The Microblading Chick

Hey y’all! So I’ve had a lot of people reach out to me wondering what exactly has been going on, and I figured I would make a post for all the world to see. 😆

On January 24, I was admitted to the hospital for severe abdominal pain and profuse vomiting. Turns out my colon perforated and I had to have emergency life-saving surgery. I woke up with an 11 inch incision on my abdomen and two bags connected to my stomach as well. One is a colostomy bag and the other is a mucous fistula bag. The doctor also found a mass in my colon, which we later learned is malignant. Thankfully, CT scans have shown that it is localized to just the tumor itself and has not spread any other organs or lymph nodes.

I spent 16 days in the hospital, and was finally discharged on February 9. I am currently doing outpatient wound care twice a week and recently had a wound VAC put in place. Once my incision is fully healed, I will be receiving chemo, followed by radiation which should take a total of around six months. Following those treatments, I will be having surgery to remove the mass, and hopefully during that same surgery resection my colon so that I know longer need the bags.

I am so thankful to be home. And I am so grateful to each of you for reaching out the way you have. All the text messages, the cards, the flowers, the meals, the groceries, the donations, and especially the prayers. I cannot thank you enough. I have been so humbled by everyone’s generosity. I am still not working, and will probably continue to be out of work for a while. I appreciate your continued prayers and support as I face this journey. This season of life has truly taught me what it means to have a village in your corner. I have seen the Lord work through so many of you whether you recognize it or not, and I cannot express how grateful I am for all of it. Love you guys. ♥️

Latest update via my sister. ♥️🙏🏼

::Update on my Sister::❤️‍🩹🙏🏻

Hi everyone, thank you for continued prayers. My sister came home from the hospital on Monday night. She is really grateful to be home with her 3 kids but is now trying to adjust to wound care from the surgery, managing her 2 Ostomy bags on her own and also the pain in general. Her sweet friends Amy and Cheryl started her a Mealtrain. If you are near and want to come bring her and the kids dinner or far and want to send a gift card or have something delivered, below is her mealtrain link.

She still has Radiation therapy and at least one more surgery ahead of her, so her GoFundMe is still available if you want to help her with expenses while she’s unable to work. Thank you so much for all the support and prayers. 🙏🏻🙌🏼❤️‍🩹
