My face is naked!!!! NO MORE NASAL TUBE!!!!!!!!!!!!! Which means......ITS TIME TO (slowly) START ADVANCING AN ORAL DIET!!!!!!! #lifeisgood #donatelife #transplantwarrior

There’s a lot I could say about receiving this transplant 2.5 weeks ago and it’s recovery. This has been one of the hardest recoveries I’ve ever done but slowly each day I’m kicking ass. It’s hard to keep everyone updated individually so I apologize. Thank you to everyone who has prayed or reached out. They had to put the NG tube back in a week ago to drain my stomach, and it’s still in. Hopefully within the next few days it’ll come out. I also had to stop oral foods again at that time and go back on TPN. This isn’t a complication or set back, recovery takes time and everything is moving in the right direction!! There is one thing I wanted to take the chance to say. My surgeon appreciates my devoted family who has selflessly sacrificed there last few weeks to be here with me, but said that having family here or not doesn’t affect patient outcome. While he is a brilliant man that I greatly appreciate, I have to disagree with him. Having such a dedicated family constantly by my bedside has improved my mood, my fight, my strength- it goes on. Huge shoutout to my family for putting their lives on hold so I could better mine.#transplantwarrior #donatelife #intestinalfailure #intestinaltransplant #ngtube #tubie

When your transplant surgeon comes in with his team of staff and says that I've been one of the best transplants he's ever done 🙃😭😁 Dreams do come true. Changes can be made. These walls what we put up to hold us back will fall down. This is a revolution, the time has come so we can finally win. And we’re singing hallelujah 🧬🎤🎼 #intestinalfailure #intestinaltransplant #organrecipient #donatelife 💙💜🦋💜💙

To many this may not feel like a huge deal, but to me this is. For the first time in YEARA I have just taken a pill orally instead of crushing it and then subsequently pushing it down a tube they flew into me intestines. One small step for mankind, one HUGE step for Courtney. Everyday it amazes me what more and more I can and how much I was missing out on. Life is wonderful!! #intestinalfailure #instestinaltransplant #donatelife
