So I finally realized that there are those out there who are still waiting for the conclusion to the story (knowing that there will never really be one). We made it back to the US on November 16, 2007 with David. The next couple of months were to be trying - he was a sick kiddo. We spent every night waking with him, be it bronchiolitis, pneumonia, common colds or night terrors. He had surgery to insert ear tubes, as well as a night in the hospital with IV antibiotics and parenteral nutrition. The first week of January we finally had our first full nights of sleep - a real blessing. Although he had some initial difficulty warming to Jason, particularly on our return, over the past couple of weeks David has really warmed to his father. Pray that this will continue. We received word that David has put on more than 3.5 pounds and more than an inch since he has been in the States. This puts him back on the growth charts and returns him to eligibility to have his cleft palate repaired, so the surgery will be performed January 25, 2008.
Jason's back continues to improve, though it is a slow process. Pray for patience and persistence in that.
We thank you for your continued prayers and support.

Thank you so much for the update. I have wondered what has happened with you guys and this new journey.
Its nice to have some specifics to pray for you.
Thank you for letting us know how things have been going. It relieved me to know that he is in your care and at home with you. Will continue to pray for your family. Praise the Lord. In Christ, Carol
I'm so glad you posted an update. It sounds like it has been a hard transtition but is getting better. Please keep us informed of how you are all doing together as a family. We hope to see you in '09 on furlough.
so glad that David and his dad are getting to know and love each other. I'm praying that the surgery goes well. Happy 2008.
THanks for the update. It is so great to see how much he has grown and how is he snuggling and giggling with Goodman. We are praying for his surgery. Love you, friend!
