A Heart for Mary

Below is info about a benefit for a friend of a friend:

Please help us help Mary! Mary has touched so many lives through the care she gives
animals, it is time for us to give back. Please read on for how you can help!
 
If your life or your pet’s life has not been touched by Mary Callopy, please allow me the time to tell you about Mary. Mary has been an instrument of healing in so many animals lives throughout the years her story needs to be told. Mary is a Certified Veterinary Rehabilitation Technician. She started in the Veterinary industry as a groomer and after some personal experiences with her own pets, decided to further her involvement with animal care. Mary attended Joliet Junior College to become a certified veterinary technician where she graduated with high marks. She then pursued additional training to become a licensed rehabilitation technician, and has since dedicated her life to improving the quality of life of animals with a variety of orthopedic and neurologic disease. Mary has been instrumental in re-training a plethora of animals to walk again after injury, surgery, or disease.  

  Recently Mary was at work and began to feel faint. In her traditional stubbornness, she tried to work though her discomfort, but her co-workers were concerned and called paramedics. After paramedics arrived, her conditioned rapidly worsened. Mary had a massive heart attack. Paramedics rushed her to Christ Hospital in Oak Lawn where she was resuscitated en route. Upon arrival to the hospital, Mary underwent emergency by-pass surgery. She then spent several days in cardiac intensive care. Mary has since spent a prolonged period in an extended care facility where she is re-learning how to manage day to day activities.
