Hey, I'm Tracey married to a wonderful man by the name of Brian and we have a precious 3 year old daughter named Shelby Lynn. We reside in Waynesboro,GA. My days are filled with joyous moments spent with Shelby. My husband and little girl are my life. I am a devoted Christian, wife, mother, & volunteer for the Center for New Beginnings- www.nbeginnings.org (our local non-profit Christian Center for the Special Needs) and also volunteer 1 morning a week at our Church's BiblePlaySchool Program. At the Center, I serve as the Parent Support Coordinator providing resourceful information to other parents as well as hosting monthly Parent Support Group meetings where we as parents can come together to get away from life's everyday struggles as being parents of special needs children for just a brief moment.

Little More about Me........

 My daughter and I both have a trach. We both have a rare syndrome, Osteopathia Striata with Cranial Scelrosis. This syndrome has several different names and variations. Abnormalities include: severe obstructive sleep apnea (which causes us to be tracheostomy dependent), very small nasal cavity/passages, hearing impairment, cleft palate, GI issues, very large bones (facial structure issues), dental issues, developmentally delayed,etc. Life span is normal there is no cure, and only a handful of people worldwide with it. I have had my trach for about 25 yrs and have done well if I have to say so myself. Shelby received her trach in 2006, she continues to thrive each day. I look forward to meeting others with similar backgrounds and hope to shed a little bit of hope and inspiration to others. I have posted our story in journal section  to share a little hope,inspiration and know that God is Good All the Time.
