Chappy Morgan’s Bio
A breaved mother who’s son faught a very tough battle and I’m left picking up my pieces after his death . He had Congenital heart disease and had 7 Open heart surgeries as well as a transplant. He was my first and only kid.
I was told at 18 I’d never be able to have kids due to PCOS. I never ovulate, then at 31 I found out i was pregnant and later with a sick child. I never tried to have kids because they reassured me it wasn’t possible. I ended up losing alot of weight and 2 years later I was pregnant, no meds without even thinking about it.
