I realized the other day that I have not posted on here in quite some time.
It has been a very busy year so far for Shane & I.
We’ve had 6 hospital stays so far, steady lab draws for his transplant, Norovirus that seemed like it was never going to go away, and of course our airway reconstruction is still very much a project.
Missing family events, holidays, birthdays, etc.

But we are doing the best we can & we are getting somewhere!
Today, Shane has a scope, his second in the last month. This will show us the inside of his trachea and give us an idea of what his airway is doing. We pray for positive news everytime, and so far we’ve never received debilitating news. God comes through for us everytime.
This one feels different, today I am praying that God brings complete healing to Shane’s body. I pray for a miracle that only he can provide. I know Shane has such a big life ahead of him that God has created and I pray to God that life will be miraculous and Shane will be one of His disciples here on Earth.
If you could, please say a prayer with us.

I promise to update more often. We appreciate all of your love.
God’s got this & God has got Shane ♥️

Thank you Team Shane! ♥️
We were able to bless Shane’s home unit with enough Roku sticks for every room!
If you don’t see your gift tag, it’s because we had enough to bless the Oncology floor and the PICU as well!
20 Disney+ gift cards and stickers for the patients!

Merry Christmas and God bless! 🙏🏼♥️🎄

EDIT: Thank you all for the support! We have reached our goal and then some! There will be enough gift cards for the year!♥️
God bless all of you & may you all have Happy Holidays!

Good morning friends and family!
Happy Sunday! 🙏🏼♥️

We are still inpatient, but out of the PICU & in our “home away from home” unit here at AFCH-UWKids Hospital. ♥️

This holiday season, Shane and I are wanting to bless others because we were blessed with his Make-A-Wish!
We asked our nurse friends what would help families that have long stays here like us?
They said they are hoping to get more Roku sticks for the rooms because they don’t have enough for everyone.
I also mentioned about getting some Disney+ gift cards for kids who may be here without a parent present
So!
I am asking here, if you have it in your heart to donate $20 for a Roku Stick, or $25 for a Disney+ Gift Card, I would love to gift it to the families staying at the Children’s Hospital here in Madison.
I have included the prices for each at the local Walmart, I have both CashApp and Venmo.
I posted my Venmo in the comments! 👇🏼

Please let me know if you have questions!
God bless yall! ♥️🎄🎅🏼✝️

To all of our lovely friends & family,
Thank you for your patience and unwavering support.

To say the last three weeks has been a whirlwind, is an understatement.

On 11/03, Shane underwent surgery to fix his airway so he could be trach free, everything looked great, we were discharged a couple weeks later.

On 11/18, I brought Shane back to the ER at UW because he was breathing a bit harder and seemed off.
We found out the next day that Shane’s graft was trying to fail. (The piece used to fix his airway)
They tried to fix it and said we will see how he does until Friday. He did not do great.
They went in Friday and found that the graft had been disintegrating and left a hole in his trachea.
With that, they decided to put his trach back into place and put a stent above it with hopes of saving the work they did. This will be in place for roughly 6 months.
There are new challenges and obstacles, BUT nothing Shane and I cannot handle.
We believe in the power of prayer and God is going to heal my son.

Thank you everyone for the love and encouragement, it gets me through the slow days.
♥️🙏🏼♥️🙏🏼
