Caleb's surgery

Our appt. last Tuesday with the surgeon went great. We really like him! He would have done the surgery that day if he could have! In the U.S. a baby with a cleft palate would have had it repaired at around 1 year of age. We knew that and had hoped and prayed for surgery this summer so we can then start speech therapy. The Dr. thought he could even do the surgery that Wed. or Thurs. but he wasn't sure of his schedule and we had plans to go to the cabin in Shaver. It turns out the only thing he had available was Tues. the 7th. He said he would squeeze us in, work overtime, do whatever he had to do. WOW! Again, be careful what you pray for! Did not expect it to be this soon, but so thankful. The next phase of our journey in bringing this precious boy home. So now just trying to get things done, get ahead, get prepared. we will not find out until Mon. what time we have to be there. Kind of annoying for this planner...Caleb will have to spend at least one night in the hospital, I will stay with him. Please pray that everything goes smoothly and he won't have too much pain. I think it could be rough for a week or two.
Also another wonderful thing is happening on Tuesday. My brother-in-law and
sister-in-law will be meeting their new daughter in Russia that day. Her story is absolutely AMAZING! Check it out on themommymap.net!
