Hey everybody, Jake here. First off, thank you all for the prayers, well wishes and gifts. We truly appreciate them all during these tough surgeries and hospital stays. I had wished today's post was going to be a little better news for you, but the fact is this surgery hit Crysta hard. We expected it to be tough, but not necessarily in the way it was. Thats the beauty(or ugly truth) about these type of conditions. She was in recovery for 8 hrs before they had here stable enough to finish admission to her room. Last night was rough, like no sleep for either of us rough. Fortunately they were able to shift her treatment plan and the rest of the day has been better. She is still in a lot of pain, and nowhere close to feeling herself but is at a much more manageable spot. Naps have been a big part of our day, even if they are short. 😂 I know she hasn't been very active on her phone, so if you have reached out and not heard from her just know she is managing and will hopefully be back soon. Thank you all again!

We’ve had several people message us asking if there’s any way they can help with food and gas while I’m having surgery and admitted… so I’m attaching my Venmo link here. ❤️
I want to be VERY clear… this post is in no way me asking for money or donations. I just know we’ve had people asking, and Jake is basically foreign to Venmo 😂 He knows how to use my Venmo card if there’s money on it and that’s about the extent of his expertise lol.
We are almost fully packed for the hospital… and I’ll have to show yall Jake’s setup for inpatient stays like this because this man comes PREPARED. 😂
We have to be there at 10:30 and surgery is at 12:30.
More than anything though… I’d really appreciate your prayers today. Not only for me, but especially for Jake. Please pray for comfort and peace for him while he sits there waiting to hear that I’m okay and see me in recovery… and for strength and patience as he takes care of me through the hospital stay and once we get home.
I know waiting on the other side of those operating room doors isn’t easy either. ❤️

I LOVE YOU GUYS…
Jake will update yall once I get to my room after surgery. He knows it’s mandatory to update yall every day 😂😬

13 years ago, we brought this boy home.
Gunnar Layne Durbin ❤️❤️
He is his mama’s twin, he’s allergic to everything.. he has ivdd and has had two back surgeries totaling over 13k. My million dollar baby 😬
I am his person and he will forever be my baby.
So depressing seeing your “babies” age.
Scares me think about life without him or our other ween, Maddie.

All I did was clean the toilet and throw away some hair stuff… THAT’S IT. 😭
Now I’m sweating from literally every surface of my body, my face is throbbing and bright red… all while standing in a house where the air is set to SIXTY DEGREES.
So upset with myself for waiting to the absolute last minute for anything my mind deems as overwhelming (which is everything).. literally just want to cry

With this surgery, I’m going to need things to occupy me… what are some essential reading apps???
Any apps that allow you to read while you’re listening along???
Also, any thriller plot twist books that shock you by the end??
I just bought the surrogate 😬😬

Yall came through on finding me the best pajamas (I bought 8 pairs of pajamas from joyspun.. they were on clearance)….so I need your help on cozy socks.. I’ve noticed some brands disintegrate in the wash or literally leave fuzz everywhere… where are we buying cozy socks or what brand are we using?
Hospital socks agitate me and my sensory issues, so wanting a safe & comfortable alternative.
