I am a wife and the mother of two children, living and most days thriving with chronic illnesses. My daughter and I have Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) and Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (EDS). My daughter also suffers from Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome (SMAS) and Nutcracker Syndrome. My son has Bipolar Disorder, and all three of us battle migraines. To say I know my way around a doctor's office or our local hospitals would be an understatement. My mantra is, always hope for the best, prepare for the worst and look for the silver lining in every cloud. I am passionate about my family and writing. For me, a day without writing is like a day without sunshine; writing about our journey through these illnesses has been a cathartic outlet.
