Monday morning and we are back home. Isabella (and Gregorio) are pleased to get back to their own beds.
They said children were resilient but we didn't quite believe it. She made dramatic progress over the week-end. On Sunday she was sitting up and laughing, particularly at my description of Matilde's picture at breakfast - a snake with glasses. He had glasses on so he could find the ants!Isabella has been incredibly brave and taken the whole experience in her stride. She is tough she claims not to be in pain and is refusing any pain medication. The swelling has gone down and she is regaining her energy.
She told the doctor this morning that the food in the hospital was disgusting and she was looking forward to going home to eat some real stuff, like fruits and vegetables. When she got home she put in her order for lunch and her personal chef produced pea soup, risotto con gamberi and a pear. She polished the lot off!
Now we are taking it easy at home and will await the biopsy results this week and will let you know about the next stage.
Love,
Emma and Gregorio

Dear Emma and family!
All the best for a speedy recovery. Isabella I am certain is looking forward to returning to being her vivrant self. we have been following developments on this side of the Atlantic, and Eleni is looking forward to visiting next month. For now, get some rest . . . all our prayers have pulled some leverage with the only CEO that counts!
Many regards,
Themis, Eleni, Stelios Nikolas!
Che sollievo leggere le vostre buone nuove e quanta tenerezza, con una voglia grande di abbracciarla, suscitano in me "nonna" il coraggio e la forza di Isabella!!!
Spero di continuare a leggere notizie positive e vi sono vicina con la preghiera. Vi abbraccio con affetto

Emma, grazie mille per dare a tutti noi che amiamo Isabella notizie sui suoi progressi. Sono contenta (e non sorpresa) di sapere che la nostra ragazza e' forte, penso a lei e a voi sempre, siete nella mia mente in ogni momento. Vi abbraccio forte.

This really is great news- I had a clue when Daddy picked up Matilde at home time.
Wow- fingers crossed for more good news from results in the week.
Hope that personal chef can keep up the 'standards' of the patient this week- what a responsibility!!
Much love
