Today is Fionas birthday 7:47 pm

At the beginning of October, my family and I contracted Covid. Unfortunately, Fiona, myself, Anthony, my mother, and Fiona's nurses were all affected. It's been a difficult time for us, especially Fiona, as she has lost a significant amount of weight. In fact, she weighs only 39lbs when she was measured last Wednesday, which is extremely dangerous.

We have been facing challenges ever since Fiona received her trexo.
With assistance w her Trexo Fiona was able to walk up to 2k steps a day and she was burning too many calories. It breaks my heart to see that she doesn't gain weight like other children. The absence of the sphincter muscle above her stomach makes it incredibly hard to keep food in her stomach. When she gets constipated, we are unable to feed her at all, causing everything to stop moving and forcing the food to come back up. These complications are taking a toll on her body.

Fiona has been admitted to the children's hospital since Thursday. Yesterday, she had a PIC line inserted and is now receiving Total Parenteral Nutrition (TPN). TPN provides Fiona with 50% of her nutritional needs while I continue to feed her slowly. Our plan is to leave the hospital by Monday and continue the TPN at home. I'm praying that this will help her regain some of the weight she has lost.

On a positive note, we finally have the full attention of the doctors, and they are taking Fiona's gastrointestinal issues seriously. After years of asking for help with no action taken, we have finally set up a visit with Nationwide Children's Hospital. During the visit, we will discuss the possibility of a gastric pacer, which can help with stomach emptying and intestinal movement. Additionally, we will address the dysfunction of the esophageal sphincter, which causes severe acid reflux and prevents proper digestion. This issue is not only painful but also leads to malnourishment due to the inability to keep food in the stomach.

Fiona will turns 10 years old, and I couldn't be prouder of her. Her journey has been far from easy, but she faces each day with a smile on her face. Fiona is the strongest person I know, and love her deeply. I am honored to be called her mother.

I have been fighting for answers for so long. I pray that we are finally taking the right steps to address and resolve these issues once and for all.

Sorry it’s taken a minute to come back to Fiona’s Garden Went to market and was so excited. Did great, met so many wonderful people. Had a wonderful time. Once I got home I was so sick and was sick for two days. Had blood work done and came back very concerning. My dr was afraid that my cancer had returned. Thank God that my white blood count was in great range but there was definitely something going on. But I have all tests in place to see what’s actually making my blood work off.
With me still on post chemo meds, my oncologist has advised me that I stay out of the heat. It’s just too hot for me at this time. I will use this page to sell my succulents.
I’m not able to ship at this time so it will be local sale.
Thank you for all your support and thank you for following.

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. I just wanted to reach out again and say thank you for all that came out and support all the vendors.
It’s been brought to my attention I had a mishap and a unhappy customer from Saturday. If at anytime you purchase from Fiona’s garden and you are not happy….please do not hesitate and reach out and allow me to make it right. I am new to this and I want to make others happy. If I’ve made a mistake, which will happen, this is a learning experience for me and I will only do better. The last thing I want is to unhappy my community. Team Fiona started so I could share and spread awareness and and to bring HoPE to others and show that God is still preforming His miracles today. We need to slow down to see them. The succulents are giving me that opportunity to share with you something that we both love. Succulents and Fiona. I don’t want to let you down. Come to me. So I can make it right. So with that being said I wanted to share with you, I think I need to make cupcakes for us. I’m in love

Welcome to Fiona’s Garden. Fiona is our 9 yr old daughter living with a rare brain abnormality called Holoprosencephaly (HPE which we call them HoPE children) Fiona is also the only child that we know of to survive HPE and Down syndrome. So this page is dedicated to our beautiful girl.
I am a stay at home mother to Fiona. And carrying a job is very difficult due to her complexities. But I’m 2020 I was diagnosed with breast cancer and a sweet friend bought me my first succulent. And that is where it all started. I’ve grown my own plants and was bored with the traditional flower pots. So I set out searching for unique and beautiful planterettes. Everywhere I looked I saw something so unique to give my succulents a new home. Some of the teacups are valuable antiques but why keep something so beautiful in a cupboard, I want to bring them out to be adored.
On this page I will also educate and share important information. So you too can care for your plants and learn as we grow together.
I really HoPE you enjoy what I’ve created. I must admit it’s been a lot of fun and I’m very excited to share with all of you. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to send me a dm. This is just the beginning of my new adventure.

Finally home from the hospital 🫶🏼 Thank you for all the DM prayers for Fiona. Much appreciated! I was neglecting my girls. So I took some time this morning and did a little potting. A week was way too long to be away. But Fiona was really sick. But those prayers helped. She bounced back nicely

Hey Everyone!
As a new succulent lover, I'm learning a thing or two about how to care for these beauties. They can be a little tricky. I’m learning. So I wanted to share with you. So many say they can’t keep succulents alive. Ive found few tips that I wanted to share. How to keep your indoor succulents happy and healthy 🌵

Light: Succulents love bright light, but not direct sunlight. place them near a window with filtered light.

Water: Don't overwater your succulents! Water them only when the soil is dry to the touch.
Overwatering can lead to root rot and eventually kill your plant.

Soil: Use well-draining soil specifically formulated for succulents. This will ensure that excess water doesn't stay in the soil and cause root rot.

Pot: Choose a pot with drainage holes to allow excess water to escape. Without drainage holes, the soil will stay too wet and cause root rot.

Temperature: Succulents like warm temperatures between
60°F to 85°F (15°C to 29°C).

Keep them away from cold drafts or air conditioning vents.
With these tips, you'll be able to keep your indoor succulents healthy and thriving for years to come.

Happy Mother’s Day to all mommas out there. This wouldn’t be a fun day without my little sugar butt!! Ms Fiona! You have changed me in “almost” everyway. I’m honored God picked me to be the one to fight your battles and advocate like a unleashed beast! Let it be told there are a few afraid, as they should. IM A MOTHER and not just any mother. I KEEP THIS GIRL ALIVE, I fight for her body, mind, and keep her soul at peace. It’s not a job for just anyone. You have to be STRONG and FEARLESS and love hospital food,  sleepless nights! 🤣
But I’m the mom for this one and I couldn’t be any prouder 




Thank you God!!
