Almost there!!

So after 9 shots between them, bloodwork,
A chest X-ray and doctorS appts...
I think we are ready for the embassy
At 9 am in the morning!!

Deb has been a trouper chauffeuring
Us all around since arriving on friday
Here in Rio!

We left at 7:45 this morning and didn't
Make it back to the hotel until close to 5.

So Emmy has had a chest cold, but we got
Some meds today! PTL!  So hopefully after
Several doses of meds and a good nights
Sleep... maybe tomorrow will be a turning
Point for her.

Chloe is settling in to the beginnings of her
New life as well as can be expected.  She
Spoke several "English" words today without
Prompting... So I think we are making progress :)

My mom is happy to be back at home in her bed...
And Scott is glad to be back at work.  Timing
Was good for both :)

When I skyped home tonight .. The kids all looked
Very well fed.   (Thank you all SO much)!
It was sweet to see Erik back in the Middle
of the bunch.

So... After 3 years of constant ups and downs...
and 40 days of a very different normal...
It is almost serile to see the distant light
At the end of this particular tunnel.

I am ready to bring closure to this chapter...
But have learned the hard way to sit back
And let God turn the page.

So from where I sit tonight... It looks like
Tomorrow at the embassy will be a success...
And we will pick up our paperwork wed
And then board a plane that evening...
And be reunited with our family on Thursday.

But...I will let you know for sure after the final
Writing is on the paper :)

In the meantime... We continue  to covet your
prayers for the finalization of the process!
