Building Families Through The Miracle Of Adoption

Sep 26, 2008

Both of our babies saw the doctor today! Lord, please be with Gabby, she needs extra special care.

Gabby is in critical condition and her situation is "touch and go" the doctor says! Jason & Granny are still at the vet. hospital. Last night, they went to Wal-mart and bought pillows and blankets to sleep in the parking lot. There is a gas shortage in western NC so it's a good thing they are sitting in one place.



Meanwhile, Nanny is still in Vietnam. She did not leave today because I am a complete basketcase! Some of you may not understand but Gabby is our little girl too and we love her SO very much! She is our first child. We are so excited to introduce Halle-Grace to Gabby so I pray she can pull through this time.

Today Halle-Grace had her medical at the SOS and she passed with flying colors. She loved the doctor! She weighs 15 pounds and is 70 cm long. She loved having her ears and her throat checked out and when we took her diaper off to put her on the scale she let loose!!! Thankfully, there was a "pee pad" on the scale! HA HA! The doctor said Halle-Grace was "perfect". She entertained the nurse and the doctor. Our Embassy appointment is set for Monday and Thu told us we should get Halle-Grace's visa by the end of the day Monday.


THANK YOU Carolina Vet. Specialist for taking such amazing care of Gabby! We love you like family and you have been SO good to Gabby through all of her medical needs. We look forward to the day BOTH of our girls are HOME safe, happy & HEALTHY!!! What a HOMECOMING it's going to be....I pray!

God Bless you all!
