Rubenia

I wanted to put a picture of Rubenia on my blog so all of you could see the results of our journey for a new leg for her.  She returned to Honduras on February 11 with Dr. Brannon who arranged for the leg.  Rubenia or Ruby as most people call her now is doing really well with her new leg.  She is continuing therapy to make the muscle in her leg stronger but she can walk, run, jump and swim almost as well as she did before.  Ruby didn't really understand why we thought she should get a prosthesis but now that she has it, she is very happy with it.  She is back in bilingual school in Puerto Cortes and doing well.  I am sure the fact that she has learned English so well while she was in the states is helping her in school.
