| Aerial's Survivor Story |
| I was
born with Necrotizing Fasciitis. When I was first born, it only affected
my tongue and chin. I had my first surgery at the young age of 18 months.
Ever since I have had surgeries on and off through out my whole life trying
to keep the growth of the tumors under control. As of today, November
26, 2002, I am 16 years of age. Lately my physicians have been discovering
new tumors. I now have tumors in my tongue, my chin, my brain, my abdomen,
and a root tumor in my back, which is staying stable.
My experience with NF has been very interesting. I have had many different experiences that I will never forget. I'm not sure if I received NF from a family member or not because my biological father ran away from my mom before I was born. Since I have been in school many teenagers and younger children laugh at me and call me names because of this condition. I understand this because they know nothing of this condition. I think that NF should be recognized more around the world. Especially in jr. high or high school in a health class that is required of the students. I also would like to take the opportunity and say that I know that if I wouldn't have my Savior Jesus Christ in my life I probably wouldn't be able to deal with everything that is happening in my life. I also would like to take the time to thank the following musical inspirations. Most of all I would like to thank O-town, ever since you guys have came into the music business you have changed my life dramatically. I love you're music and I love you guys. I would do absolutely anything to meet you guys and I am being completely truthful when I say that you guys are the GREATEST BAND that I know. I would also like to thank Eminem, I love your music keep it up!! |
