This is my story:

My angel Warrior Eryn was born with very weak muscles. She spent a lot of time in the hospital as an infant and toddler. This prompted me to become a nurse. I work as both a pediatric and neonatal nurse to help parents like me and children like mine. I gained a new perspective on people with different abilities and grew so much from being Eryn’s mom.

I had a foot surgery in 2018 that caused significant nerve damage and now have CRPS as a result. But, even so, I don’t let that hold me back.
