The facility let Y out yesterday, and they are safe at home, decompressing from the ordeal, with our help.  I’m sure the processing will continue for a while.  They actually gave me a big hug, which was a nice breakthrough.  We tried to make them feel welcomed and secure.

Just for the occasion, I made special challot loaded with colorful sprinkles.  As it turned out, everyone was headed in various directions, with Avdi shuttling back and forth, so I made it a casual grab-and-go meal.  Given the unusual circumstances of the week, flexibility was in order.

I actually got a night’s sleep for a change of pace–more like overslept.  I still have the serious dizziness, but it hasn’t escalated to full vertigo, so that’s a relief.  Relieved in every sense.
