A tidbit of good stuff...

Timothy had some blood work done a couple of weeks ago.  I called our local pediatrician and they couldn’t give me the blood work results because they were sent straight to the docs in Ia City.   I have NO idea of all of the actual medical names for everything, and at the moment, I don’t even have the little list of numbers that the nurse relayed to me on the phone.  But, I can tell you the good news is that his Thyroid is perfect, he tested negative for Celiac disease, and he is not anemic.  LOL   All of these things are very good news.   Put that with the negative C-spine X-rays (negative for AAI, which was also confirmed by the Ia City doc), and we can say that we have a pretty healthy little dude!  YAY!!   We go back to Ia City on July 6 for a full day of testing, developmental, behavior, etc. so we’ll learn more about that side of things then. 
There’s not too much else happening around here.  The school year is winding down.  I will be sending in the paperwork to re-register through the state for my daycare in the morning.  I hope that will help with the money stuff.  Things have been very very tight financially for a little while.   It’s hard. 
There are so many families who are working so hard to bring home their kids.  It’s hard to not be able to help especially when so many people helped us so much when we were working to bring Timothy home.  I pray every day for the families in the process right now.  I know that that is a big deal too, but I wish I could do more.

  1.  Glad to know all his tests are coming back good! The c-spine stuff is NO FUN! Axel is currently in surgery, and they've just finished attaching the halo to his head. It's going to be a long 6 months!

  2.  Soooo glad the Tman is a healthy dude!  And as far as helping goes, we are also having it pretty tough, I can't donate like I used to and it hurts my heart....  I feel your pain my sista but I know you are always there cheering us on all the way!

    Love wins,
    Renee
