A little background; My Mother in law "Mary Frances" who after 30 years of service, happily ended her long devoted career at Texas Instruments as assistant to the CEO and Chairman of the board Tom Engibous to retire, move to Georgia and be Genevieve's Nanny.
Since that time she has really enjoyed herself here and is positive that she made the right decision..After all, her e-mail signature reads "retired and loving it"!
Recently we found out that she has a significant blockage in one of her heart valves and is in serious need of a replacement. Open heart surgery is big news for anyone to swallow but on a positive note, she has been told by her doctors that people who have needed the valve replacement never realized how bad they really felt until after they had the surgery. Not because the surgery made them feel worse, on the contrary. It's actually because of how much better they felt, energy levels go up etc with the added blood flow that they have been missing out on all these years.
Her doctors acted fast and wasted no time. "You need to have this procedure sooner than later and by sooner we mean don't wait more than a month". That was last Thursday 10/4, she is now going in for the surgery this Thursday 10/11 at 7:00am sharp! "Man they don't mess around"!!
Her recovery time is estimated to be 6-8 weeks, I am taking a leave of absence from work to care for both her and Genevieve until she is fully recovered. Please keep her in your prayers that all goes well and she makes a speedy recovery.
We thank you for your love and support,
