Who are we?� Well I am 24 years old, I have 3 darling children and I am a student at a local collage.� Last year I decided to go back to school so that I will be able to provide for my little ones.� I'm sure that everything will be hard for a few years, but I can not get a job good enough to support all of us without a collage edcuation.�

I am divorced well almost. I will not go into details as to why my marriage broke up.� It is pointless all it would do is point fingers and all the things that go with broken marrages

My oldest is my only daughter.� She is 7 and has Marfan's Syndrome.� She also has a severe hearing loss.� She has dislocated lenses from the Marfans and will eventually need both of her lenses removed or replaced.� Other than that she is a regular 7-year-old kid.

The only difference is that she has to take it easy when she is running around with her friends.� As her mom I have the responsiabilty of making sure that she does take it easy.� Have you ever tried to make a kid take it easy?� It only works about 2% of the time.� One of these days she will listen, or at least realize the importance of this.� Until then I just have to do my best.

My oldest boy is 5.� Talk about active, I can't believe that he has not broken any arms or legs yet.� He has had some strange situations though.� A couple of weeks before he turned two-years-old he was attacked by a dog and had to have 11 stitches on his face.� When he was 14 months he had to have an emergency hernia opperation.� He has had glasses since he was 15 months.� and last year he had shingles.� Things are never boaring with kids around.�

Fortunatly he has not had any major situations in the last year.� I hope that does not mean that there is something on its way.� As far as Marfan's goes we are not sure if he has it or not.� We think that he probably does but he won't be tested until later this month.

That leaves the baby.� Accually he is almost 2 now, but he is still the baby.� He also has Hearing Loss and needs hearing aids.� Although he also won't be tested until later this month we are sure that he also has Marfan's.� He has so many of the signs that there is little question in our minds that he has it.�

He is such a sweet heart.� He is always happy and a joy to all of us including his brother and sister.� Of course he has his moments, all two-year-olds do.� Fortunatly his happy times more than make up for it.�

Well that is my family a house full of happy tall Marfan Christians.� Like most people we take things one day at a time.� We trust that from day to day no matter what happens we can rely on each other and on God.� As long as we are all together and God is with us we can face anything that we have to.� Of course we would rather not face too much.� However, whatever we have to face we will.
