Dearests,
We received an email this week (after much pushing and a bit of arm twisting) informing us of Micah's intake (when he got to the transitional home) weight, referral weight, and current weight. While I can't divulge the details, he is gaining roughly 1 ounce a day and has almost doubled his intake weight. If you only knew how small our little man was at 3 months! I am talking preemie size!
This means that he is thriving! He is not, however, gaining catch-up weight as the doctor would like him to, meaning he isn't making up for lost time. We're not too worried about this, however, as we are experts at fattening up babies (did you all SEE Devon as a baby? There's a reason we called him Buddha!)
The other great news is that Court has opened and seems to be running smoothly! We have a conference call tomorrow at 2 to update referral families on current goings on and travel plans. Hopefully we will find out that the 7 families that had court dates today have passed and that we are moving up on the court date list!
Please pray for the following:
-HEALTH and well being- that Micah will continue to grow, grow, grow and stay healthy. Some children have upper resperatory infections and we do not want Micah to be sick!
-COURT DATE!!! Pray that we receive a court date in November so that, if we pass court, we are sure to travel in December before Christmas. This is so important as it will give us the much needed time off to adjst to Micah because of school being out and Chad's holiday schedule.
- PATIENCE! We are itching to go and get him. Even Cool Cucumber Chad is starting to get a little edgy! But, we also know that God will not keep our child in Ethiopia one minute longer than He desires!
We love you all and can't wait to share our court date with you! Thank you for your prayers and love during this LONG journey.
Kim
