If you’ve been part of this journey with me over the years, you might remember the incredible airway clearance cart masterpiece created by the ever-clever Kate. It’s one of those gems worth revisiting and I’ll be sharing her brilliant work with you soon as we dive into clearing and organizing our spaces to kick off the year.
But for now, I want to focus on something deeper—the sacrifices, efforts, and joys we experience just to be with the people we love. At the end of the day, there’s nothing more important than loving and being loved.💖 Kate’s New Year’s Day post: After 5 years, we were finally able to do Christmas together! It took lots of medical preparation and precautions to make sure everyone was illness-free before and during travel due to my immunosuppression and lung disease, but we got ourselves to a cozy cabin and huddled and it was good! It was hard, but it was so good to be together! If you have family/friends who have chronic illness, check on them. The holidays are hard. Chronic means always, so chronic illness doesn’t take a vacation, and managing day-to-day treatments, medications, and symptoms is always more complicated when away from home. Add immunosuppression to the puzzle, and it requires a group project approach to keep us safe from infection. This effort is what love looks like. #LovedOnes #Family #HappyNewYear
