Quick Health Update:
First off, I want to thank all of my clients who are patiently waiting on their mounts. Your continued understanding and support mean the world to my family and me as we navigate this challenging season.

It’s been a long couple of months, and unfortunately, we still don’t have answers about what caused my kidney failure. Every test the doctors have run has come back negative, leaving things a bit of a mystery for now.

Currently, I’m undergoing dialysis treatments at a clinic every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. While these treatments are absolutely necessary, they’ve significantly limited the amount of time I’m able to spend in the shop. On top of that, I’ve had several complications with my catheters, resulting in multiple surgeries over the past few weeks, further cutting into shop hours.

Despite all of this, we have been incredibly blessed. So many people have shown us kindness and support in ways big and small, and honestly, that’s what has carried us through. I’m overwhelmed with gratitude for the Lord’s provision through His people!

Through it all, my wife and children have been absolute troopers—handling the appointments, surgeries, and constant changes with grace and smiles on their faces.

I’ll do my best to keep everyone updated as things progress, and I can’t thank you enough for all the prayers and encouragement.

Each time I get the opportunity to paint a fish I start by spending time pouring over reference photos of the specimen as I attempt, rather inadequately, to come up with a game plan as to how in the world I’m going to try and replicate this incredibly intricate and beautiful piece of Gods creation. The tiny little details that most of the time we just overlook all of the sudden becomes a reminder of all the complexity and splendor that is in the creation that is all around us and the loving Father who took the time to create it for our enjoyment and His own glory! PS: the last few photos are my process of inadequately attempting to replicate something as simple as scales.

I’ve been continuously blown away at all the people who have reached out over the last couple of months since all of this stuff with my health started. The well-wishes, prayers, meals, and even financial help for my family has been both humbling and a Godsend for us as I haven’t been able to work like I normally do during all of this. Last week I got a call from my good friend, .louis82 who told me he along with , , and had put together a gun raffle to raise some money to help support my family and he was sending the proceeds my way. I don’t know that I expressed my gratitude sufficiently then and I just wanted to give a quick shout-out to Tim and and all those guys and thank y’all once again for everything you guys did… I appreciate it more than you know!!!

Update… so what started as a basic routine doctor visit turned into an ER trip and a long stay in the step down unit at the University of Oklahoma Medical Hospital and now as a few days ago outpatient dialysis. I have been diagnosed with an acute kidney injury and an enlarged heart that is currently pumping at half capacity. We still have no answers as to the cause of all this although it sounds like the doctors have ruled out a bunch of the common causes like diabetes, high blood pressure, and many of the common auto immune diseases. Currently the best guess is possibly a rare genetic factor but we await tests results for that still. The prognosis for now remains dialysis three days a week for 4-5 hours per day and then eventually possibly a transplant. There is a slim chance for some recovery of my kidney function with time so that would of course be my desire and prayer. All of this said my hours in the shop are going to be greatly affected for the foreseeable future and I would ask for additional patience from my clients as I navigate through all of this and find some kind of new normal. I have been both incredibly overwhelmed and blessed in a way I cant even describe by all the support and prayers for me and my family through all of this, I owe a huge thank you to everyone! I’ll keep y’all updated as we progress 🤙🏼
