Hello beautiful humans 🤍
Okay… life has been LIFE-ING over here lately.
Since July, we’ve been navigating some pretty heavy health stuff with my parents. Two weeks ago my dad ended up in the hospital with a blood sugar of 39 (normal is 4–8 😳). Surprise plot twist: he’s now diabetic. Because apparently managing liver cancer (diagnosed three months ago) wasn’t enough excitement for one household.
And this week… we found out my mom has lung cancer.
Typing that still doesn’t feel real.
We are staying positive. We are hopeful. We are very much a ride-or-die family.
But I’ll be honest — it’s scary sometimes. And the waiting? The waiting is the hardest part.
My mom is my rock. My best friend. My built-in therapist. My biggest cheerleader.
She has shown up for me my entire life — and now it’s my turn to show up for her.
So what does this mean for you, incredible patients?
My schedule may shift occasionally. I might take a little longer to reply. I may need to reschedule here and there. Family comes first in this season — and I know you understand that.
Please know this: seeing your beautiful faces, chatting, laughing, injecting (of course 😉) — it fills my cup more than you know. You are not “just patients.” You are my people. My friends. My community. And I am so grateful for you.
Thank you for your patience.
Thank you for your kindness.
Thank you for the prayers, the good vibes, the sparkles, the love — we are accepting ALL of it 🤍✨
Still your fave nurse.
Still injecting.
Still showing up.
Just holding my parents a little tighter these days.
Love you all more than you know.
– Your fave nurse Crystal 💋
