Kim is Home

🏡We’re home.

💛Thank you for being patient while I stayed quiet. I just needed time to rest, process, and begin healing. I wasn’t ready to share, but I’m getting there. 💛

Before I share the harder medical truths later this week🤢 I want to start with something else.

🌊These photos hold pieces of a chapter that I wasn’t sure I’d ever get to start. They’re from the moments between the hard ones, the quiet healing days, the beauty I got to witness, the hours before and after surgery when time slowed down and reminded me how precious it all is.

Getting to Oahu for this surgery, to this specific medical team, was only possible because of you!🫶🏼 Those who donated, shared, checked in, and helped us provide medical care for Cole and Bella while I was away. As a family we will never forget it.

🥺Emotionally, this has been hard. All I wanted was to come home fixed — to be able to tell you all that it worked, that it’s over. But that’s not how this chapter ends. The truth is, while a lot was done, and important progress was made, I didn’t come home fully healed. More interventions are ahead, and the road is still unfolding.

😴I’m resting now. Trying to be a good patient while my heart processes the weight of it all.

The full update will come later this week. But for now, I just want to thank you. Deeply. Emotionally. Honestly. For helping.

With love and so much gratitude,

Kim & The Family💛

Also enjoy these pictures because the next set are not as pretty 🤩 In my neices words “ew yuck”
