11/08/14: Healing

Della is continuing to heal well! She still has a drain in but that will be out soon. We went to the doctor on Wednesday and Thursday for post-op and he taught me how to care for her so our next appointment is for this Monday. We lived with mom and dad for a bit but with the fleas and cats we decided it would be best to more over to our friends, John and Jordan. We lived with them just before we moved to El Salvador so we are already used to their company. We have now had a chance to unpack and eat at some of the restaurants we missed. Della gets tired easily right now, with all her healing so we haven’t had a chance to make it out too far or do too much. Yesterday, we had lunch with my grandparents which are Charlotte’s great grandparents! Sadly, I never got to meet my great grandparents. Today, Della felt up to doing a little shopping with mom and Leanna while Little Charlotte and I went over to Christina’s house. I replaced the breaks and changed the oil for extra car while Christina watched Charlotte. Now that’s done, Christina said we can borrow that car until we are able to find one we want to buy. I am still working on the job situation… Hopefully I will know something more next week.

My first attempt at an origami eagle.
I made this as a gift for our surgeon.
Took about 5 hours and the design came from Origami Sequence #4
