Mary’s Story

Site created on August 8, 2020

Mary is home and still recovering from her stroke.  Mary is so grateful for the outpouring of love, food, support and help she has received.  She could still use our help, though.  There are times she needs errands run.  If you are someone who could be added to the "Run Errands Team", please call Ashley:  310-488-0772 (tel:310-488-0772).  The Meal Train (you all) have been providing (and still is) 3 meals a week to be sent to her.  You can access Meal Train at:  https://mealtrain.com/7y51k2 (https://mealtrain.com/7y51k2.  (https://mealtrain.com/7y51k2. ))       Thank you all.  What a loving community.  We love you, Mary!

Newest Update

Journal entry by Judy McClendon

Hello dear friends of Mary,   Id like to send you an update on Mary and let you know of upcoming appointments.  But first,  thank you so very much for your support, prayers, and love that have been ongoing since  August 5, 2020.  

Mary is making  progress and doing very well.  Physical therapy continues to challenge her and her therapist sees her gaining strength and balance.  She still has a ways to go to build up her confidence.    Her hopes of driving will have to be postponed until she really feels ready.    

Mary recently had an appointment with her neurologist.  He emphasized the importance of  going directly to the ER if she ever has difficulty speaking or shows any other signs of a stroke.     There have  been two incidences of Mary being unable to speak.    The last time  this happened she decided to see if her speech returned and if her condition improved, which it did.  But it's important to get immediate care and an evaluation asap. 

Mary will be needing rides on the following dates:

Wednesday June 4 ~   Pick up at 9:30  to Century City

Friday June 7 ~ Pick up at  12:30  to UCLA in Westwood

Tuesday June 15 ~ Pick up at 10:00  to Santa Monica

If you would like to help, please sign up on MealTrain https://mealtrain.com/7y51k2 .  

Once again,  thank you for all the many ways you've helped Mary.  We will forever be grateful!  ❤️   

                                                                             Take care and have a safe and happy Memorial Day Weekend,

                                                                                                             Mary's sisters,   Judy and Joanne
