Sleep Apnea Was a Real Struggle

My mother has suffered from sleep apnea for a long time. When I was a child, no one really knew anything about the condition and it went undiagnosed for a long time. She would fall asleep in the middle of every day activities, such as cooking or even driving. We learned to be on alert at all times to wake her. She received surgery and therapy many years ago and is now much improved. Her medical ID bracelets are always on hand in case something alarming happens, but for the most part, she lives a pretty normal life. It’s nice to see her quality of life so much better than what I remember as a child.

Cabochon Amber and Amethyst 14k Gold Medical ID Alert Bracelet

I was extremely nervous to send my daughter to kindergarten. She was diagnosed with hydrocephalus while I was still pregnant and we spent the next several years of her life in and out of the hospital. By the time she was a year old, she had been through three brain surgeries and had racked up 150,000 dollars in medical care. It was all so worth it, though, as she is now happy and thriving. The only thing that eased my mind was the medical ID bracelets that our doctor gave us. I knew that all her medical information would be easy available in one spot and that her teacher and school nurses would know what to do if she needed anything. I still worry a bit, but I think that’s something that all parent do.
