Long Day

Well, Therese's 2 hour MRI lasted more like 3 1/2 hours. This caused a little anxiety on our part, but everything is looking good. We have the report back on her brain and everything is normal there- phew! We don't have the heart report yet, but we didn't plan on that. She is VERY tired and really has not been awake more than 5 minutes straight all day. She had general anesthetic and it has really wiped her out. The anesthetic, plus the anxiety leading up to the test, plus four days of school, plus only having been America 3.5 weeks, have finally taken their toll.

We got home around 4pm and had our 30 post-placement adoption visit at 4:30pm- yikes! We're all a bit tired and glad to be done for the day. Definitely a video night tonight!

And a special thanks to Mimi who watched Ev and Sitota and Carter ALL DAY. I know she's glad to be home tonight! What a Super Mim!

Prayer Needed

This Friday, Therese will have a 2-hour sedated MRI. During this MRI, they will be looking at her heart, to determine the course for surgery, and the blood vessels in her brain, to check for damage caused by the high blood pressure going to her brain all these years.

This weekend we were visited by new friends who knew Therese in Burkina Faso. One of the women is Burkinabe and was able to explain the procedure to Therese in French. Isn't that a blessing?! Plus, this friend shares a special connection to Therese because she herself has had multiple heart surgeries. Isn't God good to give us new friends at exactly the right time?

I'll post an update on Friday as soon as I can.
