God did not promise MAV and me an easy life, but what He did promise is to be with us every step of the way. This week has brought meningitis into our lives for Michael. Once again, prayers answered by the wonderful care at @UABHeersink. I may be masked but smiling with my eyes.
Friends, MAV has moved on to 9th place. In less than 5 days, he needs to be in the top 5 in his group. We typically don't ask for things like this, but we would love all the help you can give by voting (today you get two free votes instead of one)
every 24 hours and by cross-posting. Thank you for all the support and your encouraging words. We feel your love and are blessed beyond words by your encouraging messages and comments. 💙💙 #parkinsons peoplesartist.org/2026/micha…
Calling all friends to help MAV as we have about 24 hrs to get in the top 20. As I sit here listening to him sleep after a day spent rattled with tremors and pain, I look around our bedroom & see the beauty he has created, a piece of him Parkinson’s hasn't taken.
We typically don't ask for things like this, but he's been so excited about it that any help would be greatly appreciated. 💙💙 peoplesartist.org/2026/micha…

It’s a full house in MCSA! An especially big thank you to our OR staff for all that they do and for coming this morning to attend the State of the Department.
Help us celebrate and thank our remarkable OR teams!
MAV doesn't get out much because it is usually too hard for him, but he joined me at our holiday brunch. He did so well and loved every bit of the holiday brunch. This is a memory I will cherish forever! Merry Christmas 🎄 🎄
