We took her bandage off this morning. There are only two small marks left from the procedure. They do not seem to bother her.
We met up with Dieter and Marie-Therese in the afternoon and walked to the "Old Town".
We went to an old church and saw the most amazing detail inside on the walls and ceiling.
We enjoyed an authentic German lunch at the Schumacher Pub. I had the Weiner Schnitzel and Steve had a pork knuckle (not sure how to say it in German) and also beer that was brewed at the restaurant...even I enjoyed the beer! It was such a beautiful day and Jessica enjoyed the fresh air. We walked back along the Rhein River to our hotel. We saw sheep that were brought down by the river to "cut" the grass! It was the funniest thing to see.
They had one person in front and one in the back with two dogs that kept them in line with a few short commands and whistles.
We are now sitting in the Hotel room and probably won't be eating dinner tonight because we are so full from lunch! We also want to see Jessica fully rested up for the trip back HOME!!!
Thanks to Dieter, Marie-Therese, Tobias and Nadine for such a great stay in Germany. You have given us many memories to remember.
It's hard not to reflect on why Jessica, Steve and I are here. We are truly grateful to all our friends, family and our home towns for helping us get here. Jessica has taken Steve and I to different places in our life that we would have never gone. Through all of this I can honestly say that Jessica is enormously rewarding. Steve and I will remain forever hopeful that medical science will progress to be able to help Jessica's quality of life.
