Well in 2001, I became pregnant with my first child and had a few complications throughout the pregnancy. The morning of March 19,2002, I was prepared to give birth, I had a seizure during the delivery. I was diagnosed with having fibrosis seizures, (which are silent seizures). After giving birth I was in ICU for monitoring.
Well, I became pregnant again at the end of 2002, with my second child. There were not many complications, but I was still having problems, but the doctor nor I still didn’t know what was actually going on. I kept going to doctors, but still hearing that everything was normal.
My third pregnancy went by fast, but I was in and out of the emergency room, due to falling out from seizures. I had to follow the doctors orders and take medications as instructed.
Throughout the years I was still having complications, and the doctors still didn't know what was causing me to be ill.
In 2007, I became pregnant with my last child. I had even more complications after giving birth. I had to receive blood transfusions because I had lost so much blood. I had to change doctors several times. The doctors would not read my charts history from the previous doctors.
In 2011, I finally got a doctor from Mobile, AL, that cared and went the extra mile. On December 5, 2011, my whole life changed. After being sick for years, and not knowing what was wrong, I was diagnosed with lupus.
I cried a lot, because I didn’t know what to do or expect. Unfortunately, I had to tell my kids and family. As a single mother that had four beautiful babies, that I had to live for, I had to pick up the pieces and keep it moving. Although, they are young, they have done their best to try to keep me happy.
