Last Wednesday, our world changed in an instant.
What started as a routine doctor’s appointment for my mom quickly turned into an emergency hospital admission. Years of circulation issues and blocked stents had caused severe complications. The lack of blood flow to her foot had become so serious that the tissue was dying and causing her body to become septic. After exhausting every possible option to save her leg, the doctors had to perform an above-the-knee amputation to save her life.
The past week has been filled with fear, uncertainty, long hospital days, surgeries, and difficult decisions. But through it all, we’ve witnessed incredible strength, resilience, and faith. Mom has already amazed us with her determination—sitting up, standing with therapy, getting drains removed, and now being able to transfer herself from her hospital bed to her wheelchair. Every day she continues to make progress and prove just how strong she truly is.
Today marks another big step in her recovery as she is expected to transfer to a rehabilitation facility, where she will begin the next phase of her journey toward healing, rebuilding strength, and learning to navigate this new chapter of life.
As a family, we are beyond grateful for the prayers, messages, support, and understanding we’ve received. While our focus remains on Mom’s recovery and helping her adjust to this new chapter, we wanted to take a moment to thank everyone who has been lifting us up during one of the hardest times of our lives.
Please continue to keep Mom in your prayers as she begins rehabilitation and the journey ahead. We know there will be challenges, but we also know she’s one tough woman.
Thank you all for your love, support, and patience with us during this time.
