Elissa Is Back In Texas

We have been back a few weeks to our home and we can tell you if you leave for 9 months a lot of stuff goes to S#@*. It took 2 weeks to get everything unpacked and all the repairs to the house.
Elissa is making adjustments to her new life and her new lungs. She starts her first job tomorrow taking care of a friends special needs child. This is a part time job but exactly what we have wanted for her to do....Very low public contact as we very much have a fear of Covid 19.
Her medical results are 100% positive with No Rejection and No infection. We have her friends over but we make every one hang out in the back yard.
Today we took her car shopping....Something we never thought we would ever do.
Again thanks for the years of support.

Great to hear that you are all getting a more normal (for covid times) existence.
I am sure Elissa will get a great deal of satisfaction from working as you will catching up on your chores.
I will continue sending positive thoughts your way.
Thank you for the update.

Great update - thanks, & we're all hoping she continues to improve & enjoy life. It's been a long road for her and you, & you've all fought a great battle. Most battles like this probably don't turn out as well.

Easily the best report to come out of 2020. So manual or automatic? Rag or rocktop?

I can so see that smile in a ragtop running through the gears with the sun shining on her.
