Mike & His Geisha Nurses

I can always tell when Miguel is feeling better...he pays more attention to women...

And he is a lot better today! All follow-up tests indicate the surgery went well. We are just waiting for the go-ahead from the neurosurgeons so he can get out of bed and walk around.

But I'm sure the highlight of Mike's day today was when 2 female nurses stripped him down in bed, washed his hair, and bathed him. Not only did he enjoy the personal attention, he's happy to be cleaned up! (And on a serious note, the nurses were very, very professional and caring. And even though neither of them speak English Mike knew just how to move around for them!)

I stayed back at our hotel last night so I brought Mike's eye glasses and a book about Mexico today. We even practiced our Espanol with each other. He almost has the numbers 11, 12, 13, 14, & 15 memorized...I don't know why those are so difficult for him!

Hopefully, we'll be able to leave for home on Monday. Our dog, Sitka, had to extend her stay at Paradise Pet Lodge, but I'm sure she is getting spoiled everyday!

THANKS for all of the emails and comments on our blog. We appreciate the good thoughts and prayers that are coming our way.
