It is wonderful to not have much to share. Nicole continues to progress and was able to go shopping yesterday. A very different experience than when she wanted to go shopping with me a week ago. That time she lasted about 10 minutes in the store and slept the rest of the day. This time she and her mother went to Ikea! They took a shortcut to get through the area they needed and then headed to the restaurant. Nicole's appetite continues to grow she downed noodles, rice, Swedish meatballs, soup and pizza. As you would expect she was physically wiped out afterwards and slept until evening time but was excited about her progress.
And then we made patacones with her sister, polishing off more than two plantains! No wonder her weight is improving!
I've connected with the school district and I spoke with the tutor who is starting with her tomorrow. The school district will send the tutor out twice a week for about an hour and a half each time to guide Nicole through a fairly independent learning program. I look forward to seeing how that goes. Nicole on the other hand has mixed emotions about having to do school work (which is no surprise).
Looking forward to Thanksgiving this year, as we have so much to be thankful for. God has clearly watched out for Nicole and been involved in helping us navigate through this crazy time. Nicole's grandparents will be coming up from California; it will be the first time they've seen her since before the cardiac arrest.
