The day before the return to the United States

Today was a busy day at the hospital as my parents prepared for the return home tomorrow.

Bob had visits from my uncle Roberto, my grandmother and my mom's friend, Dora. He had his usual physical therapy and speech therapy sessions, they all went fine. Bob ate well.

The two nurses that are accompanying my parents back to the US arrived in Rio and spent about three hours at the hospital with them. The nurses participated in the therapy sessions and got acquainted with Bob. One of them is Australian and my mom likes her because she is a fast talker and a take-charge kind of person. The other nurse is Brasilian, I imagine it will be nice for my mom to have someone that speaks Portuguese along for the ride.

They all leave in a limousine - not an ambulance as was first thought - tomorrow night at six thirty in the evening. Everyone wouldn't fit in an ambulance, hence the limo. As long as Bob can stretch out his legs, he should be fine, my mom reasoned.

I'll write again tomorrow after they have boarded. Thanks for reading and keep the positive thoughts and prayers coming.
