I was diagnosd when I was four. I was tiny. I was fiesty! My family was pretty unsure what to think when they first heared "Turners Syndrome." In a blur of doctors and tests, they quickly realized that I was still the same child as I was the day before. My parents were my cheerleaders, support, and biggest advocates. Having Turners for me meant continuous ear infections and a suppressed immune system. I was always getting sick with this and that, but my mom and dad taught me how to take good care of myself. They always asked the questions that needed to be asked and made sure I had the best care. I had wonderful doctors and have been very blessed in my life. Many children who go through lots of medical care grow to fear or hate doctors. I have quite the opposite feeling about doctors. I never hesitate to call my doctors or talk to them about something I am concerned about. God has always provided wonderful doctors that have taken great care of me. I have also been fairly lucky to have only minimal health issues. The most difficult issue to date since I am now married is that I can not get pregnant. It has been emotionally difficult for me to feel inadequate, but God has changed my heart. He created me. I am perfect to God. God has walked with me through my entire life. I became a Christian as a fifteen year old with friends that showed me what it was like to live like Christ. God came into my life and showed me what a beautiful creation I was.
I have always said that I have brown hair, green eyes, and Turners Syndrome. It is just part of who I am. God knew I was going to have Turners as he knit me in my mother's womb. He knew it before the doctors did. He also knew that he was going to take great care of me and knew the issues I would face. As a girl, we struggle with issues of self image. A Turners woman has an even bigger battle to face. Our bodies are not shapped exactly the same and do not function exactly the same, but God created us this way. We are just as beautiful as the next girl. God knew I was not going to carry a child so he blessed me with an amazing husband who loves me despite my flaws. God knew that I would struggle with weight and hypothroidism so he put people in my life that could teach me how to eat right and live a healthy life. Having Turners is just a part of who I am. It is not something wrong with me. I am beautiful. I am a child of God and he loves me the same.
