Guest guest Posted June 20, 2004 Report Share Posted June 20, 2004 - Welcome to the group! I am , Crohns, Anemia, Spondiloarthritis also RLS, isn't that a pain, I lose so much sleep due to that. They have me on Clonazepam, what do you take for it?Anyway, My dh is a pastor and we are also in NW Ohio, we have three kids Trevor Abbey and Dylan, who just happen to be triplets. They are serious miracles. I shouldn't have been able to get pregnant as sick as I was at the time, on top of that God gave me 3 at once. Im not to have any more though because after they were born I became sick - unto death. My story and pics of the kids are on my website listed below if you ever want to look. And welcome again to the group. Oh, to see pics of the kids, the password is tadpoles.Blessings,Wife to DaveMom to Trevor Abbey and Dylanweb - http://www.geocities.com/tadmom03/djtad--- On Sun 06/20, Beck Family < groups4thegirls@... > wrote:From: Beck Family [mailto: groups4thegirls@...] Date: Sun, 20 Jun 2004 08:59:44 -0400Subject: Re: ~*Welcome new member *~Hello Helen, Let's see the I am from Northeast Ohio!

We have adopted 3 children: Paige 8, Katianne 6, Hannah 3. We are foster parents to Zachary 6, and Tabatha 15. In late 2002, we decided that it was too risky for me to have a baby because of the Guillain Barre Syndrome so we opted to use a surrogate and we were successful. However, about 5 months into the pregnancy with our incredible surrogate mother, I found out that I was pregnant. We didn't get our hopes up because I had many miscarriages in the past. On August 15, 2003 Elijah was born and on November 2, 2003, Abby came into this world about 6 weeks early but very perfect! How do I cope: Paige, , Hannah, Zachary, Elijah, Abby, Tabatha and most importantly Mitch! They are my earth angels. Our daughter Paige is also chronically ill so together we face the day to day battles of diseases and disorders. Besides my husband, Paige is my best friend. She and I have this odd type of connection she can tell me when something is wrong with me before I even start to feel sick. The kind of wrong with me that requires hospitalizations usually. She's saved my life on a few occasions. We live in a 6 bedroom home in a quiet neighborhood. The upkeep of the inside of the home can be a little much for me but we have wonderful friends, family and neighbors that help with cleaning etc. However, only I wash our underwear! LOL My husband and I believe in living life to its fullest and if an opportunity is available for one of our children we try to "hop on it" At the end of May this year, we took Paige and Tabatha to see the American Idol final show and results show in person. Not only was this an amazing experience for the children but for us too. Paige wore her T-shirt that said I have Lupus - Hug me! and a button that said Adoption saved my life. People stopped her and asked her what lupus was and she would explain it all to them. Then the great big hug from the person came. Including .. a Abdul and Clay Aiken. We really had a great time. I am starting to boast and ramble so I am going to put my fingers to rest here. We need to get moving and go to the grocery store.
