    • About Me

      Hi my name is Heather i live in Charlotte NC.I am recently engaged and a mother of 2 beautiful boys 14 and 17 yrs. I decided to stay in Charlotte after my youngest son was born, because of his cerebral palsy .My oldest is graduating this yr and off to college!!! Yeah for him. I grew up in Kailua Hawaii where my family still lives and try to visit whenever possible. I joined this group for support.I have had many health issues over the last 8 yrs and try to deal with them the best i can.I would love to meet new people and just have the strength and support to know that others go through the same feelings.I have av-node re-entry tachycardia and for the most part ...I have pretty good days...Although my cardiologist says its not dangerous and i wont die from it , , its hard not to be afraid. I pray take my medicine and watch what i eat and drink.. Sorry long winded...I have also had renal cell carcinoma, Raynauds Phenomenon, Barrretts Esophagus, Gerd and the list goes on. I would like to say though that , , , i am so grateful for God my family and for all the wonderful people i have not meet yet!!!!
