Hey all…so last Wednesday (7/9) I was recovering from a 5hr surgery in the ICU. Today I was able to eat good food, sit out in sun, walk a mile+ and have meaningful conversations with friends. Here’s the post from 7/10/25:
Thank you all so much for the outpouring of love, prayers, and support. I’m home now after spending one night in the ICU following surgery. It was intense — I needed a blood transfusion due to low blood pressure — but thanks to an incredible team, I’m stable and beginning the healing process by the grace of God.
This was major surgery, and recovery will take time. I’m sore, still relying on help to move, and taking it day by day — but I’m deeply grateful.
I want to thank my mom, who traveled down to be with me, and Melissa, who’s been by my side every step. And to Lana, Lisa, Aaron, and Tony — thank you for showing up yesterday in all the ways that matter and everyone else too.
Most of all, Rob — I couldn’t do this without you.
Endless gratitude to the brilliant doctors at the Alaska Women’s Cancer Center, especially Dr. Hope, and to the compassionate nursing staff at Providence ICU who cared for me through a tough night.
Please keep the prayers and good energy coming — for me, and for my family: Rob, Korbin, Kaitey, and Layne. I feel your love. I feel your strength.
