I just came back from a trip to see the grandkids. I have good news to report. At Romee’s three-month regular check up with the cardiologist, the ultrasound showed that Romee won’t need her second open-heart surgery for about two years, thankfully. By then she will have outgrown the initial vessels that had been put into place at birth.
Benji has a lovely Argentinian woman who comes to the house and looks after him during the week. In the fall, when he turns two, he will go to day care with two other children at the home of a Swedish woman. Romee will continue at her little day school—or should I say “play school.”
Romee turns three this coming month. She is growing up very fast. She loves life and wants to try out just about everything.
Thank you for all your care and concern and kindness. Love, Gramma Rikki
Benji and Romee love to “read.”

End of the day. All is well.
On a totally different note, I wanted to let you know that my three-memoir trilogy is complete. If you read my books, I would be so grateful if you’d be willing to write a little review of the book on Amazon (and Goodreads if you have the energy to do that). Why is this important to me? It’s because Amazon has an algorithm that only allows books with over 100 written reviews to show up when a person is scrolling around to find some of the topics that I address in my books, like healing, medicine, Navajo people, integrative medicine, spirituality, etc. The more written reviews one has, the more visibility the book gets. I wrote the books to be of service to others. The money part was not much of an issue. Getting the books out into the world is the issue.
Here’s what someone made for me to put on Amazon:
