On January 22, I underwent a six-hour surgery and am now recovering at home for the month of February. I am getting better day by day and deeply appreciate all the love, support, and prayers I have received. Chris has been diligently taking care of me, but it truly takes a village. We are grateful for everyone’s support, including the calls and visits, especially since I will be out for a month and am not yet at full capacity.

This is the perfect gift for any family or any loved one with medical needs. Send help to those you love to provide care in the form of a CVS e-gift card.
Why We Love This Gift: We love this gift because everyone has medical needs from time to time. Often, medical insurance with high deductibles eats into the ability of a family to cover unanticipated medical expenses. An e-gift card ensures that those you love get that which they need to heal - with adequate respect for their privacy. Perfect. This is very useful in any medical crisis in very specific ways. Supplements useful in various treatments are expensive and not covered. This is applicable to surgical patients, cancer patients, pediatric patients, and more. Medical equipment can be ordered - such as canes or walkers and your recipient can pay using their gift card.
What To Express in Your Card: What else do you need me to do? At the ready. xo
