Another update from this hospital room… ❤️‍🩹

Saturday’s surgery came and went, and unfortunately, we still don’t have a diagnosis. I have surgery scheduled again this morning, and we are holding onto hope that this time brings some answers.

The longer I’m here, the weaker I’m getting. I’ve reached the point where I need help with basic things I never imagined I’d need help with—like showering and taking care of myself. It’s humbling, frustrating, and honestly, really scary.

I am SO thankful for my husband. He has been right beside me through every test, every procedure, every hard day, and every moment when I’ve felt like I just can’t do this anymore. I don’t know what I would do without him. ❤️

I’m trying so hard to stay hopeful, but I’ll be honest… it’s getting harder. When you’re sick for this long without answers and you feel yourself getting weaker instead of stronger, it’s hard not to wonder how much more you can take.

But I NEED to come out of this. I need to get back home. I need my husband. I need my family. I need my animals. I need my farm. I need my life back. 🙏🏻

So today, I’m asking for BIG prayers. Not just for answers, but for strength, healing, wisdom for my doctors, and the courage to keep fighting when hope feels really hard to hold onto.

Please keep praying for me. I’m not ready to give up. ❤️🙏🏻

Hey guys! ❤️ Just checking in from my hospital room. I’m still stuck here, but today my day was made by the sweetest pet therapy visitor! 🐾🤍

There is just something about the unconditional love of an animal that can make even the hardest days feel a little lighter. 🥹

I miss my animals SO much—the chickens, the pigs, the dogs, all of them. Being away from the farm has definitely been one of the hardest parts of all of this. 🐓🐖🐶❤️

For a little while today, I got to forget that I’m sick and just soak up some much-needed animal love. And honestly… my heart needed it.

Thank you all for continuing to check on me, send messages, and most importantly, keep the prayers coming. 🙏❤️ I’m taking it one day at a time and praying that I’ll be back home where I belong—and back with my crazy crew—very soon.

One day closer. One prayer at a time. 🙏🐾❤️

💚 A Little Update & A Whole Lot of Gratitude 💚

I just want to take a moment to say THANK YOU to every single person who has prayed for me, checked on me, sent messages, left encouraging comments, or simply kept me in your thoughts. Your love and support have truly been a bright spot in some incredibly dark days. ❤️

It looks like I’m going to be here a little longer than I originally thought. After 7 long days, I still can’t keep anything down. They’ve ruled out infections and viruses, and after countless scans, tests, and bloodwork, we still don’t have an explanation for what’s going on. More testing to come. We’re not done yet!

Tomorrow, I’m getting a PICC line, and I’ll start TPN (IV nutrition). I’m praying that giving my body the nutrition it desperately needs will help me regain some strength and hopefully start feeling a little better. Right now, I am SO incredibly weak.

And while I’m asking for prayers for me, I especially want to ask you to pray for my sweet husband. ❤️ He has been taking the brunt of my emotional outbursts, worrying about me, working, and somehow still keeping up with our farm—with the help of our daughter. Grace Roots Farm doesn’t stop just because Mom is in the hospital, and I know the weight of all of this has been a lot. I’m beyond grateful for him.

I have read every single encouraging word you’ve sent, even when I haven’t had the energy to respond. Please know that they have meant more to me than I can put into words. They have kept me going on some really hard days. 🥹❤️

So please keep the prayers coming. Pray for answers. Pray for healing. Pray for strength. And please pray for my family as they juggle all of this while I’m away.

From the bottom of my heart… thank you. ❤️

Much love,
Melissa @ Grace Roots Farm 🌱🐓🐖

There are some lessons in life that we don’t learn until we’re forced to stop.

Right now, I’m sitting in a hospital bed, facing surgery for something that, honestly, may have been preventable if I had simply slowed down and paid more attention to me.

That realization is hard.

As a nurse and a caregiver, I’ve spent so much of my life taking care of other people. I notice when someone else isn’t feeling right. I advocate for them. I tell them to rest, to listen to their bodies, to follow up when something doesn’t feel normal.

And then there’s our farm.

Every day, there are hundreds of animals depending on us. Chickens, pigs, dogs, and all the other pieces of farm life don’t care if you’re tired, overwhelmed, or not feeling your best. They still need to be fed, watered, checked on, cared for, and loved. There are always chores to do, animals to check, eggs to collect, fences to worry about, and something that needs our attention.

So somewhere along the way, I became really good at taking care of everyone and everything except myself.

I pushed through the exhaustion. I put things off. I told myself I’d deal with it later. There was always a patient who needed me, an animal that needed me, a family member who needed me, or something on the farm that couldn’t wait.

Until my own body decided it had waited long enough.

Being the caregiver doesn’t make us invincible. Being a nurse doesn’t mean we get to ignore our own warning signs. And being strong doesn’t mean we have to keep going until our bodies force us to stop.

So if you’re reading this and you’ve been putting yourself last, please hear me:

Slow down.
Rest.
Make the appointment.
Pay attention to the little things.
Listen when your body is trying to tell you something.
Take care of yourself before you reach the point where you have no choice.

I’m learning a hard lesson right now: taking care of yourself isn’t selfish. It’s necessary.

Because the truth is, those hundreds of animals on our farm need us. Our families need us. Our patients need us. The people we love need us.

But they need us healthy enough to keep showing up.

I don’t know exactly what the next few days will bring, but I do know I’m going to come out of this with a different perspective.

To all the nurses, caregivers, farmers, moms, dads, spouses, grandparents, and people who are constantly putting everyone and everything else first — you matter, too.

Please don’t wait for a hospital bed to remind you.

Sometimes the person who needs your care the most is you. ❤️🐔🐷🌱

This handsome fella has officially entered his “look at me when I walk by” era, and honestly, we’re here for it!

There’s just something about a turkey that makes you stop, stare, and wonder how an animal can be simultaneously majestic, ridiculous, and absolutely adorable. ❤️

Drop a 🦃 in the comments if you think he deserves a name! And if you have a good turkey name, LET’S HEAR IT! 👇😂
