Lakisha’s Story

Site created on November 25, 2018

Welcome to our CaringBridge website. We are using it to keep family and friends updated in one place. We appreciate your support and words of hope and encouragement. Thank you for visiting. This is my journey I'm growing in so many ways it's alomst scary. As you already know that I'm a single disabled mother  of 3 children 2 of which are special needs. I was diagnosed with primary sclerosing cholangitis at the age of 24. Although it's an auto immune disease I still thought I had some more years until I would have any problems. That wasn't the case the disease snuck up on me so aggressively my life literally changed for me over a matter of days .  My family has been extremely helpful even cousins I wasn't that close with help me build a relationship, the disease didn't scare them off they're still by my side.I love them always for that!!!!!! I'm doing this for people to be aware of things like this and never think it's just something you can just push to the side this is serious and life threating. Discipline, positive positioning and all becoming an optimistic person is the best way to deal with it! And together with love you will have just that!
