Some Praises

After my Oh so pitiful previous post, I want to share some major GOD things.

M woke up writhing at 11:30 pm last night.  I got up and put her on the potty, she peed and was still screaming, no idea why.  So I laid hands on her and prayed aloud, in C's fashion, "Lord move this sickness, whatever is paining her, from her body and give her peace throughout the night."  M fell to sleep, almost immediately (a bit concerning, actually) and woke up at 7am.  What a blessing.  H fell asleep at 9pm after returning from the airport, and didn't wake up until 6:45 am... praise the Lord

M didn't wet the bed... she slept in panties.  And she's only had one accident

There may be a way to see Scott early.  If it happens, it'll only be God.  Scott sent me a letter allowing me to fly on a military hop to destination unknown... with all four kids.  Sounds great, huh?  Well, there are a few catches:  It's space A (stand by) and they only know where the flights are headed a week in advance.  So, we are praying that there will be flights in about 2 weeks and that we will be able to get on!
Catch number 2:  There are only a handful of flights that come home.  We are praying that we will be able to make a complete round trip and bring home someone special with us.  So, we are asking that the Lord will not allow us to get on a flight leaving here unless He will provide a flight returning home!
This would be an amazing blessing if we could see Scott a whole XX days earlier than expected and in a wonderful destination unknown.  It would be a great place reunite and recuperate. 

Our plumbers found us a soaking tub at no additional charge.  And, they both are very interesting in adoption after spending 4 days with us!  In fact, one of them gave me his wife's number and said she would LOVE to talk to me!

Our final bill for the plumbing is about $4,000 less than we thought it would be... we still have to put the floor and walls back together though!

Kids are trying to "help" me clean up after the tornado hit... not a literal tornado!

H's MRI on the spine was approved by insurance and they scheduled her for tomorrow.  I am a bit apprehensive but trusting the Lord for conclusive results.

I ADORE my kiddos!

Well, I am off to home depot to find some bathroom tile.  Yay!

Thanks for all the encouragement!

These last two posts are so full... I almost don't know what to say... other than I am once again awed by your indomitable spirit and steadfastness. You ARE a sweet savor to the Lord in the midst of it all.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you guys often. We're hoping that everything will fall in place for you to get to fly to see S. early. Please, Lord!
We'll also be praying for H's MRI and the results. Let us know what you find out.

Love you SO much!
Amber

I'd surely like to email you regarding some things we've found are helpful...I worked with special needs kids for years as a teacher...and learned ALOT by trial and error about 3rd world country kids and prescriptive things dietwise that help "catch up" and heal long term issues from the things they face.

Can't wait to hear the results of the MRI. I know as a Mommy the waiting can be the worst! I'm so glad the project is almost done. Having a torn up house is the pits.

Wow, there is a lot happening at your house. I am glad that things seem to be going better. I'll be praying for you:)
