He loved us so much he died for us!
Well our sweet boy Nathan woke up this morning with high fever, chills, headache, severe cough, and no energy. So he is home. As he has brittle bone disease he is at risk for lung complications, so I phoned our doctors office and it took 2hrs to get through!!!! Poor staff, they're swamped! Anyways apparently in our community they have stopped testing for H1N1 as it is the dominate strain they are seeing when people are being tested with flu symptoms, and if you have the flu symptoms you are being treated like you have it!!! Our Doctor advised that Nathan start Tamiflu immediately and that we stay away from the public, he didn't even want us to come in to asses him! I don't blame him! Fine with me we spend enough time in hospitals and doctors offices! So now we are just praying the other two kids don't develop symptoms and that Nathan's symptoms won't worsen. Poor guy! I'm trying to keep the other two away from him and he's lonely! I was also told to advise the school of his symptoms! So of course they are in panic mode. I hope they don't scare all the parents! It's obviously too late anyways! I was just amazed at how quickly our sweet boy got sick! He was fine last night and now he looks like "death warmed over"
On another note our scheduled Skype with Addison didn't go well, I guess they had a power outage in Beijing and we were not able to get through. So we have rescheduled for Saturday morning our time! We are all still very excited!
We had something very interesting happen last night. While we were trying to get through on Skype I decided to check my emails and we had 3 from our adoption agency, apparently a little girl with brittle bone disease "showed up"on the shared list!!!! (this is the agency that said they have never seen this disease on the list before!) They wanted to know if we wanted to look at her file! Well we knew for sure this wasn't Addison, and we truly didn't know what to do! In our hearts Addie is ours, however in our minds we still know that its not guaranteed until we have an official referral. Our agency says it looks promising for Addison referral but no guarantees! So what was this? Why was there a little girl on the list now? Howard and I decided to take a few minutes and pray together and after praying we decided not to make a decision until morning. Well not 20 minutes later we got another email saying that we should forget it as the child on the list was much older than the age range we were approved for. In our own selfish way we were relieved! And so thankful that God hadn't made us make that decision! You know I am still in awe of how much God loves us! He saw how hard it was going to be to make that decision and he chose to help us! Its kind of surreal! What an amazing sovereign God we serve! He knows all, and sees all and if we just ask for help He will show us the right path! So I challenge you to add a comment on how you have seen God reveal His love for you! I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
