Homestudy

Since my test results have come back somewhat OK, we decided to schedule our Homestudy. It went great. Stinker Doodle "gave the tour" to our social worker. He even took her outside to show her the playhouse in the back yard. He told her all about the neighborhood and all the kids that live nearby. It was very cute! All went well. We sat and went over all our paperwork and determined what we need to collect. We are very close to having our Dossier ready to go to China!

Test Results

Well, nothing serious. I am not going to die (yet!). I have what you would call a "fatty" liver. I am overweight and it is affecting my liver function. The doctor says I need to exercise more, eat better and lose weight. My Doctor wrote a letter describing my ailment and that it should not hinder my duties as a Mom. It doesn't now!! However, T and I have stopped eating fast food and bought a treadmill since all this liver stuff had started. We will see how we do about getting "healthy". It's the least we can do for our children. Wish us luck!

UGGGHHH!

We switched Stinker Doodle to a new pre-school. We felt it was necessary. However, he's been there a few weeks and he has his first case of Strep Throat. Stinker Doodle's teacher called and he had thrown up at school and had a fever. He never complained about his throat hurting. A good lesson for Mommy. My poor baby....

Soccer Star!

Stinker Doodle started playing soccer. Itis his first time and he is the youngest on the team. He is making Mommy proud!

Ultrasound

Yes! I have a liver and gall bladder and all that stuff. We will not know results till next week. I have to go back in for more bloodwork, too! I really hate needles....

Big Decision....

We have decided to cancel our Homestudy visit today until we know my health status. We can't continue this adoption until we know for sure. Hopefully, we will be back on track soon. I hate doing this.....

Doctor Appointment

Talk about throwing a wrench into our plans...had a follow up appointment with my Doctor today. Seems I have some issue with my liver. My liver function results were elevated. He thinks it is nothing to worry about...However, it does not look good on my medical papers. I am so upset! I have to go for an ultra-sound of my liver and stomach area at the end of the month. T's results came back fine. What do we do now????
