Dish It Out...She Can Take It!

Greetings Family and Friends,

Happy Saturday! Sheri continues to make positive progress on her road to recovery from surgery. She is up and around, walking a few times a day and is surrounded by loving, caring people.

In the upcoming weeks, Sheri will undergo a port-a-cath placement. This device, placed under the skin, will serve as an access point for her heath care team to deliver chemotherapy and other medications into her body effectively. For now, she can eat what she wants, and she reports that her appetite is slowly returning. Once her chemo cycle starts, we will update everyone with a list of foods best tolerated by Sheri. 

Many of you are asking the concrete question: "How can we best help them now?" And there is something very important we can do for them. Here's the scoop:

There has been a change in plans as to how we can best help the family, particularly around meals. If you would like to sign up, you may access the meal schedule by clicking here, or by visiting TakeThemAMeal.com and locating the schedule by recipient last name (Gersin) and password (1010).


This will be a huge help to Sheri. We all know the time, effort and energy that goes into planning and preparing meals for everyone. It can be exhausting! Right now, this is where the most need is.
 
Any and all ***types of foods are welcomed and appreciated. Henry and Sam, like many kids, eat their own "kiddie fare" from the pantry or freezer, so there is no need to include them in your headcount of folks to feed. Please prepare enough for Keith, Sheri and their helpers (Sheri's parents, aunt, etc.) Plan for meals that serve 4-8 people.

**Due to Henry's peanut allergy, please note if the meal includes nuts

Please deliver your meal to their home by 5:30 PM on your assigned day. Their address is: 5145 Carmel Park Drive, Charlotte, NC 28226. There will be a cooler placed on the front doorstep for you to leave your meal in. You may contact Tyson with any questions or concerns by email or by phone (704-905-0745).

As always, thanks for your love and support.
