APOLINAR'S GRADUAL IMPROVEMENT

Lloyd with his arms around Apolinar.

Apolinar always enjoys a hug from Lloyd when we visit him.  There is gradual improvement, but he still needs pain medication in order to sleep at night.  Even though he can't work in the near future, he enjoys helping us plan for work to be done.  And we assured him we would try to use his stepsons on the job with his supervision.

Esteban and Javier, Apolinar and Carla's little boys both have chicken pox.  Both of them were outside playing although Javier was fretful and sleepy.  Other neighborhood children were playing with Esteban.  Lloyd noticed spots all over Javier's little body when Carla changed his clothes, and that's when they told us they'd been to the doctor for medicine.  How many others will now have this very contagious disease?  No wonder these things spread so quickly throughout the city.
