A week gone by

It's been a week now since the operation and Maria is improving by leaps and bounds.  We went to the library today and she participated in a story hour and activity and walked with her walker.  She is no longer taking medication and is slowly letting us touch her pins without fear.
Our friends the Gonzalez family visited us today, and we had a lovely lunch with them and a swim in the pool.  Maria still wasn't able to swim with us, but she sat in her wheelchair and watched the fun without complaint.  She knew that Martina, their daughter who is having her leg lengthened, was having a hard time of it, and she leaned over and gave her a kiss. (That from the Iron Maiden!!!)
Icho and Diana have been able to change their plane tickets and will go home on Aug. 15.  I will stay on to visit my mother, but have no departure date as yet.
Elisa will be coming to visit us on Aug. 4- we can't wait!  She will be staying until Aug. 9.
