Hi everyone I'm Emily!
As most of you know I have been dealing with a form of Idiopathic Chronic Pancreatitis for the last 2.5 years. Unfortunately this is something that has now put my life on hold as the longer this progresses the more aggressive it becomes & the toll it takes on my physical health.

I was first hospitalized January 2023. From there it was July 2023, November 2023, January 2024 & now to my most recent attacks on March 20, 2025. I had emergency surgery to remove my Gallbladder. Since then I was hospitalized again April 15th for another 8 days & have been struggling more with my health. I am currently still unable to work & receive a small amount of disability but as we all know bills don't care if you're sick or not.

Jordan & I are heading back to Cleveland on June 18th for my very first scope & ultrasound to look at my Pancreas. & it will be determined from there if I can keep it or if part/all of it needs to be removed. There are serious risks that can happen but I want to be here with my family & be back to the woman I was before this nightmare began. I have so much to live for & that I want to be able to witness & accomplish in my life.

Anything to help support us we are beyond grateful. As always the love for all of you never goes unnoticed & will keep fighting as long as I possibly can. ❤️
