      Hmmmm. Perhaps I will add something here. I love quilting, making music, flute, guitar and I sing in the choir. I enjoy writing, am 165 pages into a book I am writing. But sadly, I am not really any good at any of this.

    • Close Neurofibromatosis

      I was diagnosed with NF1 after the birth of my second child. I aways had cafe ole spots and freckles, but did not develope tumors until pregnant with my second child. My two middle children have the gene, oldest and youngest escaped. I am the first known generation in my family to carry the gene. I now have many small tumors on my face, neck and torso.

      Did not work at all.

      My youngest daughter was born with a cleft in her soft palate. This was repaired by surgery and she is now problem free and a beautiful young lady.
