My entry is not for my mom, but for a mom and friend of mine who deserves something special for herself.
Abigail suffered a grand mal seizure at work two years ago and has since dealt with countless medical appointments, memory loss, sensory loss, and constant headaches – all while raising four young boys. Since Abigail is now unable to work fulltime, her husband took on more hours at his job, leaving her to shuttle the boys from sports practices to dentist appointments to school events on her own.
However, despite her medical issues (her neurologists never did find a cause for the seizure and have not ruled out the possibility of it occurring again), Abigail is one of the most upbeat people I know. She always makes herself available to help out other people – most recently, she’s been driving an hour every day to help her pregnant sister pack for an upcoming move. She’s thirsty for knowledge and works on puzzles and word games daily to help improve her memory. She reads voraciously in search of food ingredients that might help spark her taste buds to regain sensitivity.
The boys have been great, too – they understand that Mom’s brain is no longer wired to remember to sign their permission slips and pack lunches without several reminders from them. Only once have I seen Abigail break down and cry over feeling insufficient in terms of parenting, but I know that she’d give anything to regain her short-term memory capacity, if only so that she could expand on her service to others.
If anyone deserves a Total Mom Rejuvenation, it’s Abigail, and I am honored both to be her friend and to share her story.

I am an RN. I have two daughters at home, one in college for nursing and the other is 15 and in at least one sport every season. I am always so busy with “mom” stuff, I don’t get a lot of “me” time. I spend a lot of time helping both daughters with homework from nursing, to pharmacology, to high school algebra. Also, the 15 year old always has a project I am helping with such as the recent Roman house we built from a cake mix to ginger bread houses at Christmas or dressing up for spirit days at school. None of these can be done properly without the help of mom.
My college daughter has already been through these projects over the last several years, and now she is in college and we are planning her wedding for June of 2011. My high schooler is currently on the JV and Varsity softball teams at her high school, so I am at a game pretty much every day of the week. Wow, it is all pretty mind boggling!
I have a great husband who helps a lot, but he just isn’t “Mom”. He also has been laid off for the last year, so I have recently taken on a second job part-time to help pay the bills and get ready for the wedding. I am helping him get started in a traveling airbrush business at softball games where he will paint helmets and shirts.
This Total Mom Rejuvenation would be a total blessing to me! Thanks for accepting my entry!
