Here’s a quick video Update from Chrissy
Here we are again. This is my Facebook post from a few days ago: Chrissy sat at my kitchen table this afternoon, and we both just cried and cried. Calculators and calendars were out, pencil erasers were used to the nubs, and I have to tell you, I don’t know how we are all going to do this again. At the end of the day, I know we will just keep swimming—but it feels like we spend more time under water than above water at times. This news about Tayt is just devastating. I know we will get over the shock and sadness, and pull ourselves up by the bootstraps, but right now it seems more than we can bear. Chrissy has had to have two jobs just to keep things afloat. My business gives a large portion to his trust for stuff just like this, but I run a small business—I am small potatoes. Other family members are selling major things to help out—just like we all did the first time around, because Tayt’s family is amazing that way. We help all we can, but at the end of the day, it’s Chrissy and those closest to her that get dinged the most. Trips going back to Salt Lake City every week (4 hours each way)—Chrissy has to quit her jobs. Again. She is stressed about bills, house payments, insurance, gas for the trips—all of it. Plus all the extra time and worry. Honestly, we don’t know how we did it all in the first place (Ya we do—Ellen, y’all, & especially God). And it’s not just the money...it’s the stress again. There is so much stress. Tayt is such a fighter. He will smile and give us courage through all of this—just like he always does—his body may have memory of the trauma, but his soul is bright and lovely. Ours—today, ours is tired and weak, and not knowing what we are going to do.
We *WILL* Just Keep Swimming, but today—today it seems really hard.
Thank you as always for being here with Tayt. He is all of our hearts. Love, Nana Lori. ❤️❤️
