Mary's Story
Life
Well, let's see... I have a wonderful husband and 2 terrific and intelligent children. My husband and I have lived in 9 different homes together in 7 different cities all over Michigan. That averages out to a different house every 2 years for us ( Ahh!!). We also have 3 cats (Spooky, Muffin, and Cosmo) and 2 dogs (Mona and Molly). We are foster parents through DHS and have had 4 little ones so far-- a 2-month-old girl whom we had for 7 1/2 months , an 11-month-old boy for a little over 3 months, a 1-year old girl for 2 months, and right now we have a 10-year old girl.

I had the miller-fisher type, which affects the eyes, so I couldn't even watch t.v. in the hospital. I have residual nerve damage and numbness in many parts of my body.

Well, I would love to hear from any of you that remembers me. Just drop me an e-mail and I'll be glad to send you one back. Caio for now!!
