Creative Nurse with a Travel Bug
Have toothbrush will travel. I'm the mother of a 26 week 6 day week old "super-preemie" who was born from oligohydramnios (my water broke at 19wk 5 days). He has hydrocephalus, a VP shunt, cerebral palsy and autism. I am a Canadian Registered Nurse. I currently play in the SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism) as part of my extra-curricular activites. I also get into a lot of other things...email contact vesta_lr@hotmail.com "Whenever I am most myself, a baking cake welled up beyond its pan is what I am, anchored yet uncontained." - Molly Peacock's Birthday Cake
