Home. Discharged and recovering.

My jaw is wired shut, but my mission is wide open.

Update: Hospital discharge! My right fibula is now my new jaw. I’m nonverbal and tube-fed for now, but I am filled with more gratitude than ever.

To my "found family": You are my backbone. To the injustice in this world: I am coming for you.

Living with Phantom Bone Disease means I don't just survive—I persevere. I was chosen for this path to be a light for those in the dark. Resilience is my superpower.
