From Leon

Today we reached Leon and are staying in a convent with limited wifi - I can't even connect!  Leon is a big city with charming squares and a beautiful cathedral. I will send an updates post with pictures from today at the next stop.

I just spoke with John, my brother-in-law and Hildy is resting peacefully and the brain swelling is abating.  They have gotten the pain meds balanced so they don't interfere with her breathing.  The medical team were able to clean up her elbow  today to prepare it for Thursday surgery when they will also do her knee and leg.  Her shoulder surgery is scheduled for Monday. 

I have decided with the family to keep walking and will continue to pray for her with each step.  I so appreciate your support and there is a lovely Camino community here who is also praying and carrying her to Santiago.

Thank you, my friends.

  4. Holly - my thoughts are with you and my prayers are with Hildy. Such a hard decision, but glad you made it with the family. I'm sure Hildy will gain strength from your strength.
