So we are one week and a few days into having our HEALED baby!!! I can't tell you what a relief and how exciting this has been. To have a child that could hardly go outside, ended up in the ER, or on oxygen, on a daily inhaled steroid to semi-function...Going from that, to a boy is breathing TOTALLY WELL!! So much fun! I am finally sleeping without a monitor on him. He is enjoying playing outside, going places, and the stress relief! I don't have to check the air quality app before going to the grocery store...I'm telling you! We are more than thrilled. So beyond thankful. He can breath and breath well. And his skin is clearing and no runny snotty nose ALLLLL the time!
God is so good. We just asked. Many people were asking:) A few people didn't want us to move:) So in case any of you were planning on buying my house or car, they are off the market!:) I guess Boise, Idaho is stuck with us for now.
Now onto the next thing that I really want to keep track of. We said yes to having our profile shown for this 5 year old little girl. Her name is Aaliyah. A name we had previously picked as a girl name we would use. Also before the whole thing with the two girls from Africa happened, we had actually said we were interested in possibly a 5 year old girl. When the girls from Africa showed up, we saw a need and thought who are we to say the age? So we stepped in big time faith for them. Well then they were reunited with their father. So here we sat cleared home study, also cleared Internationally. But neither of us had a peace about sending our dossier off to Africa. THAT was totally strange because it is all I've talked about since the beginning. But I had no peace. So we hung on to it with the clock ticking. THEN this situation came up. Well to even be considered for Aaliyah you had to have all that completed, which because of the Africa situation we are ready. So all that to say, we are ONE of FOUR total families being shown to Aaliyah's mom. They seemed to think they will be showing her mom the profiles this week or weekend sometime. It was pretty unclear. So that's that. So many people are praying for Aaliyah now. For that we rejoice. We want her to go to the best family for her, so we are praying God would move her mom's heart to the perfect place for her daughter. I of course hope that is us!! I'm not going to lie to you!:) BUT!!! I'm so happy no matter what because I know that God has his hand on that sweet child who is getting ready to lose so much. He has the perfect place getting all worked out for her. So I will let you know if it's us! and I will let you know if it's not.
Either way, if you read my blabbing, could you say a prayer for her and her mom, and the whole thing? Thanks!
