having a very difficult hospital stay right now. He has a terrible knee bleed that is causing him to not be able...
The enemy Did Not Win
My youngest son developed a knee bleed on 10/18 and was admitted to the hospital on 10/21. We are still here. Despite the health issues of my son, life goes on. I could easily let everything come to a screeching halt, but I have to make sure that both of my boys...
