Morning of Day 5

This is our last day in the clinic. I'm currently getting the last IV bag of vitamins then we're headed to San Diego this afternoon.

Today is the BEST I've felt all week. It's the best I've felt in over a year!! I did 72 squats this morning. I couldn't do 5 before I left. And I'm sure I'll do more by the end of the day.

I wish I could visit this clinic like I visit my doctors at home. The people are so loving! The doctor hugs me and holds my hand and focuses on me in a way that I've never felt from a doctor before. Nurse Angelina calls me "my bebe" and I want her to be my grandma. We considered smuggling her over the border and bringing her home but I can't do that to her real grandchildren. Besides, we might get held up at the border with a sweet little Mexican nurse smushed into our trunk. I love all of these people and they care about their patients so much. We don't get to experience this in America. I am so grateful I was able to go through it.

I'm sure John will put his Day 5 post up soon...
