August 13th

Nancy was allowed to briefly leave the hospital today on an outing, a good sign that her lung condition is improving rapidly. Nancy and family were driven by Asistur to Rio Dulce to view Dan's body at a funeral home. You can read about the ceremony in Family Updates From Guatemala. Afterwards Nancy was energetic enough to take her family on a short 'tour' of Rio Dulce including their favorite place to eat and to her sailboat. The sailboat is still being held by police so she couldn't go aboard. Nancy's strength and energy were strong for the outing. Tonight she will sleep in the hospital for her last night.
