Broken-hearted!
Jason called me and told me that Gabby's gall bladder ruptured!!! She was in surgery for 3 hours! We are terrified and scared! Jason is sleeping in the parking lot of the vet. hospital and Granny is with him. PLEASE PRAY for our Gabby! I cannot imagine going home and Gabby not being there! I am so broken hearted! She is now in recovery but the next 48 hours are very critical! PLEASE PRAY!
Time to come home!
Update on Gabby: She is doing OK. Still sick feeling as her stomach is raw! Poor baby girl. Her PCV levels are GREAT which indicated her AIHA is not he issue *thank God* OH, I pray she is home soon! I am worried sick about her and Jason is too! We want both of our girls HOME!
Our trip to the downtown area was most eventful. Mer & Nanny were ready to kill me when I had the taxi let us out FAR from our first stop AND it was pouring down rain! We had lunch/early dinner at a fabulous little restaurant we have grown to LOVE and then the shopping began...we made it to ONE store and after an hour there, we had to get a taxi back because the packages were over-flowing! That is where ALL of the excitement began! We had two taxi drivers yelling to us as we were leaving the street corner store...as Mer would say, "why cross the street when you don't have to" because it is like playing dodge ball! SO, we took the taxi on the side of the street we were already walking on...BAD MISTAKE! The other taxi driver proceeded to come over and start an altercation with our driver. I was laughing so hard in the back seat and taking photos! Mer had a look on her face like, "is this for real" and Nanny was yelling "get your skinny butt out of the road and LET'S GO!" It was just like a scene from a bad movie! We sat there for at least 15 minutes with ALL of our packages *half of them in the trunk* and waited to see what was going to happen...and more did happen. Next, 3 or 4 other men come over and they all yell back and forth...Nanny is still yelling at them *as if they had ANY idea what she was yelling* Mer & I laughed so hard!!! So, Nanny said, forget this...she took the key out of the ignition and we opened the trunk, retrieved our goodies and walked across the street to another taxi (oh, did I mention the one guy stood in front of the taxi like a bull...Mer said his nostriles were flarring out..LOL)
It was an experience. We are back safe and sound...FINALLY.
The girls were EXHAUSTED and so were we (photos tells it all).
Our SOS clinic appts are tomorrow at 1pm then we submit our paperwork to the Embassy! Hopefully we will get a QUICK appt. and turn-around and be on a plane to America in the next few days!
Sherry, what all should we expect at the SOS visit??
More from Vietnam tomorrow! Nanny is set to fly home tomorrow night, Mer & I are trying to find a way to keep her!!! Halle-Grace decided if Nanny is leaving, she is too. She was packing her bags tonight as well (as you can see). Jason you better get all of the cabinet locks ready!
God Bless you all!!! We can't wait to see you in NC!
