Hey everyone!

So,...today didn't go so well. We had the Doctor visit. It took 20 minutes to get there but it was about 1 1/2 hours. Traffic was horrible!!!! Jay and I were sick most of the day. I don't usually get that sick and today was pretty bad. So,..the visit to the doctor. When we got there the doctor told us that with the new laws with the TB shot that was just put in place we should have come yesterday. I said I didn't know about it and he already had a TB test done. In the file we got from the orphanage, they didn't have the results. The paper they gave us was the wrong date, it said 2009. It's almost 2011 and I still don't know the date!!!! So I said I can call and get that and he explained with the new laws he has to do the TB test and He is the one to turn it in. So in otherwords, it doesn't matter if he had a test done last week we have to wait on this one. He said the soonest it would be done would be Wednesday at 11. I called the embassy and they said that is fine but we have to get it there by noon because they close.

ha!!!! Are you laughing because I wasn't. :) Long story short, many phone calls later, we were able to finally talk the doctor into giving us the test results by 9 that morning and hopefully we can make it to the embassy by 12:00. It will be pushing it. So,...praying the test will be done by 9:00am and traffic won't be too bad to get to the embassy by 12 or else I don't know what we are going to do. I think the embassy is closed for the holiday after that. Our caseworker is still trying to get a hold of the Doctor from his orphanage to see if he can give us the results from last weeks test and the embassy will accept that. I don't know. We are totally relying on faith right now because there isn't much we can do anymore. We've tried everything. Maybe we will bring good news tomorrow.

On the bright side, Raja is doing a little better with the toilet. Jennifer, we tried the dumping the water over his shoulders like that and he was freaking. Maybe he has never liked it? I don't know. As for foods he really does eat everything. In fact, yesterday the guy at the hotel said he would like bread dipped in veges. I wasn't sure what that was. He brought out a plate of green stuff with clumps (veges) and bread and I thought no way. Raja ate the whole thing!!!! He loved it. We do have buffet also so that has helped a lot. We have found foods he has and hasn't liked. They treat him like a king here:). They cater to him more than me and Jay:).

Well, I may post a few pictures here. Seeing if I have ambition. Pray for the visit and the embassy will help us out somehow. More to come tomorrow.
