    • About Me

      Well I am a 26 year old separated mother of a 6 year old son with hydrocephalus. He was shunted at almost 1 year old. He also has Cerebral Palsy as well and CVI. I love reading and writing and doing whatever I can with him. He can walk but has balance issues and wears DAFO's on both legs. When he was born he had a grade IV bleed. If you want to know anything else feel free to ask. I am currently unemployed which I can't stand. I hope everyone has a great day
