Update: I’m back in Houston and going to transplant next week! I am immensely grateful for this huge answer to prayer, and for the donor (my only 10/10 match in the world) who is selflessly donating his stem cells to save my life— and so quickly!

I would be lying if I said I’m not scared. I’ve heard transplant is incredibly difficult to say that I am tired weak after last month’s chemo cycle would be an understatement. That, and leaving the kids until October is… hard.

But, I’ve done harder things. If this is what I have to do to be their mom for many years to come — let’s do it.

As always, I am immensely grateful for your prayers, kind words, messages, and so many kindnesses shown to our family since this journey has begun (and before!) I am so thankful for each of you and will keep you posted ❤️

Thank you Lord, thank you Dr Kantarjian, thank you , and thank you ALL! We have a long road ahead of us, but I am feeling so hopeful ❤️

Dear Friends: it’s time for another update, albeit sooner than I expected.

When I first shared my diagnosis, I asked that you please join me in praying that it was low-risk. Sadly, soon after, we learned that my AML is high-risk. This means that my chance of relapse is high and that a bone marrow transplant is necessary. I am assured that because I am young and we can be aggressive with treatment, a cure is possible for me.

Last week, I received a phone call from one of the best doctors in the world for my condition. I won’t get into the backstory of how that conversation came to be, but know that it was certainly and undeniably divine intervention.

This afternoon, Mike and I will fly to MD Anderson in Houston, TX and I will begin another month of treatment under this new doctor. We aren’t sure how aggressive yet, as it depends on my biopsy results.

Then, I will come home for two weeks, and return to Houston for my transplant, where I will stay for 4 months.

I can’t express the deep sadness, fear, and overwhelm I feel. Leaving Mike and the kids again is so painful. These coming months will be extraordinarily difficult— physically, emotionally, logistically, and financially— but we are doing our best to take things one day at a time.

Through this hellacious ride, I am reminded that there are glimmers of kindness and mercy woven throughout. Still— it’s hard.

Mike and I are so thankful for every prayer, kind word, meal, donation, and act of kindness that our community (near and far) has shown us. We are immensely grateful.

I love yall and will keep you posted ❤️

And just like that, I am home! Waking up in my own bed, sipping a cup of coffee next to Bowie as the sun streams in - it’s a gift I will never take for granted.

After the events of the last week or so, no one is more shocked (or thrilled!) than I am. Thankfully, my blood counts recovered quickly, as did my energy and appetite, and I was mercifully discharged yesterday.

Coming home was magical. Not only was a welcome party waiting for me with signs and balloons and streamers when I pulled up, but our neighbors drove by in a golf cart parade to welcome me home that evening. The love I felt moved me to happy tears.

While I was gone, those neighbors (who are more like family, really) mowed our lawn, planted flowers, watered our plants, and fed our family.

So many of you sent meals, kind words, prayers, donations, and other kindnesses, big and small, that I will never be able to repay. There are so many of you to thank. Thank you, thank you, thank you— those words will never be enough. ❤️

And now, the hard part: this journey is not over. We now know that it will be a marathon, and this was just the beginning. It’s going to be really tough. I will share more on that soon, but first: we pray for complete remission to be found in next week’s bone marrow biopsy.

For now, I am soaking up every beautiful minute at home with my family and friends before the next battle begins.

As always, I am so thankful for each of you ❤️

Turns out, “in sickness and in health” includes (but is not limited to) shaving your wife’s head.

I figured it would be less traumatic to do this on my own terms than to wake up each day with clumps of hair on my pillow, so I asked Mike to help me when he visited on Saturday.

He carefully helped me braid it and tie up with the ear elastics from masks so that I could donate it. And then… he shaved it off.

Throughout our marriage, we’ve traversed some pretty harrowing trails - but we’ve always done it together.

Even though he is just as devastated as I am, he comforted me like no one else could… assuring me that it’s giving GI Jane and Sinead O’Connor, and not Gollum, like I’d feared.

If I have to do this, I’m so, so glad I have him by my side ❤️
