My mom has a rare blood disorder that doesn’t allow her body to produce a certain antibody to fight off infection. Therefore she spends about 2 hours a day doing blood transfusions – every day!!!! Because, of this disorder she is unable to be given any other medications for her severe rheumatoid arthritis, MS, and lupus. She survives on a cocktail of pain meds that barely help. Despite her illnesses, she has committed her life to raising 5 of us kids – I know right? Trying to populate Canada I guess haha.
I am the youngest at 19. She is so wonderful, and I admire her strength and optimism greatly! She does so much for so many even though she’s always in such pain – driving me to university, or growing vegetables to give to neighbours and homeless shelters (she rents a plot from the city. NO Idea how she manages this big garden, it’s hard on her – but she finds it therapeutic!)
