    • About Me

      I am a graduate of the University of Georgia in Political Science and Business Economics. I am a photographer in Athens, GA. I have a wonderful husband and beautiful daughter named Zoe. She is 8 months old. On Sept. 22, 2009 she was diagnosed with a brain-stem glioma. I don't even know what to say after that. It is the most scary and devastating thing that I have ever been through.

    • Close Miscarriage

      My husband and I had our first (and hopefully last) miscarriage in the summer of 2007. We are currently pregnant again and due on January 22nd. We are out of the scary 1st trimester and getting excited about the new addition to our family.

      Treatments

      Love Working / Worked
      My husband and my family have been great. I could not have done this without their love and support.
      Research Working / Worked
      I have found that understanding more about what is going on with my body and what can cause a miscarriage has really helped with this horrible experience. It's great to know that over half of all miscarriages are from chromosomal abnormalities that neither myself nor my partner can control. It's also great to know that there are things that I can do in order to make sure that the next pregnancy is a healthy one.
      Writing Working / Worked
      Talking everything out on this website has been great! It has really helped to get all of my feelings and emotions out on paper (or on the computer screen as the case may be).
