About Me
I am 36, married, am a very active person. I love to travel, I run as a life choice. I started running to lose weight after my 1st child. I caught the fever! Since then, it has become a lifestyle choice. It makes me sane! We also had a little boy 10 months ago, named Noah..after the devastating loss of our daughter Zoe. A boy that holds the love in our hearts. I have a pretty close family unit, and my husband, Bret's family are very close with us as well. http://www.eleshawrites.com http://www.thedenisonclan.com http://www.noahdenison.com

Interests
I am pursuing my writing career full-steam. It is my passion, and what helps make me sane. Travel, running, cooking, gardening, taking care of Noah. I love hanging out with my friends on the weekends, shopping, having the occasional drink!

Hug
Your so right, and I will talk to her the next time we are together and she's not drinking, AND she is in a decent mood. Sometimes I think she may be bi polar also, after living with mom for so long, the signs are kind of there. Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it!! Love you, Meg xoxoxox

High Five
Sorry, I've actually have been busy, I actually have friends now. YIPPY!!!!
I’m With You
No offer on the book yet, but a request to read the manuscript is a BIG step forward! :) Thus, a call for more prayers so that an offer is made. Since there's loads of prayers that can go around, I'll be getting you in mine as well! What type of book is yours again? By the way, the pics look great! :)
Hug
thank you. I miss her so much

Close Anxiety
I have had some anxiety all my life, but only recognized it about 5 years ago, when it peaked due to a work situation, and I had an anxiety attack. Went on meds, did fine, got off of them, and was fine too..Had my baby in September of 2006, and depression and anxiety came back out of nowhere.
Treatments
- Ativan Working / Worked
- THis works for the IMMEDIATE need.. Doctor doesn't want me on this, however for the immediate long-term.
- Lexapro Working / Worked
- So far so good. Only been 3 days. Heart palps down. Anxiety level down a little bit. I am back on this as of Aug. 23rd.
- Wellbutrin Not Working
- Seems to be working..although I still have some anxiety.
Close Depression
Type: Post Partum DepressionHave had depression on and off since birth and death of my first child 2years ago, and my 2nd child 10 months ago.

Treatments
- Lexapro Working / Worked
- It worked in the past. This time...so far so good.
Open Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML)
My daughter, Zoe had AML @ birth. She passed 2 days later.
Treatments
