Talked to Doris at 10:40 AM: Doris is well and in good spirit. I told her we had a mini shakedown and they searched the sewing room for contraband.

She will have an appointment with Dr Jasmine Lee on 11/13/2023 and with Dr Scott Lee on 11/18/2023. I hope he will prescribe corrective lenses to help her see. Mava told Doris she was disappointed that she could not get to take a picture with me/ I told Doris I have to balance because she is helping Doris and I will try not to upset Mava and Doris too. I will take a group picture when Patches is here, but not with Mava alone. She walked yesterday and her step length has improved to 14.2 inches. I told her she should also learn to get up and down from the couch to develop her muscles.
