📢 9/17/25 Noon Update:
After talking to the neurological team and pediatrician they believe it was an intense Migraine that took its major toll on her body. Our job from here on out is to educate her on this and what to be aware of in case it happens again. In Oklahoma, under intense stress, I would have such bad Migraines I couldn't do anything for days at a time. I haven't had them since we moved to Wyoming so it never occurred to me to look there. Praying this is our answer and that we can keep her good from here on out. Thanks to everyone for your support and prayers. Our kids are our world and want nothing more than for them to live happy and healthy.
🌟 Update on Gracien & Our Family 🌟
Dear Custom4Me2 friends and Radiant family,
I want to sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused on Wednesday the 17th for all of my clients and Radiant Cheer & Gymnastics groups. We were only able to notify a few people as we were swept into an unexpected whirlwind.
Tuesday evening, I received an emergency call about our daughter, Gracien. When I reached her, she was pale, cold, continuously vomiting, and barely responsive. She couldn’t walk, talk, or move. A friend had to carry her to my car, and we immediately contacted emergency services.
She was first taken to Kimball Hospital, where initial tests were run. They quickly determined her condition was more serious than they could manage and transferred her to Cheyenne. After further testing—including a spinal tap—Cheyenne also felt unequipped and sent us to Denver Children’s Hospital.
We are still in Colorado, undergoing extensive testing to understand what caused this sudden decline. While we don’t yet have answers, we are finally seeing daily improvements. Gracien is more responsive, has eaten, and even smiled at us—a moment that made every sleepless mile worth it.
Her vitals have been slowly improving:
- Heart rate has risen from the 40s/50s to the 60s/70s.
- Blood pressure has climbed from the 80s/90s over 40s/50s to the low 100s.
- She’s still on IV fluids, but we’re hopeful for manual hydration today.
- Brain wave tests were done overnight and looked good, and she’ll have an MRI today.
We’ve been running on pure love and adrenaline—over 200 miles, three hospitals, and no rest for three days. But we’d march through fire for our children’s peace. I’ve canceled all appointments and classes for the rest of the week to stay by her side.
Please keep our sweet girl in your prayers. She means the world to us, and we’re clinging to every small victory—every smile, every moment of recognition, every sign of healing. We praise God for each milestone and trust in His grace to carry us through.
Thank you for your love, patience, and prayers. 💜🙏 I will send updates as they come. I appreciate everyone's patience through this and will resume back to business as soon as we know our girl is good. 👍💗🙏
