Author Description

Waking up just like an other day, not realizing that your world was about to be changed. That you were going to be tested mentally and physically for an unforeseen amount of time. Putting my faith in God, my family, and most importantly myself. Giving birth, spending time in the ICU, and then inpatient rehab, I was given a second chance at life. Two and half months in, I had to learn basic skills, rebuild my body, all while remaining a mom to my 9 year old and newborn baby. Giving up was not an option. When I returned home, I still had countless hours of physical therapy, occupational therapy, and even pulmonary rehab. I am a believer that you can set your mind to anything and achieve what you desire, and letting go was not one. I had a family I needed to be there for. Life was not easy, and sometimes there are hardships, but it’s how you take those times and push through and persevere. Sharing my story is my outlet, and could be the one that saves the next person or gives them the strength to “Not give up”.
