As much as you plan for life never happens as you expected it. It's always better to make do with what you have.
This morning while I was feeding my circus I realized but I have a wonderful life. Of course I realize this before but it's nice to have that epiphany on a day like today. Exhausted from a stomach virus but having enough beauty sleep to look like a princess, my two-year-old decided do you have her normal I don't want anything stage. So I text her at least three different meals and decided that I would give her anything that she wanted and save the rest for dinner. She, being the hard headed little girl that she is, decided that she wanted to eat pudding. Having very little energy this morning I decided that that is a fight that I would not push to win.
Can I write this blog today not only to decompose myself after a lifetime of learning Adventures and sporadic Avalanches of happiness but to also make sure the no other mom has to go through what I went through.
And tell you a little bit about myself, about four years ago I was a single mom with only one kid but in 2014 I married the love of my life. He being a divorcee was a father two two wonderful kids himself, one boy and one girl whom is the same age as my daughter.

Before I became a married Mama of four wonderful kids, I went through a lifetime of learning Adventures. From finding out that I was pregnant to then learning how to put a diaper on a baby, it all is chalked up as being a mother.
My first born was it healthy little baby up until the age of 4. Then she just kept getting sick and they couldn't figure out why. I kept bringing her back and forth to the doctors telling them that she had some kind of infection something was wrong and I just kept getting the run around because me being a single young mom. Not everyone thinks that young moms know what they're talking about. When you're a first time mother your belief to be a worry wart. You know the kind that bring their child in for every bruise and every little bitty cut. Now don't get me wrong I'm not saying that there is anything wrong with those parents because I am one of those parents but aren't we all.
Anyway, on December of 2011 I took my daughter to the doctors where they diagnosed her with a cold and told me to give her honey to make her feel better. Now yes I do believe that honey can help a cough but when a child has had the same thing for months then there is something wrong with her. We were supposed to go to Disney in December but we wanted up prosp owning it because of her being sick. In January of 2012 we decided to go to Disney but we should have stayed home. Kyla being still sick and getting fever round clock I brought her back to the doctors before the trip. The doctor told me to give her vomit medicine so she'll keep down the ibuprofen and tylenol that I was giving her.
No I know I should have canceled the trip but there's only so many times that you can postpone a trip to Disney. Well we went to Disney and she was miserable. We left early from our trip and Disney and got home around midnight the night before she was to go back to school. I kept checking her fever throughout the night and it would not break. At one point it went up to 104.5 which is when I decided to take her to the Hospital.

In 2012 my daughter was diagnosed with acute Pyelonephritis. Not even a month after that my daughter had her first Grandmal seizure. And while waiting to seek treatment for that she had another one. 2012 was a big year for me to learn all about medical history. It was also a big year for me to learn to keep a record of the events that happen when your child is sick.
I've learned a lot since 2012 and we are still fighting my daughter's kidney problems. And the beginning of this year she was hospitalized again. And the beginning of July my daughter went through surgery to help her problem. Through lots of prayers and all fingers being crossed, we think we have won this battle. Now I know that there are more worst stories out there but for a mom and seeing her daughter in the hospital, this is the worst story in her life.

No I didn't touch base on the epilepsy, but 4 years my daughter was on medicine for bladder reflux, epilepsy, and for diverticulitis. We have learned that my daughter is now being tested for ADHD. For four years of my daughter's room. She was on medicine and since we've taken her off we have noticed a change in her her attention span. This is a tough battle or a mom that thought she won her battle.
I hope that the doctors can help her would doing better in school. I know she is a good kid but she's just been given the rough end of the stick at such a young age.
She's got a great attitude towards life and all I can do is a applaud her and hope that I become like her. I love you from the bottom of my heart.
