Eliza Jane
Eliza has been with us for six weeks now.
She seems more comfortable.
She smiles a lot.
She points about things that need to happen on schedule.
She hoards pretty much everything in her bed.
She likes routines, and gets very upset when things don’t happen on time.
And, after six weeks, I have to […] Read more…
Computer In Chinese
Egads!
I’m long since ready to turn in for the night, and I wanted to download a few pictures from my camera onto our laptop only to find that Eliza was on it and reset the entire computer as if she is the administrator, the pages and toolbar are in Chinese, and everything says it is […] Read more…
More Blooms In Our Garden
We are home!
I wanted to write a post yesterday, but it was such a whirlwind day of quick changes, and so many things to remember, that I was just too drained to post.
We saw the surgeon who performed Evangeline’s surgery yesterday morning. He was so pleased with the way the surgery site was […] Read more…
Some Hard Things
Evangeline is sleeping late this morning. It is quiet, and I want to share a few things with all of you today that I wasn’t sure I could or should share before.
I think there is a trend in the blog world to write about the fairy tale of adoption. And it is a fairy […] Read more…
Not By Might
Today has been a much better day.
Evangeline has really been good today. She’s perky. Her fevers are gone. She’s eating, and smiling a lot more. Her foot is healing really well, so well that the surgeons cancelled her surgery today.
Praise God!
I did fall today on the wet floor in Evangeline’s room […] Read more…
Honesty
It’s been another long day.
Evangeline’s foot is still infected, and she will be having surgery again tomorrow to further debride the bone and wash out the infection. She has been sicker today from the antibiotics.
Evangeline has not been told that they had to take off half of her foot. I am very concerned […] Read more…
Surgery Day
Evangeline is all ready for surgery and playing a Play Station. We are waiting to hear from the surgeon that he is ready for her. It could be any time today, but we are expecting it will be late morning.
We really appreciate all of your prayers and suggestions. Your faithful support has been such […] Read more…
Admitted
I’m at Children’s Hospital with Evangeline.
The Orthopedic doctor decided to admit her immediately and do surgery tomorrow to try to get rid of all the infected bone. He said it is like cancer. It eats away at the bone and he has to be certain he gets all of the infection because it spreads. […] Read more…
Medical Issues
I just got back from the wound care specialist’s office with Evangeline.
We had X-rays done on her foot last week and we just got the results today. There is significant degeneration of the bones in her right foot. The doctor is not sure what has caused the disintegration. It may be […] Read more…
