Well, according to the doctor’s office, we won’t get any results for another 2 weeks. Trying to figure out the next best move in order to NOT have to wait that long.
Desta is doing really well today. Still pooping like mad (that hopefully will change soon!) but actually took a nap (hallelujah!) and is playing Lego’s with her brother right now. Here she is observing Tobin’s amazing Lego creations. Doesn’t she look impressed?
Me? Hanging in there. Having to get used to life at home, all the time, with a child who needs to get her immune system back up to par. Getting used to accepting help. Getting used to no sleep at night. Getting used to three kids. Getting used to life in a different pace, with different stresses and still so many unknowns. God keeps working on that patience in me. I think I’ve learned? ha!
I was born in Jos, Nigeria many years ago. I spent the next nineteen years living in Liberia, Kenya and Ethiopia.
Dear Matt and Melodie,
We are delighted that Desta is doing better, and you are all in our prayers. Thanks for the lovely photo of Desta. What a cutie! Praying Tobin has a wonderful birthday party and Desta will help him make it special.
In Him,
Char and Allen
Thanks for the update. Desta looks much better than I’d anticipated. May Desta truly be a child who brings you and your family much joy! She looks very happy in this picture.
Desta looks pretty good! Looks like she is on her way..
She looks so good in the photo Melodie! Are those cheeks getting chubbier? I’m praying for you. I know this is the hardest time and we didn’t even have to deal with a hospitalization after our return. Call me short notice anytime and I’ll come down to chat and clean your bathrooms if you like. That was the hardest task for me to complete last winter.
Hey Melodie,
I’m so sorry to read about all these ordeals you guys are having to go through! Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with your whole family.
Thanks for the many updates on your blog.
Kristen
What a gorgeous little one!!!
