We had news from Lynda who is the oldest daughter of Gene's baby sister Mary McKenzie.
Mary is having a hard time with her cataract surgery. Her surgery was on January 6. On Monday the 11th when she woke up she could not see. Lynda took her to Middlesboro to see her doctor who put them on a fast track to St Joe's in Lexington where she had another surgery. They were there until Wednesday the 13th. On Friday the 15th they were in Corbin - all the tests came back confirming that she has a staph infection in her eye. She seemed somewhat better and they were due back in Lexington today to meet with the doctors.
Here's a picture of Emily and Mary in the hall outside the ICU at Erlanger when Gene was there. They were taking turns pushing one another in the wheelchair each claiming they didn't need to ride, but it sure did help to push someone else. Lynda brought Mary down to Chattanooga two times to see Gene. Once when he was in Erlanger and another time when he was at Kindred. It was easy to see that he was very uplifted by her visits.
