As some of you might know, my mom has been fighting numerous health issues for over 10+ years. Most recently, she was told she was a candidate for a procedure called Renal Denervation. Only a handful have been performed at her hospital, UCSD, and this year she is only the 2nd one to have had this done at UCSD. The procedure had gone well – lowering my mom’s BP (blood pressure) readings in less than 12 hours versus the usual weeks that has been normal over the past 10+ years, but because of that her body is in shock and causing other underlying issues to flare up which physically and mentally has taken a toll on my mom. She has been one of the strongest people I know, but we all need a lot of love and support and I know that our family would appreciate that, especially with Lex and me (Dru) not being nearby. Contributing to a meal train for my mom would be an extreme help for her and Hector (has to work), and I know that not only will that conserve her energy, but be given energy through the love of food, which we all know she loves, from her loved ones. Thank you to all my mom’s friends and loved ones, sending love back!
