One of the things we are working on right now for Clemson Bridge is Braelyn’s placement testing — reading, writing, and math.
I knew this would be hard for her.
Over the last few months alone, she has endured two brain surgeries and is currently undergoing radiation. Her brain is healing, inflamed, exhausted, and trying to recover while still being asked to do very normal “18-year-old” things.
So for the last couple of weeks, I’ve been gently preparing her:
“Don’t get discouraged. We’ll figure it out together.”
Yesterday, we started with math.
Basic arithmetic. Story problems. Multiplying and dividing fractions.
Honestly, I had to dust the cobwebs off my own brain too. 😂
I made her a times table to refer to, and we worked through the problems side by side. And as we worked, I could see little sparks starting to ignite again.
I knew we weren’t starting from ground zero.
I knew she had mastered these skills once before.
This morning, she opened a reading/writing practice test on her own while I watched quietly from a distance.
And then she started crying.
I expected it.
There were paragraphs to read, grammar corrections, sentence restructuring, organization questions — so many words to process all at once.
I immediately told her:
“I know, Honey. I get it. That’s a lot right now. But you WILL get there. You’ve done it before and you will do it again. In the meantime, we will do this together.”
So I read the passages aloud while she followed along, and we worked through the questions together.
A little later, during the time she normally takes a nap after radiation, I noticed she had quietly opened the practice tests again on her own.
That moment hit me hard.
Because this is what resilience really looks like sometimes.
Not big speeches.
Not dramatic victories.
Just a tired teenage girl whose brain has been through unimaginable trauma… choosing to keep trying anyway.
She knows her brain is slower right now. That frustrates her deeply because before all of this, she was incredibly sharp and quick-witted.
But those pieces of her are still there.
And I believe with everything in me that they are finding their way back. 💜

Tomorrow is surgery… and Everly is scared.💔
Her family heard the words no parent is ever ready for:
“It’s a tumor.”
Not about someone else’s child. Not about another family. About their little Everly.
She doesn’t fully understand what’s happening, but she can feel it… the heaviness in the room, the worried faces, the soft careful voices.
And behind those small eyes is fear… courage… and a silent wish for all of this to just go away.
Before she goes into surgery, she just needs to know one thing:
She is not alone. ❤️
When life hits this hard, prayers become armor. Love becomes strength. And God becomes the shelter a family runs to when their knees are shaking.
God doesn’t always take the storm away right away… but He stays with us in the middle of it.
Everly needs prayers. Her family needs strength. And this little fighter needs to feel surrounded from every side.

Happy Heavenly 28th birthday to our Luke. His first birthday cake and his last. I cried all night on his 21st, knowing that could be his last. Exactly 2 months later, pronounced terminal. I know there is quite a party going on up there. Enjoy it, Luke. #LiveLikeluke

@METhompson72 Legit seems low for a platform that will be able to treat all solid tumor cancers

@memestocked My only two plays. If you’re not in NWBO I don’t know what to tell you

@METhompson72 @Flyfishing15331 I’m betting you’re correct

$NWBO - Northwest Biotherapeutics
I spent 6 months due diligence on this pick, then went large.
I have met with all the management and visited the Sawston manufacturing plant twice.
I had oncologists and neurologists review their clinical data.
I am betting that the tech is real, it’s is transformative, it is applicable to all solid tumours and cancers.
I am betting that it will receive regulatory approval.
I am betting that the shorts are screwed.
