Daniel is sick!

By -
We just came from the doctor, Daniel has an ear infection, upper respiratory infection, and his lungs sound junky! He has lost almost a pound since Monday! He has been vomiting a lot from all the mucous that is draining. We started him on an antibiotic today! Please pray for our little guy! We are going to continue Pedialyte for another 24 hours to keep him hydrated. He has had two doctor visits this week, a blood draw and stool samples taken. Welcome to the US.

Other than being sick he is doing great. He is just the sweetest little guy with a big personality! We can't thank you enough for all the prayers during our journey to Ethiopia. We are so excited for all the families that are getting ready to leave this week to pick up their kids. Please know that we are praying for you!

oh no,
I hope he will get better soon. We think of you every day and the kids ask about Daniel all the time. We can not wait to see you soon.
love, Lenka

Today at 4:25 the call came.... It is 4:25 I was sitting out by the pool just getting ready to get in. The neighbor had just left and my kids were swimming. I sit on the edge to slide in and just then the phone rings. I think I will see who it is, but I am not going to answer it. It says 703.... oh my I think that is America World, I start crying. I answer the phone and it is Terra she asked me how I was, I ask is this "the call" she says yes... I am yelling at the kids get out of the pool, on the deck, no off the deck, close up the pool, it's "the call" I am just crying and going crazy! The neighbor hears me and thinks that someone got hurt in the pool, she comes running. The kids are yelling it's our referral. I am apologizing to Terra, I am running in the house crying, shaking, and my phone is about to die. I find another phone calm down and listen to all the information. I called my husband on the cell phone to tell him (still crying), he thinks that som

Day Four (tomorrow we go home)

Hello again. It is Thursday night! We went to Kids Care Orphanage today. That is where Daniel lived from March 31st until June 10th. It was really sad to see all the kids there that do not have families waiting to pick them up. We got some great videos of the older kids in their school singing the ABC's and singing in Amharic. We passed out granola bars and dum dums. We also took some playground balls. When we took Daniel into the home and told the nannies, that we had Fitsum, they just went crazy. They were so excited to see him. They held him and kissed him, and spent time talking to him. One of them talked to him in Amharic and Robel our guide translated it for us on video. There were rooms of healthy children, rooms of sick kids, rooms of toddlers, and the school house of about 30 kids. The kids just couldn't get enough attention from us. I went around the school house and the toddler room and got down to their level and hugged every one of them. It was all I could do to no
