Better Days up Ahead

I am trying to fix my eyes on the prize - my baby in China. I spent another agonizing night battling kidney stones. My doctor is out of town for ten days. If the stone isn't gone by the time he returns I will need to have surgery in order to deal with this before travelling to China. I was sad to miss work again because of the financial impact and the time away from my class, but nothing could be done. The good news is that all but one of my walls are dry. On Friday the carpet will be cleaned and relayed and then my furniture can go back and I can clean the kitchen floor, which is driving me crazy. I will need to patch all the holes drilled in all the walls so that they could dry. I just know that brighter days are up ahead and it won't be long until I am on my way to China.

    Christi! I just can't believe how much you're having to shoulder right now. I am feeling for you, girl. I've had kidney stones in the past. I know how painful they are. Take care.

    So sorry you are feeling bad! I hope you don't have to have surgery. If you do have surgery it will be ok. I know someone who had it recently, and it was a real fast recovery. She is also a teacher and she was back in class in just a couple days.

    Thank goodness it is now instead of while traveling.

    Hope you get your house back to normal soon.

    Take care,

    Nanette

    P.S. I think of you often. I can't wait til we go get our Yang girls!

    Hi Christi:
    I just wanted you to know that I think what you are doing is wonderful. Thank you for sharing with the world.
    I found your blog on the Capps board. I have twins who both just recently had Cranio surgery. My daughter had hers in August and my son just had his done September 6th.
    I, myself am adopted(within the United sates though.)This little beauty is going to be so lucky to have you! Good luck with everything and I look foward to reading more.
    Best wishes - Cindy

    Hey Christi~
    You will do fine. Believe me, thing will work out. I won't lie, It is very hard not to worry about the "does she or doesn't she" aspect, but you need to follow your heart and never stop believing in this little girl. You will find the strength to overcome any issues she may have. You will do great! if I can help in anyway, please don't hesitate.
    ~Cindy
