Thank you to everyone who has checked on Mom throughout today while she was having a 8 hour Back Surgery!! She is out of surgery and in recovery. Surgery went great so now is just the very long healing process❤️

For those who would love to send get well gifts or help her with this long recovery that she has I have created a Give-In-Kind page for her! Here you can request meal drop-offs, send flowers, &amp; send get well gifts! This link also allows you to send messages to her where she can see all the things you want to say to her while she recovers and she can read on her own time❤️

<p>What is the best gift anytime? A Target eGift Card. With no fees and no expiration dates, the real question is: who couldn't use a gift card from Target?</p>
<p><strong>Why We Love This Gift: </strong>Whether as a baby gift or to replenish supplies around the house, to cheer up a sick kid, or help someone with prescription costs, you can almost always find exactly what you need at Target. We love this gift because it enables your recipient with endless options and the ability to purchase precisely what they need - no questions asked.</p>
<p><strong>What To Say In Your Card:</strong> I thought this might come in handy. I am sending you so much love!</p>

<p>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.</p>
<p><strong>Why We Love This Gift:</strong> 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.</p>
<p><strong>What To Express in Your Card:</strong> What else do you need me to do? At the ready. xo</p>

Amazon.com - Amazon Gift Card

<p>This e-gift card allows access to all Walmart products. Useful for anyone anywhere.</p>
<p><strong>Why We Love This Gift:</strong> We love this gift because it offers access to things like pharmacies when a family you love is in need. Many aspects of surgical care are not covered by insurance - these expenses can add up. This is especially true when a family is on a fixed income. Items like canes, walkers, surgical gauze, and more - can all be underwritten in this way. (Bonus: It respects, as well, the privacy and dignity of the person you love). Supplements that are doctor recommended (always check) can also be covered in this manner. Walmart also just has everything so for someone who has lost their job it enables them to get what they need without spelling it all out. People are proud.</p>
<p><strong>What To Express in Your Card:</strong> You'd do exactly the same. xo</p>
