Life

I started to blog in the past but then life just got in the way. I know so cliche. Well now I am back and this time I know that I can do this successfully.

A little about me and my family. I am a stay at home mom. I have a husband, who was diagnoised with Bipolar Disorder, I have two toddler sons. My youngest was born with VATERS Association.

V stands for vertebrae, which are the bones of the spinal column.
A stands for imperforate anus or anal atresia, or an anus that does not open to the outside of the body.
C is added to the acronym to denote cardiac anomalies.
TE stands for tracheoesophageal fistula, which is a persistent connection between the trachea (the windpipe) and the esophagus (the feeding tube).
R stands for renal or kidney anomalies.

My son had to undergo 4 surgeries in the first six months of his life. He had a colostomy and then a colostomy reversal with in those 4 surgeries. Today he is doing well. We had table food issues where he would not eat table food.... and now he does not stop!!!

My marriage has been on the line several times and my husband and I have almost seperated. Dealing with his Biplor Disorder and my Depression was difficult, among the other life stressors.

We are still together and each day life gets better. I have decided to go the holistic route to improve my state of mind and my body. This is my journey to become a healthy mommy: for myself, my husband, and my kids.
