Sarah’s Filter and Court

Today Sarah had blood work done to determine if her surgeon should remove the filter that was put in place back in August when she had surgery for her blood clots. This is the first step in the decision of whether or not to remove the filter. Step two is to check the filter for clots. If there are no clots in the filter, and her blood test is normal, then we will talk about when to remove the filter. If there are any blood clots in the filter then it will have to remain in place, as removing the filter would release the clot or clots and they would possibly travel to her lungs. It should only be a couple of days before I have the results. Sarah is still on two shots of blood thinner each day to help prevent any future clots. 
Tonight while we are sleeping, court will be held for Bella and Allysen across the ocean. I ask for prayer that everything will go well and that tomorrow Bella and Allysen will be our daughters. I feel so blessed that this is almost over and I pray that everything goes well.

A Court Date!!!

We got a court date! It is November 20th and we don’t have to give the judge any additional paperwork. I couldn’t believe it when I opened my email this morning and saw in the subject “court date.” Finally! Now I feel like it is really going to happen. The girls are actually going to be ours. I need to start getting everything  ready for them — their beds together, a chest in their room, go through all the clothes I have bought them and organize them and put them in drawers, hang a couple of pictures on their wall, etc. I have decided to put Bella and Allysen in the same room. I have thought of every different way to have the bedrooms and finally decided I would have them share a small bedroom together. If it doesn’t work out, then I will just rearrange. 
I have another updated picture of Bella but none of Allysen. I haven’t heard much about Allysen since we left her orphanage. I am hoping she is doing ok. We definitely want to get her to a doctor quickly when she gets here to be assessed. My pediatrician thinks that she has possibly had a stroke and the cardiologist Sarah and Claire go to agrees –  from the information we have and what I told him from our visit with her.  It won’t be long now.
