    • About Me

      Im the mom of four children and I originally came here to help Ashley through the stillbirth of her daughter Ariana at 19 weeks(and mabye myself a bit) And now a year later she has lost alexander at around 23 weeks.This seems to be due to incompetant cervix. I also have a daughter Mariah who is 12 now with cystic fibrosis and has had a liver transplant, A son with bi polar and another son who seems to be ok for now. I also visit the sexual abuse boards due to my childhood at home and in foster care. (its not always better than home) I am glad to help anyone in any way I can if I can and mabye learn a bit myself.

      I'm so sorry that Ashely had to go through this again. She'll get through it and I'm glad she has you to help her. My heart is breaking for her & I am in tears. I was so hoping for a good outcome. Peace to you both.

    • Close Miscarriage

      My name is Brenda. I came here to see how I could help My daughter Ashley who lost Her Ariana at 19 weeks..A year later she lost her son Alexander at 22 and 1/2 wks.Reading the other posts has helped me to help her and helped me to be able to talk about how I feel.As a mother you want to fix everything for your child and I can't fix this. Its been very difficult and the support I get here really helps.

    • Close Cystic Fibrosis

      My name is Brenda and my daughter Mariah was diagnosed with C.F. when she was 4 months old after. She had a bowel blockage and severe reflux that caused her to lose weight.

      Treatments

      Chest Percussion Working / Worked
      This works if your child will sit there for a long time. It became more difficult to do when she was a toddler.
      Cipro Working / Worked
      Cypro every two weeks alternating with tobi seems to help keep her healthy more. Since shes been on this we have less hospital stays.
      Hypertonic Saline Working / Worked
      This really works great once your child gets the right dosage and gets past the taste.
      Pari PEP Too Soon to Tell
      Pulmozyme Working / Worked
      seems to work shes been on it 6 yrs
      ThAIRapy Vest Working / Worked
      this works great. So much easier than doing hand cpts.
      TOBI Working / Worked
      this works great alternating two weeks with cypro.
    • Open Sexual Abuse

      I was sexually abused from the time I can remember till I was about 16 from My uncle to moms boyfriends to various foster brothers and dads. I am 36 now and have dealt with my own daughters rape and the knowledge that even I who should have known couldn't protect her from the outside world.I try to help her as I am still trying to help myself after all this time.

      Treatments

      Group Therapy Working / Worked
      I worked for many years until my daughter with Cystic fibrosis was born.Working helped keep me from thinking to much.
      Talking Working / Worked
      I find it best to talk with others who have had this experience. When you talk to someone who hasn't they tend to feel sorry for you but don't understand whats happened to you.
