Day 17 - Making Progress

Today we spent the morning with Galina. She is starting to recognize us when we come in with a big smile. We will hopefuly hear in the next 2 or 3 days how her medical test went. She seemed extra quiet, but this was probably because she was out of her normal pattern for a couple of days.

We have been bringing treats to Galina (bananas seem to a big hit) and today were able to feed her lunch. It's funny how she stores all the food at the top of her mouth and cheeks like a chipmonk.

Today we are working on getting a couple of passport photos taken and getting them to Kiev on the old FedEx train.
