I'm a survivor!
I'm a 21 (soon to be 22) year old survivor of Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia. I've had my health issues that have stemmed from it, but with the help of my family and friends, and of course my amazing doctors, I've gotten through it all. I have a bit of a morbid sense of humor, but its a sense of humor that had helped me cope with everything.
In high school I was active on a Patient Advisory Board at my local Children's Hospital, and through that board positive changes have been made to help with the stay of both patients and loved ones.
Right now I'm in college for web design, and manage many media-related things at my church. I have an amazing boyfriend of almost two years and its in part because of him that I am here. I'm trying to connect with other womon survivors who have children of their own, and ask them questions, such as "What were the risks involved?"
I really enjoy meeting new people
