Updates continued

First of all, I want to give a huge "Thank You!" to my support group who has uplifted me during this transition time home. You all have encouraged me with your gifts of love, time, prayers, and presence. I have been so blessed to have you all in my life!

The last two weeks have been filled with homeschooling, doctor appointments, flu vaccinations, dental appointments for all the children, appointments with two surgeons, an appointment with an audiologist, writing Hope's "3-year Post-Adoption Report", applying for Daniel's "Recognition of Foreign Adoption".... The list goes on and on.

And yet, I have time to sit and write this update, because I have had help and encouragement. Thank you!

As a summary, Samuel has been sick since probably the beginning of the year. His ear drums and adenoids have been so incredibly infected for such a long time that the infections are resistant to antibiotics. In addition, his ear drums are so impacted that Samuel is hearing-impaired--hopefully only temporarily.

So, on December 9th Samuel will have tubes put in his ears, three-fourths of his adenoids blasted away, and another surgeon will be doing other repair work that needs to be addressed at that same time. Two surgeons working together to allow Sammy to undergo anesthesia only once. We are so thankful!

December 9th will be the day after Samuel turns 2. Since he has never had a birthday party, and since he will not be eating regular food for two weeks after surgery, we are planning to make his birthday extra special!

 "Little guy, you also have a support group that loves you beyond what words can express! We are looking forward to the day you are feeling well again."
