Jackies Every day Lifestyle with Angelman Syndrome

THIS IS ABOUT MY STEP DAUGHTER JACKIE AND ABOUT HER IN HER LIFE.

Welcome To Jackie's Lifestyle Here you will get to learn about the things my daughter has done to get to were she is today. My daughter Jackie is an angel man syndrome child that has a lot of gifts. Jackie is able to do a lot of her subjects a lot easier than others. Jackie can write poetry, use the computer, and she can go to college like a normal child can. During the time Jackie was little Jackie's Grandma was very abusive towards Jackie's mother Jessie and her aunt Kathy. Now that Jackie is older her grandma wants to have contact with her. Before when Jackie was younger her grandma Wendy did not want anything to do with Jackie because her disability was too severe. Jessie her mom is in heaven now because of being hit by a car when she was in her wheelchair at the mailbox. Jackie's grandma Wendy contacted her through email asking her to come see her in the rehab center in Ohio because she wants to make things up with her. Nobody believes Wendy about wanting to make things up with Jackie because she was so abusive toward Jackie's family. Kathy is in heaven as well because she had an epileptic seizure that made her stop breathing and made her pass out. Mike took Kathy to the E.R. but before he could get her there in time she was already gone. Jackie has made honor roll every year and by doing so she was able to get into a college. Growing up in Ohio with her dad Mike she has established the in's and outs of the city. Now that she is older and she is in college Jackie is currently looking to see what she can do for her career. Jackie is very good in sign language and even though she can not talk and walk that much she is still currently working on walking and striving to learn how to talk and walk. Now that Jackie is in college she is making honor roll and loving her college because of how much they are helping her to succeed. Jackie told her dad Mike that she is doing so well in her poetry class and math and English that she got a 83.3 in Math and a 93.3 in English and a 89.9 in her Poetry Class. Jackie is making her dad Mike so proud of her that He knows that he raised her up right. Being disciplined has really helped Jackie in improving her lifestyles. Even through the hardships Jackie went through she could always rely on her dad Mike. Even though Mike went on trips a lot with his family Jackie was still able to stay with Julie during the time of leaving. Jackie really loved Julie so much that she did not want to leave her. Now that Jackie has grown up so much and moved out there will be always time that her dad Mike wishes that he could hold her again. Being an Angel Man Syndrome Child Jackie had to go through a lot of Occupational Therapy and Physical Therapy to get through her life struggles. Jackie had friends that would come over to her dad Mike's house and then there would be times it would be hard for them. Jackie went through a lot of pain when it came to losing one of her friends that had Angel Man Syndrome. Even though she went through pain she was still willing to keep going on and succeeding in her lifestyle. 
Jackie is currently living in Falls Church Virginia with Bryan and Candace Farmer she is going to school at Falls Church Community College and she is succeeding in many ways over there but there are some things that will be changing in her life in May of 2011. Risia is putting Jackie into another school setting because of some issues that has been going on in Jackie's life. Even though Jackie is far from here she is not far from my heart because we do a lot of communication through email and talking on i m services. When Jackie finishes college she is coming back to live with mom and dad but dad really felt that it was best for her to go to school were Bryan and Candace are living. Now Jackie is enrolled in a program that will help her to be able to live on her own in the coming years we are so excited for her that she will be able to get an apartment so that way she can live on her own. We know how hard it is for her to not be able to do that but are so proud of her accomplishments.
