Columbus Children's today

Well, we finally got Gideon's bloodowork done. Than took blood for his cystic fibrosis test and for milk/soy allergies. He did amazingly! He fussed when the lap tech put the band around his arm, but didn't cry or fuss when they put the needle in his arm or for the whole minute or so it took to get the blood. I was so proud of my little guy! We should know something in a couple weeks. Please pray for him if you think of it. My gut still says he just has some sort of allergy/intolerance. But CF is very scary and I am obviously a little worried. His weight today at the hospital was 22.6 lbs. I think that is up a couple oz. from 2 months ago.

The kiddos have been home long enough now that we have to have their 6 month post placements done. This is just a follow up that our home study agency does per a government/adoption country requirement. Pretty much a social worker will come to our house and make sure things are going well. We also need to take both kids back to Cincinatti Children's hospital to have their 6 month follow ups there. Oh, and I need to add re-adopt the kids to the list. Ohio recognizes Anna and Gideon as our legal children, but we need to legally change their names and get them US birth certificates and social security cards. They are legally Ana Maria Cole and Jose Alexander Cole right now and we'd like to get those first names fixed. Gesh, we need to get on the ball!
