Hi, my name is Heather. I am married and a mother to 4 children. I come from a family of nurses but I did not go into nursing (I heard too many horror stories from family) My oldest son experienced permanent brain damage when he was 1 week old, due to multiple days of uncontrollable seizures with no known cause. It was a struggle to find him the right kind of help and assistance to grow and succeed. When the right team of people came along my son absolutely flourished. I developed a new appreciation for the dedication and compassion as well as support his teachers/assistants/case workers provide everyday and will continue to throughout his adulthood. I had the opportunity for a short amount of time to work as a Resident Assistant in a nearby memory care facility. It was the most fulfilling job that I have had but unfortunately was cut short due to an increase in hours in my full time job at the time. If you are still reading, thank you! I apologize for the long backstory, but it brings me into the present. I want to spend my life doing something that I enjoy and hopefully provide a little bit of hope, happiness and stability to everyone that I encounter.
