January 2021 I got a call from my Mom that she wasn't feeling well. A couple of days later a positive test confirmed it was Covid, and things seemed to spiral from there.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ A week after her positive test, she only seemed to be getting worse. One evening I called to check on her and she sounded like she was struggling just to breath, and seemed confused. Thankfully my Stepdad was driving her to the hospital.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ My heart dropped. When I hung up the phone I just started bawling.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ All these things went through my head, so many things can happen in life and some we can never prepare for. I feel losing a parent is one of them. I was so afraid I was going to lose her.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ I talked to my Mom every day, I tried to be strong and positive but I cried every time we hung up. I felt so helpless. All I could do was pray and call her as much as I could.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ While in the hospital she did improve, after a week the Doctor said they were going to discharge her. Even though her oxygen was at 89% there wasn't much else they could do to treat her, and they couldn't send her home with oxygen because the insurance would only approve it if oxygen levels are below 89% (go freakin figure).⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ I felt so nervous, I wished she could have another day or two but the Doctor's did what they thought was best and my Mom agreed.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Once she went home, she still struggled. Her oxygen levels is what worried us the most and her fever. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Still...we talked every day. She talked to Livey to help keep her spirits up. I was in awe of how positive my Mom was the whole time and how strong her faith was that she would be ok.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Almost 2 weeks later she was still struggling with her breathing and was thinking of going back to the hospital. None of us wanted that to happen. So her Naturopathic Doctor had her start taking some herbs to help treat her lungs.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ I truly believe if not for those and the vitamins they told my Mom to take in the hospital, she would've gone right back in.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ She was sick for 28 days and had a fever for 18. It was one of the scariest experiences I know so many of us have had to go through.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Continued in comments...
My Mom started the baking tradition with me when I was little and I'm so excited to continue on that tradition with my own daughter.💞⁣ ⁣ We got to make and decorate shortbread cookies, and banana bread. Liv liked mixing things, had a blast decorating cookies with her Nani, and of course eating everything.😆⁣ ⁣ Such special moments that I'm so grateful for.⁣ ⁣ #christmascookies #holidaybaking #familytime #tradition #memories
Our first official snow day!❄️⛄️ #winterishere
We took our first trip to the park this past weekend. We saw lots of ducks and geese, and Liv loved playing on the playground. She wanted to go down the biggest slide by herself. The more adventurous she gets, the more nervous I feel!😬 #adventuresinreno #parkday
It's official! After lots of planning and what felt like one of the longest journeys ever, we are now residents of Nevada!😆🤍 #wemoved #newzipcode #reno #nevada #newbeginnings
Congratulations Mr and Mrs Alonzo.💞 We're so happy to be part of your day. May you both be blessed with love and happiness always.
Pumpkin Patch 2021🧡🤎 ⁣ #fallishere #welovefall #pumpkinpatch #pumpkinseverywhere
When you go out of town to visit family and your hubby can't come because he has to work, but then he shows up at your parent's doorstep with a dozen roses, and says "Get dressed we're going on a date, your Mom's watching the baby. Happy Anniversary babe." Now that's true love.🌹⁣ ⁣ After 9 years together and 3 years married you still find ways to surprise me in the most special way. You still give me butterflies and make my heart skip a beat, and even though we drive each other crazy sometimes, I wouldn't want to be living this beautiful life without you.⁣ ⁣ Happy Anniversary babe. Thank you for being so amazing, and always showing up for me. You're so special, I love you forever.❤️ ⁣ #itsouranniversary #9yearstogether #3yearsmarried #iloveyou
Today marks the start of Latinx/Hispanic Heritage Month. From September 15th to October 15th we celebrate the history, contributions, and influence each of these cultures have had in America.⁣ ⁣ Growing up a 5th generation Mexican American I often felt disconnected from my Latin roots. We never took trips to visit family in Mexico, Spanish wasn't spoken in my home, and I felt a fear that we weren't being "Mexican" enough or "American" enough, rather then embracing who I was.⁣ ⁣ It wasn't until my early 20's that I truly began to understand my family's history. My Nana told me when she first started school they weren't allowed to speak Spanish at all, and would be slapped with rulers on their hand if they were caught saying even one word in Spanish.⁣ ⁣ I realized the disconnect from our Latin roots was mostly about survival. My grandparents wanted their children to succeed in America, and at the time it meant learning and speaking English well.⁣ ⁣ As my family generations have grown, we speak English well, but for me, my Spanish is very choppy and I'm often feel self conscious when I try to speak it.⁣ ⁣ It wasn't until I met my husband Eric that I truly felt an encouragement to reconnect with this deeper part of myself that I always felt was missing.⁣ ⁣ His childhood was very different from mine. Spanish was spoken in his home and he would visit Mexico often. He was familiar with his Latin roots and knows where his family comes from.⁣ ⁣ Once we had our daughter we both agreed that it's important for us to teach her not only who she is as a Mexican American, but to also teach her what was slowly lost in my generation, and that's to speak Spanish.⁣ ⁣ My hope is for her to not feel disconnected in who she is, to embrace it a lot sooner then I did, and to have knowledge about her Latin roots.⁣ ⁣ We are starting a new generation where the Spanish language comes back strong, she's able to connect with her family in Mexico, and isn't afraid to be who she is.⁣ ⁣ ¡Vamos a Celebrar!❤️⁣ ⁣ 📷: @lexlisettephotos⁣ ⁣ #Latinxheritagemonth #Hispanicheritagemonth #Latinroots #Mexicanamerican #Latinas #ProudLatina
