Story
On August 21st, Krissy walked into work with shortness of breath and a coworker brought her to the ED. They found a mass on her chest and was admitted. August 23rd, Krissy had a Mediastinectomy, the first surgery of her life and then received the diagnosis of Hodgkins Lymphoma. On 9/6 she will meet with the oncologist for more tests and a treatment plan. She is optimistic, resilient and realistic about what their "new normal" will look like . How we can support her and the family will surely evolve during this new journey but she's overwhelmed with the kindness you have all shown. Thanks for the love, food, texts, rides, playdates and more! We will post updates as they come
