September 28, 2026 🤍🫶🏽 — 1 Year as a Liver Transplant Recipient
One whole year. 🥹💚
My first year as a liver transplant recipient has been eventful, to say the least. I had all these big plans to celebrate today, but God said, “Not so fast, honey.” 😂
After what was supposed to be a routine procedure, I ended up having complications that put me back in the hospital for the entire week. Thankfully, my amazing team found the source of the bleeding and fixed me right back up.
And honestly? It was another reminder that I’m still healing. I may feel stronger, look better, and be living more of a “normal” life, but this precious gift I’ve been given still needs to be cared for—and so do I.
None of this was because of anything I did wrong. But maybe this was God’s way of reminding me to sit down, slow down, and actually REST. 😂 So that’s exactly what I’m doing today and for the foreseeable future.
Because despite every challenge, I am SO incredibly blessed to still be here. And on this first Liver-versary, I choose happiness, gratitude, love, and life. 🤍
I’m beyond grateful for everyone who has stood beside me through this journey.
To my amazing long-distance bestie who made sure these little gifts made it to me, just to remind me what a badass I am—THANK YOU. 🥹❤️ To my beautiful, amazing stepdaughter who made sure I had something special to remind me how loved I am—THANK YOU. 💕
To my husband and stepson, who were practically racing each other to be the first to say “Happy 1 Year Liver-versary.” 😂
And my little trolling son who HAD to say it first before he fell asleep last night because he needed to “ACTUALLY” be first. 😂😭❤️
To my wonderful parents, who have been there every single step of the way—and who continue to remind me daily to SLOW DOWN because apparently I still don’t know how to stop. 😂 …
