Marielos did real well in the hotel room resting. She has walked down the halls much better to regain her strength and is eating a little more. We spent 2 hours on the phone making reservation changes (what a complete nightmare) but worked out the return flights. We will be back late Thursday afternoon. 2 of our children went back to our house yesterday and stayed with Marielos' mother, who will stay with her and assist for a week or 2 - which is a wonderful blessing to us all. For now, all is well, and we only expect better life and health for Marielos. She may even be able to ride her 10 speed again in a couple months. Then, medically, there is the issue of the defibrillator that was installed in her chest back in March. The question now is: Does she still need it? She still has the "disease" of HCM, but all the blockage in the heart is now gone, and docs are confident it will not grow back. So, that is a valid question that will be pursued over the next year or so as we monitor her health. Thank you, thank you everyone for your critical part and loving concern for her. She is a walking miracle. "I will sing of the Lord's great love forever; with my mouth I will make your faithfulness known through all generations." Ps. 89:1

Andy, Marielos, I'm SO glad everything has worked out for the best! I have really been praying for this, we couldn't have asked for better results! Hope she gets to ride her bike again too...
Hi Marielos, I'm really glad to hear that all went well. Lauren forwarded the most recent update to me and I had to sign in and say hi. I'll be praying for your flight home tomorrow. May God continue to pour out His grace on you! ... Sending big hugs your way! xoxox
