Calciphylaxis and CareA Son's Perspective on Love and Loss

When Garett Eversley’s mother was diagnosed with calciphylaxis—a rare, agonizing disease that turns small dots on the skin into wounds that never heal—his life changed in ways he never expected.

In this raw, deeply personal memoir, Garett walks through the shock of an unfamiliar diagnosis, the frustration of a medical system too often unprepared to recognize this condition, and the quiet strength he found in family, faith, and love during the hardest season of his life.

Part tribute, part advocacy, Calciphylaxis and Care: A Son’s Perspective on Love and Loss honors a mother’s enduring legacy while shining a light on a disease that disproportionately affects African American women and remains dangerously under-diagnosed.
