I wanted to share a quick but important update.Unfortunately, my surgery has been postponed again due to an infection caused by complications from a recent root canal. My doctors feel it’s safest to fully clear the infection before proceeding with such a major operation.My surgery is now tentatively scheduled for April 22nd.While this delay has been hard, I am staying hopeful and focused on getting healthy enough for surgery. These setbacks also extend my medical journey and the support I need along the way.I am so grateful for every prayer, message, and donation — your kindness is carrying me through more than you know. Thank you for continuing to stand by me during this time. I will keep you updated as I move forward.
