Tomorrow home!

Today Marichi has made great progress, she's off the drips and taking her medication orally. She hasn't complained about pain, and seems to be getting used to the fixator. She sat in a wheelchair very comfortably, and even enjoyed wheeling it herself. Diana and Icho decided to buy her one instead of renting as she will be using it over the years, whenever she has her leg lenthened.
Her sisters insisted on bringing her a bunch of presents, as seen in the photo below. She is wearing a princess hat, a wand, a gold medal, home-made necklace and bracelet, and even a new Barbie. Obvioiusly, everyone joined in on the fun!
Maria is scheduled to come home tomorrow, and we are anxious to all get back to "normal"- whatever that is!
Our return dates are still up in the air, as the girls are still awaiting papers to be able to file for American passports. For now, we will continue enjoying our "vacation"!
