Ok, this was not a fun experience. It was frustrating, and I’m so glad to be done with it. Fortunately the boys only needed 2 shots each…flu and tetanus. But they tried to say they needed 3 or 4!…until I argued. It’s not supposed to be debatable. It should be black and white…only what they need. So it was very frustrating to even have to attempt to argue. Oh, and they got their TB test done today. So we go back on Wed. to have it checked. (Eric didn’t like any of the shots.) Please pray that they won’t show a reaction and have to have a chest x-ray. Their medical exam was also rather intrusive to the boys, so we are all glad to have this day behind us. We plan to go to the zoo tomorrow (trusting it won’t rain) which will be a first for Brandon. Had a brief English lesson today and realize we have a long road ahead of us. On a scale of 1 to 5, I’d say Eric is about a 2 or 2.5 and Brandon is barely a 1. Both are teachable though, so I know it will come with time and intentionality.
TOLERANCE: Two weeks is normally the longest a typical adoption trip takes. Ours (with 2 boys in 2 provinces) is almost 3 weeks. Needless to say, my tolerance level is dwindling. I guess this is preparing us for going home. Appreciate your prayers for patience, endurance, continued good health, no TB reactions, and 4 more days of bonding with our boys before we get back to a full house.
