All Stable

We received an email this evening: all remains stable with Isabella's tumour. We were getting increasingly anxious as the days went by so much relief in the Impavido household this evening. Waiting for medical results doesn't get any easier. We will see the doctors on Thursday morning for full details and learn when the next MRI will be.

Otherwise all is well. We are keeping busy with work and school. Isabella is getting close to testing for the next belt in Tae Kwon Do. And when she is not playing the piano or singing in the choir her newfound favourite past times are knitting (her grandmother taught her over Christmas and papa's scarf is coming along very nicely) and cross stitch. She is up early at the week-ends and retreats downstairs to sit in perfect tranquility knitting or sewing. Meanwhile Matilde is still doing lots of ballet, but the regular classes are nothing like as exciting as The Nutcracker. She is currently rehearsing a singing and dancing routine with her friend for the upcoming school talent show.

We have been skiing a few times locally this season but we are really looking forward to a trip to Vail Colorado.

May 1st is the date we plan to run 5k again in the Washington DC Race for Hope, more news on that in due course.

Lots of love,
Emma & Gregorio. xxx

Yes Isabella had an MRI last Friday. All went smoothly. We are still waiting to hear the results. No news is good news, right? We have appointments at Children's Hospital on February 10th, so we'll update you when we hear.
