Postponed

These are the blankets that I managed to make for all the kiddos on our Christmas list.

Well, we have had to postpone our January 2nd homestudy visit...hubby is sick. He spent two days in the hospital last week with vomiting and stomach pain. After two days of testing, IV fluids, pain meds and nothing by mouth, it was decided he probably has a bleeding ulcer. He will have an upper endoscopy after the new year to confirm, and treatment will be decided then. In the meantime, he is taking probiotics. His bloodwork indicated anemia, therefore, the bleeding ulcer theory. The poor dear is really tired and still having pain...although it IS much diminished.

I also spent four days in the hospital earlier this month with Pancreatitis. I am having an upper endoscopy and colonoscopy on January 4th and must follow a low fat diet, as my liver enzymes have tested high also.

It has not been a fun month around here, and with both of us spending time being ill, we have fallen a little behind on our adoption plans. This just kills me...we had wanted to submit our dossier to Tanner's country BEFORE the reopen date of Feb 1st (when they begin to accept new dossiers again), have it translated, and have a submission date in EARLY Feb. These plans have now been pushed back by a few weeks, but we hope that immigration will approve us quickly and still allow us to submit in Feb and get a March travel date.

Please pray with us for our good health as we endeavor to complete our adoption and bring our beautiful Tanner home VERY SOON. Thank you!
