Notes From The Sidelines

Updated: Apr 2

April was a very challenging month. The day I uploaded the Doll Parts Show, I was admitted to the hospital.

I had already been suffering for 14 days at this point and was unable to add any food back... I could not take the pain, and I was feeling close to death. I was put on IV antibiotics and was not allowed anything by mouth for 24 hours. Then I was on a liquid diet for 24 hours as we watched and prayed that I would not need emergency surgery for Diverticulitis, A Perforated Bowl, and An Abscess.

Finally, on the morning of the third day (Of my hospital stay), I was able to handle solid foods and antibiotics by mouth, so I was released to go home for outpatient observation.

Weeks Later, I am finally on the mend and at the end of outpatient observation, so now I am healing so that they can see if I will need surgery in a few months. Meanwhile, life has piled up, and I am trying to catch up and finish my Photography Class. I have one last assignment!

While this all was unraveling, I had to drop one of my classes, and I was forced to take a break from school until I could get an all-clear from my doctor. {I am praying I can return for part two of summer classes}

Here I am; I am still determining when I can get back to classes. I am very grateful to be home and feeling a lot better. I am thankful for all the love, support, well-wishes, good vibes, and prayers. I am excited to be getting back to the show on May 8th for the 12 Hour Pledge Drive!
