Why I Chose To Start A Blog

As a teenager, i was told to write a book to tell my story. At the time i thought: No way!

I find that i am the type of person that likes to keep my personal life, just that, personal. But the more i think about it the more i had wished that i could share my story… The more i wished i could talk to someone with similar stories and the more good i could do sharing it rather than keeping it in.

I stared this blog looking to work from home. And i read an incredible blog about a woman that started blogging just to connect to the world, and soon after found herself making a little extra money from just writing.I thought to myself, that is just what i want to do… This inspired me to look into blogging a little more. So i did a little research.. I read about others who started their blog and insisted that the best way to write a blog is to write about something that you are very strong about. My child hood was not something that i enjoy writing about.. But the fact that i have become a strong adult with two beautiful children, a home that finally feels like home, and a wonderful man that makes me feel more love than i ever thought was possible. Makes me want to share my story with the world.

My struggles with child abuse, counseling, being a single mother, trying to help my troubled little boy, and much more.

My goal is to write at least one blog every day. To share my past my present and my goals for the future. Please, if you think that we might have anything in common or you wish to hear my story, follow or comment on my blog.

 

It might be more than just a cold…

When you call the doctor with concerns about your baby… They might have symptoms like a cough, a runny nose, congested, diarrhea, vomiting, and/or a fever.

It seems like you always get the same response…

Make sure they have plenty of warm fluids, put them in the bathroom and run the hot water (the steam helps), use a humidifier, give them nasal drops three times a day (the spray is the best), Tylenol if they have a fever.

It almost makes you not want to call them, its like you know their response even before you call.

A few days ago my 9 month old ran a fever of 102.6. I took her clothes off of her, and gave her some Tylenol. As I held her and tried to sooth her to get her to sleep. I noticed that her skin didn’t seem as hot. A few hours later I checked her temperature, and it was back to normal. Just for her Daddy’s piece of mind we brought her in for a doctors appointment to check on her. It turns out…. It was an ear infection.

Even though it was not necessary to bring her in that night.. I’m glad we bought her in the morning. What we had thought was simply a cold, could have easily gotten worse.

I now feel that… Even though it can get frustrating, calling every time and getting the same answers…. It is important to call, and I will continue to do so every time I am worried about either one of me children.
