I'm so excited to start sharing knowledge I have learned throughout the years! I enjoy having conversations about a lot of different things which include Valley Fever, Pulmonary Fibrosis, Hemp & it's vast uses that is healthy to our environment and there are countless others. More importantly I love to gain knowledge from others!! Without gaining knowledge & the unwillingness to share that knowledge makes a person vulnerable to being misled by our leaders & those we surround ourselves in our daily lives, robbed of dignity, suppressed, held down on the totem pole and turns us into mindless robots.
But my biggest passion in life at this time is sharing with others my daughter's life story! In 2011 while first time pregnant at 22 weeks, she was hospitalized with Acute Respiratory Failure. She was diagnosed with Disseminated Valley Fever "Coccidioidomycosis", Pulmonary Fibrosis & a host of other illnesses. At 25 weeks pregnant she had emergency c-section and delivered a 1lb 10oz baby boy, Eli Keith! She had a host of complications and my first grandchild was fighting for his life at Stanford which is about 90 miles away from the hospital Cheyenne was at. All of the doctors say she is a miracle to be living, they simply did not have any hope of her surviving and they also included Eli. However, God is a wonderful being and he sent me 2 miracles. But I only begged for 1 and it was to save my daughter's life so she may experience what it's like to me a mom! He sent that miracle and he gave us the second one, Eli Keith living with lots of love from his mommy & family!!!
Within my daughter's life story is another story of the medical profession we experienced in 2011 and continuing. It's not so much as a story but cold hard facts about the lack of knowledge the medical profession has regarding this deadly disease, Valley Fever Coccidioidomycosis. If our medical professionals don't know about VF then the public doesn't know about it. I myself didn't know anything about VF but only heard the name a few times. Months of progressive sickness went by before Cheyenne got the correct diagnosis and we are still having issues with doctors not knowing about VF & getting the emergency medical testing & treatment done for her. This has brought my daughter to near death twice! Therefore it is my life passion to pass on the knowledge I've been gaining on to others so they may know how best to approach this deadly disease. Valley Fever Coccidioidomycosis kills more people per year than the West Nile Virus yet VF doesn't get the funding to find treatments and a vaccine to help prevent it!
I look forward to sharing all my mind's babblings with all who want to listen and also gaining knowledge from those who want to pass it on!!!
