Mary is feeling her best in nearly a year following her last surgery at the Mayo clinic. She is very comforted by the fact that she is off antibiotics and regaining more strength and energy every day. She and I spend a great Thanksgiving week together starting off in Baton Rouge then to Natchitoches for a one of our friend's wedding. We then drove over to Dallas and spent Thanksgiving with my family at my sisters house. It was great to see my family (especially Farrah my two year old niece) and it was wonderful to have some of the old Mary back in full sprites. She was enthusiastic, smiling, and full of life, it was really great to see her in true form.
I want to thank all of you who have donated to this site. It means the world to me that you all care so much. Mary was very touched by the gesture and we will be thinking of a way to thank you all soon.
Mary has one last surgery to go at the Mayo Clinic. The surgery is not the best timing but she wanted to get it over with as soon as possible so she could begin life again. The surgery is December 23 at the Mayo Clinic which means she will be in the hospital for Christmas. Her Dad and I will be there with her but it will still be a bummer to be in the hospital over Christmas.
Have a happy holiday and keep Mary in your thoughts this Christmas,
-LM
