Okay, We're ready now!

We met with some of the team at the Bill Holt Clinic today. They will be treating A*'s HIV.

The Doctor was so gentle. There's no other way to describe her but that she has a sweetness about her that I imagine translates extremely well with children.

The one nurse I was able to meet was very informative and supportive.

Together they informed us of what to expect and how things will progress when A* comes home.

As we slid into our private elevator Dustin and I waited until the doors closed to begin sharing our excitement and thoughts about the meeting. By the time we got to the ground floor Dustin looked at me and said,"I'm ready"

I responded with the redundant "For what?"

"For A* to come home!"

My thoughts exactly.

PS- As I type this our SW is typing up our Home Study. I know this because she's emailing me with questions about the proper spelling of our doctor's names, etc., as she types. If she can get this thing submitted before the end of the month we hope to have the HS back before the end of Dec (which may or may not be realistic with the holidays). Then, we can submit our dossier and it should be in Addis Ababa before the end of Jan.
