::Also, here's a picture of my Mom and I during the Groom & Mother of the Groom dance when I got married on June 18th, 2011::

In 2006 my mom was hospitalized with a very rare disease called Primary Pulmonary Hypertension. There is no cure for this disease -- and the best way I can explain is that the blood vessels in her lungs are so closed off that they cannot (without medication) provide oxygen to the rest of the body. They major side effect of this is that the heart will pump extra hard to provide oxygen to the rest of the body -- which slowly enlarges and kills the heart. My mom has been in the CICU 3 times since 2006 and has always bounced back -- her medication that helps her lungs is close to $20,000 a month (it's a pump that provides medication through her body). The outlook for this disease is very grim -- and the end all is either death (eventually, as it wears out the body) or an attempt at a lung and heart transplant (which is just as dangerous). I've had plenty of time to think of something special I could get for her for her birthday, as we never ever thought she would make it this far, but she is far stronger than I, and I love her for it. We've pushed her, supported her, and to this day she is still the same loving Mom I remembered her to be. Her birthday is on the 20th so I don't have 'a lot' of time, but I'm willing to do what I can as fast as I can.
