I have a small but very important (to me) family.First is my daughter Lee, (known on CC as DixiesMom), her husband Ben and their 2 children, 10 yr old Dominick (Nick) who is ADD (recently diagnosed) but is a joy in most ways, and his little sister Dixie , 5yrs old and just full of herself. Lee has MS and is trying to deal with that, is a daily event in our lives. Ben is a hard-working provider and the joy of Lee's life (as she is his). This is my little family and of course my extended family at PC and CC fills my life with joy and laughter. My name is Donna, and I have spina Bifida among other things that have gone wrong with my body and mind...LOL I am looking forward to reading more about the rest of my family here! Smile

Dear crzynana,

You have certainly had some heavy burdens to carry in your life. And yet you are such a positive and loving person. I admire you for that.

Could you please educate us by providing some information about spina Bifida from your point of view.

MS also, if not too big a task.

Love you! And you are certainly family here!

Your Guru

There are a few different types of spina bifida. There is spina bifida that is through the skin with the spinal cord exposed. There is spina bifida occulta which is hidden under the skin and is less easily diagnosed. Mine is occulta and I was 34 before it was diagnosed. It explained why I had bending problems growing up and through high school. It has affected how long I can remain in a sitting position, how long I can stand in one postion, and how much I can lift. It has led to me having to give up my handicapped son, who I could no longer care for. Spina bifida is an opening in the spinal column, usually a birth defect noticed shortly after birth. There is now surgery that can be done on newborns to correct this problem (sometimes) . Although at my age, there is not much that can be done. Rarely, spina bifida is painful, and that is the type that I have, It causes pain radiating across the lower back and down both legs. Weakness in the lower back and legs is also less common, but noted in my case.

MS is a steadily debilitationg disease that is not easily diagnosed. Brain lesions is usually a sign of MS. MS stands for multiple sclerosis. The type my daughter has is being rediagnosed as we speak, from recurring to ongoing symptoms. With recurring, the syptoms occur avery 3-4 months then go into remission. With ongoing, the symptoms beomce gradually worse over time, eventually leasing to being wheelchair bound. At this point, my daughter is only 29 and is already using a cane for increased mobility. I hope this helps some understand these diseases.

Hello all. I am a very happy mother of 4 beautiful children. Slotmom has post pics of one of my children. I have sent her some other pics to put in here for me. I have no idea how to shrink pics to size enough to post. Anyway Slotmom was kind enough to offer topost them for me. You have now seen Andrew he is 10 months. The other pics that I sent her to post are from our family vacation to Las Vegas. The oldest is Tiffany ( which many of you have met at CC's bingo ) she is 12. next is my son James, and he is 11, and then there is my other daughter, Dakota. She is 8. Oh and one of the pics has my hubby Jim in it. They are a handful but I love them all.

good luck all

I have two sons, Jonathan (22) and Scott (9). Jonathan has moved to Ohio and I don't see much of him anymore. I have joint custody of Scott and love the 3 1/3 days i have with me each week. Although he's developing my sense of humor and that has me scared to death! Scott was named for one of my favorite songs when i was young: "Watching Scotty Grow" by Mac Davis. Scott was born with a narrow aorta and had successful surgery (thank God) to remove the narrow portion of the aorta. We go to Mayo Clinic in Rochester every few years to make sure the artery is growing with Scotty and not narrowing again. There are some photos of Scott posted on the Casino Crush Facebook Group.
