For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for wholeness and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. (Jer 29:11)

What we have been doing

We moved into the house of some friends Sunday, what a huge blessing!  They have a full, finished, furnished basement that we can sleep in.  Blake does not like his lights so I can share a room with him and let Gary and Bryant get some sleep in another room (this would have been a nightmare if we were still in a hotel).  Bryant finally has room to spread out and get rid of some of his pent up wiggles.

Blake's bilirubin numbers were up one more today so we will keep him under lights for at least tonight and tomorrow.  The doctor is running some other tests to rule out any underlying causes for Blake's numbers being so high.  Poor little guy is getting a little dried out from being under the lights so I am needing to increase his feedings to keep him hydrated.

Gary has an abscessed tooth that needed antibiotics to help him hold out until we get back to Colorado (it needs to be pulled).  Thankfully the couple we are staying with had a dentist they could recommend who was willing to see him today and prescribe something.  Along those same lines we had to stop at an urgent care yesterday so I could finally get some help for a sinus infection I could no longer ignore.  God has been gracious in bringing us medical treatment right when we needed it.

We will be in Utah until the paperwork for interstate adoptions is approved.  We need Utah and Colorado to agree to let us bring Blake home.  We have been praying that this would happen soon so we can go home sometime this week, we really miss our girlies.  Thank you grandma for taking such good care of them!  Until then, we are so grateful to be in a house, eating real food, with friends.
