It is with an absolute broken heart and soul that I announce Reed went to be with Jesus this morning.
He was the love of my life, an amazing husband, father, friend and just man in general. Iām not sure how we will ever live without him.
Service details will be announced as we know.
I have not really had a chance to absorb what all went down yesterday. Truly Iām still reeling from it all. So yesterday I went in as usual for my lab work prior to chemo. Ironically I thought it was late. But I checked in to my appointment an hour earlier. Hanging out waiting for the labs to come back. Some time went by then the nurse called me into see the doctors. I knew that wasnāt good. I wasnāt scheduled to see the doctor. So thats when the doctor procedes to tell me my liver functions are out of wack. Over the last month Iāve been to the er several times. Well according to labs and scans they are fearful the chemo isnāt working. They want to change chemo compounds again. Unfortunately the next step in treatments require a picc line and will be two days of chemo every 21 days and weekly would care for the Picc line.
I was scheduled to go in today to get the Picc line and chemo tomorrow and Thursday. Tentatively thatās the plan.
But after Iāve had some time to think and really digest what is going on I will be calling my oncology team today. I have been going through a lot the last month. Back injury, infection, chemo.
Now after considering all this I am going to request a week break. I feel like for over 14 months Iāve been fighting nonstop. I need to hit pause. Let my body recoup and hit it again next week.
I donāt know exactly how itās all gonna play out because I really have not completely made the decisions until I can talk to the doctors.
Thank you everyone for the prayers.
Whatās on my mind?!?! Well I was sent this this afternoon!

Hopping on real quick to give yāall an update on whatās going on. If I donāt do it now I wonāt. So if Iām rambling a bit I apologize. This past Monday I shared the story of what happened to me a year ago. Thank you all for the kind comments, prayers etc. it truly does mean a lot to me and my family as well as my extended family.
This is my brother Craig. He has taken the step to share his story.
I am looking forward to him sharing his journey with you all.
I could not be more proud of him for taking the courageous step at being vulnerable and sharing one of the hardest things heās faced. The outpouring of love and support he has gotten has been nothing short of incredible.
