I Don’t Know How To Do This – My Son Needs Brain Surgery

Feb 2, 2018 Natalie

Natalie

I have a degree in Psychology. I love learning and reading about children, how the mind works, nutrition and health and religion. I have additional education from the Institute of Integrative Nutrition in Health Coaching, Suzuki Violin Teaching, and Kindermusik. I have taught piano and violin privately for years and enjoy working with and babysitting kids. I am also a professional patient. I have Arnold Chiari Malformation, chronic migraines, fibromyalgia and depression to just name a few. We are struggling financially due to my medical issues, and struggling in other areas due to my medical issues. I have a son with high-functioning autism, ADHD, chronic migraines, fibromyalgia, gastroparesis, and mental health struggles. He keeps me super busy helping him finish high school and learning how to be a functional member of society. It seems so much harder now than when I was his age. Life can be hard, but I think there is a lesson in there somewhere, and I am trying to find it. I am also constantly seeking the simple beauties and humor in life and the weird situations we find ourselves in. To learn more about my medical issues visit http://www.medicalsoup.com (coming soon). Happy Reading!
