Thank you all for your prayers! God is faithful!

Aunt Sally & Gloria, thank you for offering your guest room as well. Jason appreciated your call and we all appreciate the prayers. Jason & Granny are still camping out in the parking lot. Gabby is doing well (considering all she has been through). She had surgery about 48 hours ago and she is in the hands of the BEST at CVS. Jason told me they were able to take her outside for a potty break! HOW AWESOME!!! She is such a fighter!

Words cannot express our gratitude to the entire staff/team at Carolina Vet. Specialist in Charlotte. WE LOVE YOU ALL and you ARE family!Halle-Grace is ready to meet you and Gabby too! THANK YOU FOR TAKING CARE OF HER!
GET WELL SOON GABBY! When you get home you can stand on the stairs (like you are in the photo) and wait to play laser with your dad:)


Right now we are set to leave Hanoi on Monday night (if we receive Halle-Grace's visa Monday afternoon) if not, we will leave on Wed. night. If we leave Monday night, we will be arriving in Charlotte on Tuesday around 2:45pm
I am not stressed about the flight nor the time...God is in control and as Uncle Scott told Jason, "if you believe HIS plan is perfect, then start acting like it." WOW, how true is that statement!!! Scott's faith amazes me! He is a testimony for everyone he meets.

(I know this entry is jumping "all over the place" but there are so many things on my heart and my emotions are just flowing onto the screen!)

I have started packing and getting Halle-Grace set for a LONG flight home. I am SO blessed that Nanny is still here and is traveling with me. The first place I am going when I arrive in Charlotte...to see GABBY girl!

Again, thank you all for the MANY prayers along this journey to Halle-Grace. Really, "The Journey" is just NOW beginning. Now all the stress and anxiety can turn into fun and a lifetime of memories. Get well soon Gabby! You are a fighter! Can't wait to see my Gabby girl!!!!

God Bless you ALL! Pray us home and Gabby too!

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!
