Lifesavers for Latasha

The past few months have been a whirlwind, full of challenges and triumphs. Every day has brought new emotions, testing our strength and resilience. Tasha has faced this journey with incredible courage, overcoming emotional, physical, and spiritual battles that most can only imagine.

Today, we find ourselves back at the Cleveland Clinic for Tasha’s six-month lung bronchoscopy, biopsy, and comprehensive physical check-up. These tests will reveal how her heart and lungs are adapting and provide crucial insights into her transplant and anti-rejection progress. By week’s end, we’ll have a clearer picture of her long-term outlook.

While the road has been far from easy, especially with persistent stomach issues, nausea, and the challenges of adjusting to medication, we are hopeful. Every step forward, no matter how small, brings us closer to finding the right balance and making meaningful progress.

On December 12, we will celebrate a special milestone—our 12th wedding anniversary. A date as unique as 12/12/12 marks 12 unforgettable years together. While our celebration looks different than we had imagined, it is no less meaningful. In the midst of exhaustion and uncertainty, we’re still finding moments of gratitude and love, even in small, quiet ways.

We know this journey is far from over, and finding our “new normal” will take time. But with every step forward, we’re reminded of the strength, love, and support that keep us moving. We are hopeful, grateful, and determined to keep pushing toward brighter days ahead.

Thank you to all of our friends and family who continue to support and pour into us from afar.
