I have this photo I've been trying to restore for a friend.

She wants it restored so she can give it to her mom as part of a birthday gift. I've been working on it, when i have a chance, but I can't seem to get past this point. Everything I try doesn't seem to help.

I'm quite new to Photoshop and I'm learning as I go, but her birthday is in the first week of August. My job keeps me busy and I'm scared that I may not get it to where I want it in time for her birthday.
I'm hoping you can give me a hand, whether giving it a shot yourself, give tips and tricks, or point me to tutorials that will help me achieve my goal.
Any help is greatly appreciated!!
