.jpg "a humbling update about courtney the portney")
First, I apologize for the delayed response to so many of you when I posted the above picture on Wednesday… I have been processing some deep news…
I have sat in this waiting room and sections of this hospital for more than 9 years… and in this specific area there has always been an air of holding one’s breath… what will a scan show? What will the results be? So many questions… and specifically for me Wednesday held some very important appointments that I appreciated your prayers for. It is with gratitude, humility, and tears of joy that an end to a long season is truly coming to an end. I am so grateful to announce that in the upcoming months #courtneytheportney will be removed as she is truly NO longer needed.
Having this port truly saved my life. Having the discussion to have it removed was a beautiful emotional experience filled with so much thanksgiving and gratitude.
To be at this stage of life… is a gift that leaves me speechless… especially when at one point I had doctors from some of the most well known medical clinics/hospitals tell me that there was no hope for life, walking again or eating normally (without a feeding tube)… I am truly grateful every single day.
I KNOW that this can be triggering to some of you walking through battles for yourself and loved ones. I am so sorry if this is anything that causes pain… some of me hesitated to share… I am walking with someone through a very difficult health issue and right now those miracles are not coming yet and it has been incredibly painful…. So if that is you… please know my heart is so sorry for your pain.
I also humbly remember so many of you who have been walking this journey with me for 12 incredibly long years. To each of you who have faithfully prayed over the years, stood by me & my family in this journey, donated to numerous financial go fund me campaigns, to the nurses at UVM - “Courtney” & I weep with gratitude. To the letters, emails, texts, & “just the right” words at the right time, the list is never ending & to each of my doctors and to my main medical team all of y'all - I love you...Dr.J... I am indebted forever for you helping save my life. Thank you.
Thank you for rejoicing in this new season, for your continued prayers for me & my health.
If you are in the midst of a health battle… I hope this encourages you to keep pressing forward… I am cheering you on today!!
"The people who survived the wars have found favor in the desert. The Lord said, "I love you with an everlasting love...once again I will build you up & you will be rebuilt my dear people...once again you will take your tambourines & you will go dancing with happy people...once again you will plant...I will satisfy you with abundance"
