May 29th 1989 at 12:09 am, I was born premature about 3 months. People diagnosed with Vacterl association typically have at least three of there characteristic features. I had 5 out of 6 VACTER, with spina bifida, tethered cord syndrome, Kidney disease stage two, I had a hole in my heart ( repaired valve ), neurogenic bladder ( which I used a catheter to urinate ) every 4 hours for 28 years, Asthma, bronchitis, hypertension. I endured 11 surgery’s over the years to correct my defects. Open heart surgery, removed my left kidney, colostomy bag in/removed, untether cord surgery, Ace procedure ( put a tube from the outside of my body to flush my colon ) , left ovary removed, gallbladder, 3 surgery’s to remove scar tissue.The biggest life changing surgery I had in childhood was my untether cord surgery with spina bifida also the doctor said I would be in a wheelchair after for the rest of my life. My initial reaction I’m not having this surgery. I even ran out the hospital. With the love and support and truly the passion for basketball drove me to fall out my bed tell I got the strength in body to stand in 4 days. The doctors agreed to do physical therapy and 20 years later I’m still playing basketball. I acceded all expectations for my condition, I missed so much school and still graduated 3 months early from high school. I had 2 surgeries during high school that would rob me of my WNBA dreams but I went to a alternative school that I was the only female to play in a all boys league. I would go onto college anyway but that was short lived at 19 the bank would foreclose on the only home I new since 4 and my grandma and dad 50 plus years. This happened around October of 2008 and December of the same year my father passed away from congestive heart failure and diabetes( if I knew what I know now), after this in the same month I would have the ace procedure 2 days before Christmas. Recovery went fast physically but I was emotionally torn apart. fast forward 3 years. I choose to start working and help my grandma now that we had no home. She became ill with the same thing my dad passed away with and I would loose her at 22. I was crushed I never been alone tell then. I spent many days in the hospital after she passed, I would look at the door and wish my beautiful little lady would walk through the door with her hat on. From 22 – 28 I worked and was in and out of the hospital. January of 2015 I would face my last surgery, removal of scar tissue a basic surgery. I went in and they didn’t tell me I had pneumonia and my heart stopped, I lost so much blood. They induced me into a coma and wasnt sure if I was ever going to breath on my own again ( The dreams I had or reality?). I woke up about 2 weeks into the coma and I had to relearn to do everything ( breathing, Walking, Eating ). This same year I returned to college and played college basketball. The following year I was diagnosed with colon cancer after going to every doctor in MN. Scared because I lost my bestfriend at 22 to colon cancer. They told me there wasnt anything they could do. I told my bestfriend and we cried together. The next day he brought me a tea and told me to fast for 21 days, which sparked my healing journey. Today I am a entrepreneur, Business owner, Herbalist, Nutritionist, energy worker but most importantly I AM DISEASE FREE. I no longer take the 28 medications I took my entire life, I no longer have to catharize myself ( I can pee on my own YAY!), I am cancer free.
