United Brachial Plexus Network, Inc.

I stayed home to take care of my son Thomas who was a robpi and Left humerous fracture. I felt like I was the only one in the world that could "propperly" care for him. We all need our mommies, especially when we are hurt. I can't help but think that even in difficult times these injuries gave us such an awesome bond as mother and son. I thank God every day for all of the time I've gotten to spend with my son and it is because of the sacrafice me and my husband made that gave our son the quality of life that he has! We can never get these years back. No matter what happens to our jobs, our homes or our lives, we made our sons better. You just have to believe that things will work themselves out. My favorite saying is; When God closes a door he opens a window. Before I had my son I was working as a nurse working crazy hours and in dangerous places. I now work in business and love it! I would have never made a career change if it wasn't for my kids. Our lives are 100% crazier but also 100% happier! Hang in there!
