Day +50

Posted on: 17/05/2014

Today Ava and had the most wonderful day with Luisa. Literally the entire day, from 9am until 10pm they have been inseparable. This morning they fed the ducks and played happily on the grass by the lake. This afternoon was spent making rose petal perfume and taking turns to be beautiful brides. After a break for a Barbie movie, they chatted, laughed and sang their way through dinner. Luisa has been beaming all day and her presence has been the perfect tonic for Ava, who has had great energy and a healthy appetite all day. I have had a fantastic day seeing Ava so joyful and also with the delightful company of Ana Maria. I was sorry to say goodbye to Karen, but eternally grateful to have had her holding my hand through the first few very nerve wracking days out of the hospital. Thanks to all of these lovely girls for giving Ava and I such a boost.
