The trip downtown was normal *if there is such a thing as normal in Hanoi* 1000s of motor bikes and horns every second. We have all adoption day gifts covered and found a great price on a stroller (since our first lay-over is close to 5 hours) it will come in handy. It is bright GREEN and says HONG baby on it I think. LOL!
Nanny, Halle-Grace and I had a relaxing snack at Highland's Coffee *one of Jason's favorite spots in Hanoi* and Little Miss Magic was entertaining everyone...here are a few pics.
Jason called me with an update on Gabby and she is doing well. She has used the potty and has eaten some baby food and even a little bite of chicken for Jason. The doctors are very pleased with her progress. Jason sent me this picture of her and he said she looks GREAT compared to how she looked prior to the surgery POOR BABY!!!
So, it looks like Gabby has already decided to be a lamp for Halloween! Pray this baby gets well real soon!!! Granny visited with Gabby and Jason said she wagged her tail off! Gabby LOVES Granny and the staff at CVS...I think they are pretty fond of her as well. I continue to pray that she gets well and is back home soon (as soon as she is strong enough and ready for WILD WOMAN)! Nanny found Halle-Grace's Halloween costume today and it is PERFECT for the STINKER!
SO, tomorrow we head to the Embassy!!! I am not nervous. Hopefully they will be able to process Halle-Grace's US Visa and we will be on our 11:30 flight tomorrow night. I have just about completed all packing. It is hard to believe I have lived in Hanoi, Vietnam for a month! Let's hope adoptions re-open in the near future.
Thanks and Good Night from Vietnam!
