Meet Tyler & Zach

Tyler/Zach

         
                           Meet Tyler (top Left) and Zach (top right).Tyler is going to be 11 yrs old and was born with breathing difficulties from a collapsed lung, an only half inflated lung, a paralyzed diaphragm, and has lived passed the two years that the Dr's diagnosed him as having be his max life expectancy. Over the years his breathing problems and birth defects if you will have miraculously cured themselves without intervention of surgeries. the Dr's felt the risks of the surgeries outweighed the benefits and wouldn't operate or re inflate his lung. Through out all of his struggles I never gave up hope on him. I held him a lot and prayed that he would make it and not have a life in pain. He now runs and plays ALMOST like that of an average child his age. He does get out of breath at times and I monitor that along with the school.

                 Zach was my life saver and I honestly mean that. It was only 3 months after I turned 16 yrs old when I discovered that I was pregnant with him. His father left the picture and my mother gave me the ultimatum of get an abortion or get out. Not only was a young and dumb and had been into partying and has since stopped doing that altogether due to finding out I was pregnant I refused to get rid of my child. So I took my purse and left. I walked almost 9 miles until I reached a college where I layed down outside and slept on the bench. My family disowned me for not being married and keeping him ( to which I still don't speak to most of them ), my mother kicked me out, but I wasn't alone I had this baby growing inside of me and somehow I knew I would be OK.

      I dropped out of high school and got emancipated from my mother (declared an adult at age 16), got three jobs, slept house to house and outside on many occasions, got a car and an apartment before delivering my son. I have continued to work and write and live and grow since his birth as well as moved on to having three other children. He saved my life and made me who I am. He is not just my son he is my hero. weighing in at 8 pounds and 12 and a half ounces this little boy changed my entire life for the better!
