Shane Dawson and Ryland Adams went the surrogacy route this last year. Their Boys were born in December of 23 and live in CA if you are not familiar with them. They went over the major points and procedures, but since they are a Gay Wedded Couple you can imagine the hate they get. So their videos did not go into some of the details, sadly - as their journey would benefit so many. But I get boundaries are key when you are a creator. Anyway... think about contacting them, it never hurts to have info.

[@Sunsbuns]

I remember seeing you on clever tv in elementary school. I got my big girl job and finished my master's recently. Oh how the times have changed. Thank you for being transparent about your journey. Sending you love

Emily! Thank you for saying that! I was hoping to bring that "hangout" energy to this! Honestly, it's so nice to do these because I don't have to lay on my couch for hours recovering from all the random snacks I eat! lol!! I hope your AI disorders are not causing to you too many aches and pains!

Sending love to you and your family. I really appreciate your videos like these where you are transparent about the good and sad things that happen in life. We all want to be able to support you, but these videos also make life feel real. Thank you for being brave to share, because it makes all of us not feel alone.

[@ErinRobinson]

All of us are all going through something at the same time. It just all looks different! I have, and always will be, open to sharing the things that I walk through

[@MelissaMarini]

Erin, I so appreciate your candidness. My heart is with you and your family since grief is a nonstop roller coaster. Sometimes it feels like you are coasting and finally have a grip on things and then you plunge into the depths of it just to pull yourself up again. You, my dear, are so emotionally strong to not only share your personal stories, but to also understand others have their own too. We all would be better off if everyone else in the world also had this outlook. As for your hair loss, your autoimmune illnesses are playing a huge role in that along with the stress. Also, every single time you had COVID you upped the hair loss. I have autoimmune diseases too and my hair loss was so, so then and after having COVID just once my hair loss has remained absolutely horrifying. I lose clumps of hair daily. My hair was always fine, yet thick, but it is so thin now. I have tried so many vitamins and supplements, but I do not absorb them well. I have found certain hair masks helpful. I really like making a coffee grounds one with coconut oil. I also use a charcoal one from Maui Moisture, but it was discontinued and I only sporadically find it in Ollie's stores now. I also make my own rice water to spray my hair and sit with it so my ends, especially, heal. Also, to maybe help Matt out; dry mouth spray! I imagine he is breathing through his mouth only right now.

[@michelecoler9496]

So happy you are finding your way through all of the health issues. How ever you become parents - the child/children will be blessed.

[@ErinRobinson]

I think we would be pretty cool parents, TBH!

My husband had a septoplasty - he said it was one of the worst surgeries he ever went through. Good luck Matt! He ate a lot of mashed potatoes!! He said once the packing came out if felt so amazing. Just get through the first 3-4 days

[@ErinRobinson]

I have heard this EXACT feedback from so many! THANK YOU! I made a mashed potato, carrot and chicken mash and so far that's been one of the few things he can eat easily. I wasn't prepared for how much blood would be draining from his nose constantly!!!

Losing people around the holidays is so traumatizing. I lost my mama a few days before Christmas many years ago, and Christmas was always my favorite. Since then, I've had a pretty complicated relationship with the holiday. I've accepted that I'm not the same person I was before, and there are new ways I can observe the holidays. I've had to adjust quite a bit and always have an exit strategy. It's never going to be completely joyful, but that's allowed me to find new ways to love it and find meaning in other things.

[@ErinRobinson]

I feel this so much. I am trying to figure out my new Christmas "normal" and I am taking it year by year now. Hoping to come up with new traditions and things that feel almost unrelated so I can moderate the hurt

[@almameeker5797]

@@ErinRobinson I’ve found the best thing is really indulging in the spirit of the season. Getting away from the stuff and more towards the meaning and magic. I love volunteering. I cook, but differently than I used to. I have blue lights instead of the gaudy stuff I used to love. I even got a tree that’s very austere and just lights-which is my favorite. It seems to fully encompass my feelings while still being beautiful. I really try to only engage with people I love and I listen to a lot of the Charlie Brown soundtrack bc it’s sorta moody and sad and lets me get my grief out.

[@lyndao320]

My Mom passed away a week before Thanksgiving and my Dad passed two weeks before Christmas. The holidays are extra tough and are forever changed.

[@ErinRobinson]

I feel this so deeply, Lynda. I think getting older and losing people you love only helps you want to leave this world one day when your time is up...because if everyone we loved was still here, we'd never want to leave. Knowing we get to see them all on the other side just allows me peace about going to heaven one day

I lost my late husband 4 days before Christmas in 2012. It took years before I rediscovered my joy in the holidays.

[@ErinRobinson]

Aimee.....THIS IS SO HARD. I feel like you might have shared this before on one of my past videos? Regardless, I am so sorry. I know you get it. It's just the worst kind of pain.

[@aimeeparrott9204]

@@ErinRobinson I think I did mention it before. Thanks for your kind words. Losing someone you love is always hard. Grief sucks and it's such hard work just to get through the days.

[@DanielleLegacy]

Love the way you describe the Christmas tree situation. So true that we all have our "Christmas trees," and that makes it all the more important to treat others kindly and give them grace. 🤍 You never know what someone is going through or what they're dealing with behind the scenes.

[@ErinRobinson]

It's true. I never feel this more than when I am driving slowly, and transporting Matt from his surgeries and people are so angry because I'm not driving fast enough not knowing I have someone super unwell in the back. Makes me think less bad things about slow drivers myself!

Biopsy is not bad. Nerves are normal. Procedure itself is pretty fast and the pinch is real. It will be over before you know it. Have gone through it twice. Not my favorite thing to do but depending on the issue you’re going for sooner is better and you’ll be relieve when it’s done.

Hey Erin! I got a breast biopsy done at the end of 2021. The pain on the table wasn’t bad. They numb the area. I had an MRI guided one. The pain after the numbness wore off was crazy but they give you an ice pack. I would use it. And when they tell you not to lift anything don’t. That’s when it hurt the most for me.

I had a Christmas tree up in my living room year round for 6 years. When I first put it up I was the happiest I had ever been and the tree was decorated so beautifully, I worried that if I took it down I would lose that feeling I felt. After 6 years I had to take it down because I was moving to a new place and I was sad to have to pack it all away, I wanted to keep it pristine like it had always been.

I just wanted to say thank you Erin. Me and my partner have been wanting to start a family for a few years now but like you, I may not be able to carry my own pregnancy due to high risk of serious complications due to lifelong health issues (still going through tests/procedures to figure it out) so we may have to look into adoption or surrogacy. I have wanted to carry my own child for as long as I can remember so the idea that I may not get that experience is so difficult and heartbreaking.

I’ve done 2 ivf retrievals and did find a lump after the 2nd. Had a biopsy and all came back normal. Honestly, the mammogram hurt more than the biopsy. If health concerns weren’t there, I would do another retrieval but just don’t think I want to put my body through it. We were so lucky to have our Son after 3 losses and we are about to try transferring our last embryo however, this one came back inconclusive on the pgt so we’re not super hopeful. Did you do testing on your embryos? If you did, I feel like 4 is a solid number to move forward with.

[@ErinRobinson]

We did do testing and they're all pretty good in terms of grading, and I kind of agree. Four feels like a good number but I feel like it Matt's new employer offers it for free I might not be able to pass it up. I certainly do not want to go through it all again, though, that is for SURE

Have you checked your progesterone? I highly suggest a functional wellness doctor. That is huge with fertility. I am currently on my journey to baby too. I love watching you and I pray that your health journey can end with a happy healthy pregnancy and sweet bundle of joy!

[@ErinRobinson]

Thank you! My issue isn't that I can't get pregnant (I.e taking progesterone), it's that my uterus is not in a place to safely carry to term!!

[@camillesowle8200]

Have you heard of fragrances having an effect on the reproductive system? I would really stay away from all fragrance not just perfumes. Risk is you go without smelly stuff for a few months and the reward is a successful pregnancy! Sending you the best of luck and a bucket of love 💕

COTTAGE CHEESE! soft and high in protein! And you can make a tonnn of things and use a cottage cheese base to add the extra protein to things

[@ErinRobinson]

Love this rec!!! I feel like I never have cottage cheese around and I feel like I am always missing out

My dad died this last May. He was only 77. It was his birthday recently and I miss him so much. The first Father's Day without him was rough.

For soft foods with protein, refried beans! You can add salsa, cheese or whatever he likes

[@ErinRobinson]

We did this!!! And it was a great option! Thank you for the recommendation!

Soundin' like a crazy journey. Hoping you're getting a chance to come up for air every so often, you're a freaking fighter. Trick for that sleep issue (because I have it too) tart cherry juice and chamomile tea before you go to bed. It's been a knockout. Also, Benji LOL is that name based off of that movie by any chance?

[@ErinRobinson]

So, I have done a LOT of sleep research (even tried some hacks here on my channel that I like) but I have never tried cherry juice!!!!! And yes, I loved that movie growing up!

[@TreyMcDonaldAnimator]

It's wild how well it works! It's supposed to increase melatonin and tryptophan levels and all you need is a cup. Hopefully it helps! And I love that, it's the best name for a dog next to Lassie.

[@ErinRobinson]

@@TreyMcDonaldAnimator I need to try this hack. Thank you for sharing!!!!

Erin, I have had two breast biopsies. It was not bad at all. The worst part is the smashing, much like a mammogram just for a longer amount of time.

[@ErinRobinson]

Ugh, did they give you any anti-anxiety medication??

[@margiewalker1808]

@@ErinRobinson No, nothing but a local.

[@margiewalker1808]

@@ErinRobinson I do have a high pain tolerance. I actually found you originally because of the video on fibroids, that got me watching Clever Style. Hope all goes well with the biopsies. Wishing you the best.

Peanut butter, scrambled eggs! Happy healing and fingers crossed for Erin :). Honestly, I watch any vido you post - you are amazing!

[@ErinRobinson]

We tried scrambled eggs and I think they’re too thick! I’m basically blending up chicken now to see if that helps

[@jessicalim2764]

Soft high protein foods for Matt: bone broth (love Kettle & Fire or Trader Joe’s), cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, eggs, tofu, hummus…

[@ErinRobinson]

Love these recs! We tried eggs and they were still too tough for him but broth and hummus we are stocked up on! Trying to wait until he gets his packing out to dip into the dairy category but that's tomorrow afternoon!

[@katetomlinson1638]

Erin, I know it’s super invasive and I assume your husband isn’t a huge fan of being on cam, but ugh my husband has a cyst pilodontal or something idk bottom of his spine, it’s painful only when sitting a ton, but he would rather die, If you could give the most basic rundown of the aftercare and his pain levels after surgery would be so insightful

[@ErinRobinson]

Hi! Yes!!! Okay, so this world is SO wild and there are several different approaches to their "removal" so I think it depends on which doctor you go to. A lot of people get them "removed" but it's really just an in-office procedure where it's cut and drained but that is usually temporary and it's a pretty painful procedure. It can also literally grow back within a month. Pretty much the only way to get rid of it is going in for an outpatient surgery where they remove all of the tunnels (it's literally similar to sinus cavities in your nose). It has been a tough recovery. Matt has only been laying on his sides or standing for weeks. No sitting and no laying on his back. His doc says he can sit a little and lay on it a little but it's too uncomfortable for him. It will take several months before he will know how much better he feels, but we're hopeful. His was uncomfortable before this, but really the real reason we had it removed is because it made him EXTREMELY exhausted. Like he would have to take a nap everyday. I bought him a pregnancy pillow, and it has helped him sleep. I also have one of those massage guns to massage his hips because they get sore being in the same position. The pain was moderate for the first few days (honestly, the sore throat from surgery seemed to be his biggest complaint), but it is hard to get comfortable so he would take prescription pain meds at night to help him sleep. The good news is the "care" is very minimal. No need to remove packing or apply ointments etc...Let me know if you have any other questions. Happy to help! I am also thinking about doing a little Amazon store for it with all of the things we used to get him through that!
