Dear Family and Friends,
As some of you may know, in May 2013 Terry fell while he was at work. At the time, we had no idea what was going on, we only knew that he began stumbling, losing strength, and his right eye had begun to droop. He was hospitalized in the intensive care unit for several days when Terry was diagnosed with Myasthenia Gravis, an autoimmune disease that causes severe muscle weakness and fatigue. The medication he took to help manage this chronic illness eventually caused his kidneys to fail. Now, Terry is on dialysis to help his kidney filter out toxins in his body. This is keeping him alive. Terry’s only chance at long term survival is a kidney transplant and we are hopeful that a transplant is in his near future.

He'S worse than we thought.....no going in the leg....no guarantee he can fix valves....have to be opened heart surgery.....may take 3 MO to a year to get full recovery if any.....any other 55 year old with Just heart valve problems like he has a much better chance he's got myasthenia kidney failure and dialysis against him plus the heart damage he already has and it will be next Friday before he can do it
