Jaime and I
will definitely be ther with check in hand. So glad to hear that Itzel is doing so well...Her mother must be out of her mind with happiness.
Door prizes look worth getting...Will Jaime get raffle tickets if we donate at the door?

David - thank you for taking so many pictures to share, and staying up late getting them posted.
For those wanting to know the latest about Itzel, they visited their doctor in Tijuana on this trip north - who has now taken her off of any
medication. She was bubbly, giggly, and all smiles last night - running around much of the time. Fun to see.
And today she's going where the princesses live... Disneyland!
Thank you to all the Nomads for your support for Itzel - be it financially, and/or through your positive thoughts and prayers. She appears to be
doing FANTASTIC!

Isn't it funny how the mind works to preconceive notions? For some reason, I would have expected a more matronly lady.
Lookin' good, Mom.

Wow!! So wonderful
I spent the whole night marveling at this most alive young lady...so full of zest and fun...and only two weeks after a fantastic Doctor, Andy,
Antonio, and just a whole bunch of Baja Nomad's...really Angels breathed a new life into this whole, wonderful, family.
Wow!
And! Yes, Dennis her mom is a most beautiful young lady...with a ton of class.
Jaime and I had a ball and made a few new friends.
I even won a raffle prize! or three or more.
P.S. I asked Antonio to take the kids on the ride..."It's a small, small world"...He laughed and began to sing the song...It just seemed to fit!
Barbara M send me a u-2-u with your address and I'll make it all three.

It was sure good to see you Bernie and Jaime last night! Glad you made it and the others there as well... Fernando (a lurker on Nomad) from Tijuana
(no, not Ferna de Tijuana) but lives on this side now was great to spend some time talking to you and hearing about your bike ride to Mision Santa
Maria.
However, the BIGGEST joy was seeing Itzel waith her BIG smiles of joy... there was no difference between her and any other young child now, after the
procedure. It was a truly amazing thing, indeed!

My comment to Antonio was "take lots of pictures!". Hope they do, and can share some of that here.

We were told that he would go see patients in Tijuana when he was working in San Diego (and that he's Spanish-fluent) - but that his wife wants him to
stay NOB at the moment, and thus the reason Itzel's operation took place in Las Vegas (where he now works).
