💕 Health Update

It’s been a rough stretch lately. I was admitted last week after days of migraines, a bad cold that turned into pneumonia, and intense abdominal pain.

My IR doc cleaned out my old line tract and after checking out my CT,  found stones in my colon — likely the cause of all the pain I’ve been having lately. Most days have been a 10/10, needing extra pain control and IV meds.

After waiting all week for my MRCP, it thankfully showed no bile duct stones 🙏 but Saturday was scary — I spiked a high fever and nearly landed in ICU when my blood pressure dropped. Thankfully, fluids, antibiotics, and breathing treatments helped stabilize things.

The plan now is for a colonoscopy this week to hopefully remove the stones once the pneumonia clears. Taking it one step at a time and so grateful for all the prayers, messages, and love. 💗

You don’t always see the battles people carry quietly.

For me, it’s IV meds, hydration, and TPN — the supplies and routines that keep me alive and stable every single day.

Sharing this glimpse for Invisible Disabilities Awareness Week, because what’s unseen still matters. 💙

Sundays are for slowing down, reflecting, and getting cozy 💭✨

It’s been a busy, but meaningful week sharing about HPN Awareness, and I’m ending it right here — comfy, grounded, and grateful.

Wearing my new @alo sweatshirt (so soft!) and feeling ready for a quiet day before diving into new projects ahead 🤍

💙 Wrapping up HPN Awareness Week with one final message that means so much to me:
Chronic illness and thriving can co-exist.

Living with HPN hasn’t been easy, but it’s also taught me strength, resilience, and gratitude I never knew possible.
Awareness isn’t just about the medical side — it’s about showing that life with chronic illness can still be beautifully blended with purpose, joy, and hope. 💚

Thank you to everyone who shared, learned, and supported awareness this week.
Your engagement truly helps others feel seen and less alone.

💚 As HPN Awareness Week comes to a close, I wanted to share what life on IV nutrition really looks like — beyond the awareness posts and hashtags.

It’s not always easy, but it’s real, and it’s mine.
HPN isn’t the end of the story… it’s what gives us the chance to keep writing it. 💚
