Sometimes the day doesnât go as planned. Raegan was supposed to host a weekend sleepover with her bestie, but it was cancelled due to unforeseeable circumstances. Instead of letting the disappointment take over, we chose joy. We kept our plans â a movie date, a mini shopping spree at Five Below, and dinner at her favorite restaurant. She had an absolute blast. Choosing joy, making the best of the day, and creating memories anyway.

Raegan had a dentist appointment last Wednesday, and she was so nervous going in. New places, new people, new procedures â itâs a lot for any child, but especially for one who carries so much medically.
What most people donât see is how long it took just to get here. Months of advocating⌠months of pushing for the right referral⌠months of making sure she could be seen by a dentist who specializes in medically complex children. Sickle Cell alone qualifies her for specialized care, but with liver disease also affecting gum health, it was even more important to get her to the right place.
And it finally happened.
The appointment went better than she expected â better than either of us expected. She was brave, she was patient, and she walked out smiling. Sheâll have a few followâup visits to correct some minor issues, but overall, it was a good day. A win. A reminder that advocacy matters, and that our kids deserve providers who understand their full medical picture.
Proud of her. Always.

Advocating for a medically complex child takes strength, softness, and a whole lot of heart. Iâve learned that caring for Raegan means caring for myself too â setting boundaries, protecting my peace, and celebrating the small wins that keep us going. Your child doesnât need a perfect advocate; they need you, grounded, supported, and standing in your strength. đđŚ
Raegan has always loved books, but this moment right here⌠this one hits differently. At just 3 years old, sheâs reading a beginnerâs book about sickle cell disease â the very condition sheâs been fighting since birth.
Watching her read out the words, turn the pages, and stay so focused felt like a fullâcircle moment. Sheâs learning about her own body, her own story, in a way thatâs gentle and ageâappropriate. And sheâs doing it with confidence.
She doesnât fully understand everything yet â and she shouldnât have to at her age â but seeing her engage with a book created for kids like her made my heart swell. Representation matters. Understanding matters. And moments like this remind me just how bright her little light shines.
Proud of her doesnât even begin to cover it.

Spring break feels like the perfect time to slow down and give Raegan a change of scenery, so we took a little trip to a local farmâs storefront this week. Fresh air, local foods, and a chance to explore at her own pace â all the things that make her light up.
Raegan loves food. Truly loves it. And as sheâs grown, her body has made it clear that plantâbased eating just isnât sustainable for her anymore. The foods she would need to stay nourished â beans, nuts, seeds â are the very things she can no longer tolerate. So weâve shifted with her, without guilt or pressure, and embraced what does work for her.
Her favorites? Chicken wings⌠and well, youâll see the rest in the video.
Watching her choose foods she enjoys and can actually tolerate feels like a small but meaningful win â one more way weâre creating joy on purpose, even in the simplest moments.

New on the blog: Creating Joy on Purpose.
As Raeganâs world has shifted with sickle cell Anemia and Liver Disease involving her mobility challenges, my focus as her caregiver has shifted too. Iâve learned that the most meaningful thing I can give her isnât more âstuffâ â itâs experiences. Memories. Moments that remind her she is more than her diagnoses.
This blog is about choosing joy intentionally, even when life feels heavy. Itâs about why experiences matter so deeply for medically complex kids, and how they help expand a world that pain and fatigue often try to shrink.
If youâre a caregiver, parent, or anyone walking a hard road with a child you love, I hope this encourages you the way writing it encouraged me.
Soursop tea has been cherished for generations â and now itâs part of the Adore Rae wellness collection. This calming, antioxidantârich herbal tea is known for its smooth flavor and soothing properties.
From traditional use across the Caribbean, Africa, and South America to modern research highlighting its natural plant compounds, soursop tea is a beautiful way to bring balance and intention into your day.
Lately Iâve been talking a lot about surrender â not the kind that feels peaceful, but the kind that forces you to release what you canât control so you can focus on what truly matters. And for me, the âwhat mattersâ has become clearer than ever.
The goal has always been to create memories with Raegan and for her. But now, that goal feels more urgent, more intentional, more sacred. I canât change the pain she experiences. I canât control the medical challenges that come with sickle cell anemia or liver disease. But I can shape her world in ways that invite joy, discovery, and new experiences.
The next step in that journey is getting her more mobile â even if that means using equipment to make it happen. She has an upcoming appointment to be fitted for a custom wheelchair, and honestly, it feels like a doorway opening. This chair will give her accessibility to life again. It will let us do simple things like grocery shopping without the stress of how. It will help us get out of the house more. It will give her the chance to explore, to experience, to live.
From a material standpoint, Raegan has everything a little girl could want. But the things I want to give her now canât be wrapped in a box. I want to give her moments. Adventures. Memories that remind her she is more than her diagnoses. Experiences that bring joy to counterbalance the suffering she didnât ask for.
Surrendering isnât giving up â itâs shifting my energy toward what I can build. And right now, Iâm building a life full of moments sheâll carry forever.

đź Caregiverâs Corner â The Reality of Getting Out the Door
This Wednesday for Caregiverâs Corner, Raegan and I just needed some time out of the house. If youâve been following our journey, you know sheâs been battling an AVN flare in her hips from sickle cell, which makes walking without assistance incredibly painful. On top of that, hepatopulmonary syndrome affects her endurance, so even short outings take planning, patience, and prayer.
Weâre so grateful to have been gifted a temporary collapsible wheelchair â itâs given her a little more mobility and freedom. But the next challenge is one I didnât fully appreciate until now: the stairs. Rotating her hips to get down them causes extreme pain that can leave her in bed for days with strong pain meds and heating pads. Iâve tried carrying her, but sheâs simply too heavy for me to lift safely anymore.
So the only option left is to carefully wheel her up and down the stairs to and from the car. I do my best, but I donât always get it right. Iâm learning as I go.
Todayâs video shows the real physical struggle of pulling her wheelchair up the stairs. We were almost at the top when the release latch caught a step â I was holding the chair too low â and it started to fold. Donât worry, Raegan is okay. I laid the chair down before it collapsed and helped her stand. What started as a jarring, scary moment somehow turned into laughter once we cleared the danger. Thatâs just who she is.
And while it may take months before her customized wheelchair is ready, I am so eager for that appointment. She deserves equipment that fits her body and a home thatâs modified to make life safer, easier, and less stressful for both of us.
This is the part of caregiving people donât always see â the physical strain, the problemâsolving, the fear, the humor, the resilience, the love. Weâre figuring it out one step, one stair, one moment at a time.

I just published a new blog on AdoreRae.com about something many families living with sickle cell hear about and live with: Avascular Necrosis (AVN).
AVN is one of the most painful and common orthopedic complications of sickle cell anemia â and itâs something Raegan has been navigating in her hips for almost a year now. Her pain comes and goes, sometimes lasting days or weeks, sometimes disappearing without warning. And while sheâs been prescribed every conservative treatment available, surgery isnât on the table yet.
In this blog, I break down what AVN actually is, how common it is in sickle cell disease, the joints it affects most, and the typical treatments doctors use to manage it. I also share how this journey has looked for Raegan â the hard days, the small victories, and everything in between.
If youâre a caregiver, a parent, or someone wanting to understand sickle cell more deeply, I hope this helps you feel informed and supported.

Adore Rae is founded in Love as tribute to a little girl named Raegan. In 2015, Raegan was born with Sickle Cell Anemia (type SS).
Raeganâs battle began shortly after her 1st birthday when she experienced her first Sickle Cell crisis. From her first crisis, the effect of Sickle Cell grew progressively worse causing her to have 4 hospital stays and countless doctor appointments in an attempt to gain better control of her physical pain. At the climax of Raeganâs suffering, this terrible disease would leave her in unbearable pain and unable to walk or function as a normal 1 year old. Additionally, her pain would only be manageable with harsh narcotics.
After 6 to 8 weeks with no improvement in the amount of Sickle Cell crisis Raegan endured, her hemoglobin specialist advised the only option to try to decrease (NOT CURE) her crisis was to introduce her to a chemotherapy medication. He went over the warnings & possible side effects. The instruction to, âwear glovesâ & âto be sure not to spill any on the skinâ stood out the most. Raeganâs parents refused this treatment and searched for other options.
A close family member suggested Dr. Sebi. After listening to videos of the healer himself, researching his products, & finding out that they are 100% natural plant based ingredients Raeganâs parents decided to give it a shot. The results for her are life changing. Raegan has & continues to inspire those around her.
Adore Rae is founded in Love. Our mission is to continue spreading Love through food & drink by way of the Alkaline Vegan Lifestyle. We believe it is our duty to make all things naturally alkaline more accessible by providing products, information, & support.
