the latest medical update

tomorrow morning at 9:45 we have our 'arrival' pediatrician appointment, a head-to-toe check up i think. really good chance there is going to be some blood work too. we will bring her medical updates from china, with her immunizations and such, and the blood work here will determine if what she was given at her orphanage was any good.
it is reported that many times the vaccinations given to orphans is old and dead, or has not been stored correctly and dead. so, although the report states a recent shot, it was a dud. i hope she is good to go... we all know how good i am at shots (pass out mess), tonya is no better, and now we have to try to hold a crying baby. someone should shoot video of this, no joke. it will be funny years from now.
surgery update: we have scheduled her palate surgery appointment for next thursday, sept 18 first thing a.m. it is a big surgery that we hope she does not ever remember. she will spend the night there, see how she does with taking in soft solids before she goes home. the subsequent four weeks will be tough. only soft solids and when we are not holding her, she will need to wear arm restraints so that she does not reach in there. poor bubs.

so, thats that. jackie and penny are here, loving that. lucy watches penny as she moves around, i think she is amused by her. have to post a video of g-ma, jackie, penny, tonya and lucy later. that requires downloading and everything...
