On January 8, 2026, Destiny shared a heartbreaking and urgent update about her son, JJ — a reminder that healing is rarely a straight path and that hope is often tested in the most painful ways.
After what seemed like encouraging signs of progress, new and frightening complications emerged. Blood was discovered in JJ’s mouth tube and later in his urine, sending waves of fear through his care team and family. As doctors worked to understand the cause, additional concerns arose about a vein connected to his heart that may not be functioning as it should.
To address this, physicians have scheduled a catheter procedure in hopes of opening the vein and improving blood flow. While the plan offers a glimmer of hope, uncertainty still looms, and the outcome remains unknown.
As if that weren’t enough, JJ experienced a severe breathing episode that required immediate intervention. He had to be sedated and given muscle relaxers to stabilize his condition — a terrifying moment no parent should ever have to witness. Watching her child struggle to breathe was another emotional blow in an already exhausting journey.
Yet through every setback, Destiny continues to cling to hope. Her updates are filled not only with fear, but with faith — faith that JJ is stronger than these challenges, and faith that healing is still possible. She prays for strength, for wisdom for the doctors, and for her son’s body to respond to the care he is receiving.
The road ahead remains unclear. There are no guarantees, no easy answers, and no timelines. But one thing is certain: JJ is surrounded by relentless love, unwavering prayers, and a mother who refuses to stop fighting for him.
In the midst of uncertainty, Destiny’s faith stands as a quiet but powerful force — a reminder that even when the path forward is dark, love and hope can still light the way.
🙏💙
