Jazmyne had another clinic visit this morning, and this time… we heard the words we have been praying, crying, and holding onto for so long:

It’s hard to even put into words what that moment felt like. After everything..the fear, the waiting, the unknown…those words felt like a deep breath we didn’t realize we had been holding onto for months.

Next Monday the 13th, Jazmyne will have surgery to remove her central line… something that once represented survival, but now symbolizes just how far she’s come. The following Monday the 20th, she’ll have a clinic visit for labs using her mediport and after that… we get to go home.

Home. 🏡

Once released Jazmyne care will soon transition from her transplant team back to an oncology team that is closer to home…a step that feels both comforting and surreal. We’re still working through the details, but it will likely involve weekly or bi-weekly visits as she continues to regain strength. Even so, her transplant team will remain part of her journey, with follow-up appointments every three months over the next year, decently a steady reminder of how far she’s come and the care that continues to surround her.

While this next chapter brings so much joy, we know we still have to be careful. Jazmyne’s immune system is healing, but not fully restored, so we’ll continue taking precautions and protecting her from crowds and unnecessary risks.

She’ll still come home with medications, but life is about to look so different. No more weekly dressing changes. No more wrapping her chest in saran wrap just to take a shower. And one of the sweetest gifts of all… she’ll finally get to just be a kid again.

Just in time for warmer weather—to jump in the pool, feel the water, and live freely in ways she hasn’t been able to for so long. And don’t even get me started on sleeping in our own beds, enjoying a home-cooked meal, and being surrounded by our fur babies 🐶 again.

This journey isn’t over, but this moment… it feels like a milestone we will never forget. A reminder that prayers are heard, that healing is happening, and that faith in God has carried us every step of the way.

“With all my heart and passion I will thank you, my God! I will give glory to your name, always and forever! You love me so much, and you have placed your greatness upon me. You rescued me from the deepest place of darkness, and you have delivered me from a certain death.”

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭86‬:‭12‬-‭13‬ ‭TPT‬‬
