she and her amazing husband marty and my wonderful aunt (well... my mom's cousin, but i call her an auntie) jennifer came to our house one day and we met in town for dinner the next day. they doted on N, or natty, as bamma calls him:):):) and brought calabasitas and peas from our relatives gardens in mora...
fee bird was also here at the time since her dad had to return to california to do much needed work. she was AWESOME and adorable and made great progress with N. see... no oxygen and she got him outside and he was only holding one hand. we were so excited. she would make N laugh a lot and he would have to say: "i'm not listening, i'm not listening" so as to prevent any cracking up. she's the best! 
fee was very disheartened to hear that the saturday she left, N had a huge setback while her dad was taking her to the airport. after his sponge bath, he literally clung onto me for 20 minutes in a severe spasm that left him panting over my shoulder and completely locked up. thankfully maria showed up and she, hils and i got him painfully back into bed. he stayed there until tuesday afternoon. 
our best friend, meag had flown in sunday night to help while johnny took hils and flora to california to her dad's cabin for a much-needed vacation (to say the least!!!). we were so grateful to get him up and down safely. meag did amazing and was a refreshing breath of air and reminder of our beloved tacoma. it was sad to see her go and was a mini-vacation for me since she did ALL the dishes all day, was a calming presence to talk to, and helped so intensely and kindly with N and me. thank you, supermeago! we love you!!!!!
thank you, EVERYONE, who is helping in heart and in person. i know so many want to do something or say something to help, and every bit of love goes a longer way than you know. it means so much to me just to know people are reading this and are praying and caring more than i can see. thank you.i will keep you posted.

R and N..praying together with my husband..that this will someday all be over..and the Lord can lead you on the heights and out of this valley. We send you this verse..and are praying for your strength. You are loved, thought of and prayed for here in Tacoma.
Though the fig-tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls,
yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will be joyful in God my Saviour.
The Sovereign LORD is my strength; he makes my feet like the feet of a deer, he enables me to go on the heights. Habbakuk 3: 17-19
abrazos!
