Days +32 and +33: Moving Forward

Sile's wonderful friend Liz Muller has been here taking care of Sile for the past couple of days while Jim completed his jury service (now done - hurrah!).   I returned this afternoon to find Sile in fine fettle.  As I had noticed berfore when I was away for a week, the progress in the six days since I was last here is remarkable.  Sile is walking further and more steadily, is eating well and with good appetite, and is increasingly independent.  She saw Dr. Nakamura today for the first time in two weeks (he's been away at a conference and on vacation).  The good doctor reports her numbers are "as good as they get".  Music to our ears.  

We continue at the very comfortable Marriott Residence Inn until Friday when Sile will move to a rented house in nearby Monrovia until the end of April at least.  None of us has actually cast eyes upon the inside of said house yet, but the location is certainly ideal.  The house is about 10 minutes from City of Hope in a pleasant, leafy neighborhood of comfortable old houses, within walking distance of "Olde Monrovia", full of shops, restaurants, grocery store, and movie theater.  You can find the address in the "Contact Me" section at the top of the blog.  

And for all you Unaphiles out there:

She's learning to roll over!  Apparently Lola is her main teacher!
