Supporting Mom Through Her Recovery ❤️ Mom recently underwent open-heart surgery to repair her mitral valve and had a Maze procedure. What was expected to be a major surgery turned into a much longer and more complicated journey than any of us anticipated. She experienced significant complications afterward and spent time on life-supporting machines while her heart and body worked to recover. Thankfully, she has made incredible progress and is now beginning the next chapter of her recovery. She has a long road ahead, though, and she is still working on regaining her strength, mobility, and independence. Recovery from something this significant takes time, patience, and a lot of energy. Throughout all of this, our family has been incredibly grateful for the love, prayers, encouragement, and support that have surrounded Mom. ❤️ We’ve created this Give InKind page as a simple way for Mom’s friends and loved ones to help while she focuses on healing. One of the most helpful things right now is taking the responsibility of meals off her plate. Whether it’s having a meal delivered, dropping off something homemade, or helping with a meal for the family, every gesture makes a difference. More than anything, we want Mom to feel surrounded by the people who love her as she continues taking her recovery one day at a time. Thank you for being part of her village and for continuing to show her so much love. It means more to our family than we can put into words. ❤️
