    • About Me

      I am a mommy of four children, one which is in heaven. I have a wonderful husnband of almost five years now. We have been through too much in a short period of time as a young couple. I have struggled since the death of my infant son, my angle, Levi. He passed away after many trials and triumphs with his health, before he left, he was a normal, strong, healthy baby boy. I found him already gone in his crib, his death was determined as SIDS.I became pregnant with Zachy about 5 months after Levi's passing and that was incredible but also VERY scary. I recently had a miscarriage as well from a suprise preganancy, losing my unborn baby was indescribably sad and confusing. I'm finally getting passed the anger and pain from the loss of my levi and also the loss of my preganancy. My hope is to heal more and more and help others as I walk through this horrible and beautiful thing we call life.

      I enjoy taking care of my home and my family. I love to dance and secretly, I love to sing! I also enjoy fishing and camping and all of that good hillbilly stuff! School is a huge thing for me as well, I am extending my education to hopefully become a psychologist.

    • Prayer

      From Brentz mom Tuesday

      Just to share, I been doing okay with things, but this last few months have been challenging, I thought of having an affair to help me feel better!!!!!HA, Whew I came to my senses and saw it would destroy me in the end. I guess we all seek fleshy feel good, earthly things to make us "feel good" when in fact we are tearing ourselves down. God Bless You and may you find the same strength that I did......much Christian Love to you Sister.....

      Type: Loss of a Child

      We lost our baby boy, Levi, in march of 2006. The cause of his death was SIDS and I really resent not knowing more. I found him @ naptime and tried to resesitate him, I was alone and I never learned cpr, the operator guided me. I am an absolute wreck. I'm still so lost and angry and helpless. He left behind his twin sister and older brother, who's eight. Levi died at 8 1/2 months old. He was healthy and happy and so strong. I blame myself and am pretty crazy anymore. I just need some hope.

      Treatments

      Crying Somewhat Helpful
      I just cry when I can't hide things anymore, I cry until it hurts enough to make me stop. Alot of my anger releases in those moments and I feel a short repreave from my thoughts.
      Grief Counseling Too Soon to Tell
      It's hard to talk to anyone who doesn't get it. I see a guy who tries really hard though. He reminds me that the whole world isn't heartless. We'll see.
      Prayer Too Soon to Tell
      I was close to God before Levi died, that's a war with me right now. i know that I need God but I feel pretty betrayed. When I pray, ifeel very disconected.
    • Close Craniosynostosis & Plagiocephaly

      My little baby,Levi,was born with craniosynostosis.His suchers had fused inutero and were nearly completely fused by birth from front to back on his head.It was very scary.He had surgery at 3 1/2 months old,the docs took a strip of his skull out,from front to back to allow the room for his brain to grow proportionately.Levi ahd to have a blood transfusion because of his loss of blood but after that,he recovered exceptionally and was perfect until his death of SIDS at 8 1/2 mnths March 2006.

      Treatments

      Prayer Working / Worked
      I had to let my baby go and leave God in control. Doctors are great but God is God. Seeing him after the surgery was terrifying and all I could do was pray.
    • Open Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS)
      : I have lost a child to SIDS

      My Levi was born a twin to his big sister Lacey June 19, 05,Father's day.Levi had problems to start with but recovered from them with such amazing strength.He was my angel,i held on to him so tightly.Before he died,he was healthy, big and strong. I had finally let my gaurd down with him and i guess that was when God decided to take him home.I feel crazy most of the time about losing him.I know that as a parent,I failed. SIDS was his cause of his death,but,to me,they just didn't know how he died

      Treatments

      Prayer Working / Worked
      um,I have just started tp pray again or really aknowledge that God listens still.I'm a mess still but I think that I'm getting a little better because of prayer.
    • Open Twins, Triplets & More

      I had twins in 2005, a boy and a girl, Levi and Lacey. Lacey weighed 7 1/2 lbs and Levi weighed 71/4 lbs. Icarried them to 36 weeks and they were born June 19th, 2005, Father's Day. We lost our boy last March to SIDS but I still consider myself a mother to twins.

      Treatments

      Relaxation Working / Worked
      Babies can be demanding, no matter how much we love them, we're only human. It is harder with two, a true blessing, but harder, especially when their first born.
    • Open Anxiety

      i was been diagnosed with apnic attacks soon after my son died last year. They usually happen at night, in my sleep or right before. I feel detached from myself, confused, my heart is racing and i'm terrified that i'm going to die. My attacks can last hours and i can not sleep when i am having one. They never just go away, i have to take medication to subside them

      Treatments

      Ativan Working / Worked
      Ativan is the only thing besides xanax that has worked. but, I only use it at night or when i can't bring myself level when my stress level is unmanageable. It makes me sleepy at night and that helps my sleeping problems as well.
      Positive Thinking Working / Worked
      I think about the things in my life that are okay, stable, good, reliable.
      Xanax Working / Worked
      xanax worked but when i went to sleep, I was dang near unconcious. I have babies so it was a little much for my circumstance.
    • Open Miscarriage

      I found out that I was pregnant about a month ago. I was only 6 weeks pregnant, but I just felt it. As a mother, we tend to. I lost the pregnancy 4 days after I had my first ultrasound.....

      Treatments

      Grief Counseling Working / Worked
      sometimes talking about it makes it harder to let go of.....
      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
