Life

It's been a while. I kinda missed the old blog.... well kinda:) Time keeps racing by, we keep getting older. Shane is working and planning on applying to PA school in the near future and I just finished school for medical assisting. The girls are doing great, growing up too fast. Summer flew by. seriously why does summer go so fast but winter just freaking drags on? I am happy it's Fall though I LOVE fall it's the happiest time of the year.. It's Hoodie season!

I have lost about 13 pounds in last two months, which I am pretty dang excited about. Just from working out and eating healthier. No crazy pills or fad diets. I have more to lose but it's a great start! So I will probably start posting more about my weight loss journey. Join me if you'd like:)

Happy First Day of Fall Y'all!

My Girls Genetic Disorder Tyrosinemia Type 2

Type II tyrosinemia is caused by a deficiency of the enzyme tyrosine aminotransferase encoded by the gene TAT. Tyrosine aminotransferase is the first in a series of five enzymes that converts tyrosine to smaller molecules, which are excreted by the kidneys or used in reactions that produce energy. This form of the disorder can affect the eyes, skin, and mental development. Symptoms often begin in early childhood and include excessive tearing, abnormal sensitivity to light (photophobia), eye pain and redness, and painful skin lesions on the palms and soles. About half of individuals with type II tyrosinemia are also mentally retarded. Type II tyrosinemia occurs in fewer than 1 in 250,000 individuals.
Dr Longo informed us that there are less that 100 cases of tyrosinemia type 2 reported worldwide. I have four of them.. I am so thankful that Presley was diagnosed when she was (at 13months) and that Sam, Dylann and Hadley were diagnosed at birth. They are on a low-protein diet and are doing great!!
