There were a million images of my brain taken from last month, but these two photos are the most impactful. The weird alien looking bubble on the before picture was a 2MMish brain aneurysm that had ruptured. The bright red dot on the after photo is what it looks like when you have the best neurosurgeon in the world, Dr Malek, coil that little bastard to make sure this never EVER happens again.
So if you ever wanted to see a before and after of what it looks like to take down a giant… now you have 🧠

For today’s 🌈 - I wanted to say thank you to the Animal Rescue League of Boston for the love and kindness that goes in and out of this incredible rescue and also for this hand drawn remembrance of our baby Luna.

It’s been 40 days since we last held our baby and we know she has been with us every single second since then. She is always and forever with us 🤍

Our perfect little angel, thank you to so so many people who love her and love us so much, so many beautiful and thoughtful gifts and moments, and how lucky are we to have had such a love that makes this loss harder than we could ever explain.

To all my babies, to all my little ones (mine, yours, all my angel babies)… I can’t wait to see you all again 🌈🫶

One week out of Tufts Medical Center follow-up appointment🧠🤍

A few more little milestones in this very strange recovery journey (strange because it all still feels surreal):

✅ All stitches are OUT
✅ Officially allowed to wash my hair!! 🙌
✅ Finally got to meet Dr. Malek - the best neurosurgeon in the country - while I was actually awake even though he told me that he met me MANY times (and saved my life) 😂
✅ Follow-up MRI scheduled for one month
✅ We made a plan for end of year when completely stable to place a stent for my second aneurysm, which thankfully is not as scary and not as urgent and will only require a couple nights at the hospital

Still feels surreal that this is my life right now, but every appointment that ends with a plan and a little more progress feels like a win. And I actually slept last night, it’s noon and I’m going back to sleep. Doing things takes a LOT of out me 🥱
But here I am. And washing my hair before bed tonight sounds like the best plan. 🤍

I still can’t believe this is me when I see myself 🥵
Here’s a quick Wednesday update 🤍

After 25 full days in the Neuro ICU, the day finally arrived. I got to go home. ❤️

On July 27, 2026, I had a 5 mm brain aneurysm rupture directly in front of my husband, Steve. He immediately called 911, and I was at Tufts Medical Center within about 30 minutes. When I asked which doctor saved my life, they told me it wasn’t anyone at the hospital. They said it was my husband. He acted immediately when every minute mattered, and that quick action is a huge reason I’m recovering without any deficits.

Twenty-five days is a long time to live in an ICU, being woken every hour for neuro checks, scans, procedures and constant monitoring. But it also introduced me to an incredible neurosurgery team and nurses who I’m convinced are actual angels sent to Earth.

And while something so terrifying was happening, there was so much love surrounding us. Flowers, cards, gifts, an astounding response to the GoFundMe helping with medical expenses and missed work, and an entire army of people who stepped in to love our sweet Ollie while he was without two of his girls.

I’m home now and sleeping about 95% of the day, which my brain and body desperately need. I have an MRI follow-up Friday, so please keep the good thoughts coming. For now, doctor’s orders are rest, rest and a little more rest. ❤️

Today was a 20 out of 10 rough day… but there were some beautiful, bright spots. Including getting a message from the Animal Rescue League of Boston who wasn’t sure how to shine some brightness into my world so they found these initial intake photos of sweet Ollie boy and his perfect cheekies from Dec 2017 and sent them to me to make my heart so happy, and boy did it work.

It’s been exactly one month without our girl today, and we absolutely know she is everywhere with us always and forever ✨but for now, Ollie’s young baby cheeks are giving me life.

If you wanna catch up on my brain aneurysm and what it’s like to spend 21 days in delirium in a corner of a hospital without any fresh air or sleeping more than an hour at a time, you’ve come to the right place. this is today August 18, 2026, and my goodness am I ready to go home and sleep in my own bed. This is not to say I haven’t had the best people, nurses, doctors, hospital staff cheering me through along every point of every day. And meow meow songs. But I am very ready to put the summer behind us. I’ll keep you updated, it sounds like there’s a small chance my next video might have some good news 🙏🫶
