this Justin

Hello … hello … anyone out there? Ok, yes, it’s been a minute. I pray you’ve been enjoying life as we have, taking in every single blessing as it rolls in. Not quite sure where I left off, but on Justin’s health journey, I’m taking no news as good news. A year and a half…

for extra prayers this week

Sorry about the mix-up on the last post. I accidentally published an old draft from 2018, ugh. Justin had his final radiation treatment this past Friday, rang the gong, and we hightailed it out of there (a quick 10-hour drive to NM). Here are a couple of shots to give a glimpse of what the…

Today starts Justin’s final week of radiation at MD Anderson! Woot Woot!! Hard to believe it has been six weeks, seems both short and long. Short because it’s almost over and I think we’re a little used to long recoveries, but long for more obvious reasons. This is the longest Justin and I have ever…

Justin is officially past the halfway mark for his radiation treatments! Hooray! It’s already been nearly two weeks since my last post, so there’s a bit to get caught up on. First up, Carter’s visit with Justin went really well. They both had such a good time and Carter loved the urban living (mostly because…

Can you believe Justin is already in week three of treatment? He has been a busy guy though! As much as I told him to take it easy, to use this time for healing and recovery, to enjoy … Houston (lol!), that’s just not his style. Most of his appointments, for the time being anyway,…

Let’s catch up, shall we? Recovery from Justin’s spinal debulking and fusion surgery pretty much sucked, still sucks. Wasn’t quite the recovery we were expecting with challenges that still lie ahead. He was more than 12 weeks in his Aspen collar, several weeks in a soft collar, as many PT sessions as insurance would afford,…

A few things have changed since we last spoke. Before we get into the new details, I’d like to first mention how Justin’s recovery is going. To recap, his surgery was a doozy! Many of you who have had cervical spine surgery know it’s big, and the extent of his was astronomical. Initially, the doctors…

Justin is once again home and recovering! Not sure how he does it … this marking his 16th surgery. He’s thankful for the new recliner we bought just before this entire debacle. Tucky doesn’t mind it so much either!!! Please continue your prayers, this is a long way from over. God bless, Christina
