Almost 2 months after surgery and Blanca

is fully recovered. She still can't do pe or recess for 1 month, but after that she will be completely back to normal. Her hair is growing in where they shaved it, and the scar is slowly looking better. Thanks so much for all your thoughts and prayers.

Attached is a picture of her about to swim, she missed swimming for a month, and that was torture!!!
