Casey DeSantis
Florida First Lady Casey DeSantis held back tears as she addressed the media and attendees at a press conference at the University of Miami to announce $100 million in news cancer treatment funding for institutions around the state.
“To say he’s been by my side every step of the way, he literally has been,” said First Lady DeSantis as she opened her remarks. “He’s picked me up literally and figuratively throughout this process. He stood by me the entire time. He never missed a chemotherapy appointment —six of those.”
“Florida is going to lead the way to find a definitive cure once and for all for all types of cancer.”- First Lady Casey DeSantis
Mrs. DeSantis was flanked by her husband, Gov. Ron DeSantis, state lawmakers, Manny Diaz, Jr., Reps. Vance Alupis, Tom Fabricio, and Alex Rizo, healthcare providers, cancer survivors like herself.
“It’s a tough thing for a mama of three little babies to have to go through this,” DeSantis added.
Gov. DeSantis has kept Floridians up to speed about his wife’s condition as went through her treatment, saying that he was stepping up his daddy duties, something Mrs. DeSantis echoed during the press event.
Now, no specifics were given as to what exactly Gov. DeSantis did but considering that his kids are about the same age as my little terrors, we can only imagine that he was the one playing referee with the TV remote and bouncing back and forth between Cocomelon and Little Baby Bum, not to mention the annoying Blippi character that makes parents want to jump out of a 10-story building.
It is also safe to say the Governor probably had to do some overtime diaper duty and scrub the walls of chocolate-covered handprints and boogers. Yes, boogers.
What was he thinking?
