My mom!!


My mom is my best friend! She's such an amazing lady and i love her so much! My mom has gone through so much, and yet she has more faith then anybody I know!

For those of you that don't know, my mom had a disease called Distonia. Distonia is kind of like Parkinsons (sp) but not. She also has had six back surgeries, and to pulmonary embolisms(blod clots).

I don't know if i couldn't handle all of that pain, and i don't know if i could go through all of that. She has had so many health problems. She gets sick more than a normal person, and she has a lot of allergies. My mom has to take a ton of medicine that realy suck.

My mom used to go to the University of Utah where there are great doctors. Her doctor there did three surgeries on her and he is such a great doctor. The school district decided to get a new insurance this year, and the new insurace wouldn't cover the University of Utah.

After we found that out then we had to find a new doctor. Our family doctor in price recommended this doctor in provo. I'm no sure exactly where it's at, but this doctor is supposed to be a good doctor.

Well, we went clear to provo three times just for them to tell us the same thing. The first two times we saw the phyicians assisant and he told us that her bones were too soft to do any more surgeries and they didn't know what they were going to do yet to help her. When we saw the actual physician, he told us also the same thing. He also said that he didn't do the surgeries on her, so he doesn't really know what to do. He told us to go back to the doctor at the University of Utah.

I was kind of really mad that the doctor would do that! He knew that the University of Utah wouldn't cover our insurance. I didn't know what to say. If we went to a new doctor then they wouldn't do anything because every time we go to a new doctor they think that she's just a drug addict because of all of the pills that she's on and they don't want to deal with her. Or they're all scared that they're just going to make her worse. She's like a hot potato, which is really sad.

I thought my mom would be just as mad as me but she wasn't. She looked at the positive side. She always looks at the positive side of everything. All she said was "Now i get to keep swimming for physical therapy, eat lots of calcium, pray, and get lots of blessings."

I don't know what i would do without my mom's bright personality. I love her so much. She has so much faith, and she's a huge example to me. That just shows me that if she looks at the positive side to everything then I should too, because my problems don't even come close to her.

I've already said this like 20 times before but I'll say it again, I love her! She is my best friend! I love talking to her, and I love everything about her. She is strong, beautiful, and an amazing mom! She hasn't got to do a lot of thing as a normal mom would, but she is still one amazing mom!

Hey Mel,
I do not know your mom that well, but it sounds like she is an amazing person. I am sure what keeps her head up high and faith so strong is the fact that you are her amazing daughter. We will be praying for your family. Let me know if you ever need anything please!
