Waiting.... Week 6 and counting!


Well it's been awhile since our last post...

This past Monday (9/16/13) we received a few of our travel vaccinations and antibiotics from our local hospital travel clinic (Holy Spirit Hospital ~ Travel Health Program). Our Doctor recommended the following vaccinations and antibiotics for our travels to Ethiopia:

- Yellow Fever Vaccination

- Meningitis Vaccination

- Hepatitis A and B Vaccination

- Vivotif (oral typhoid vaccine)

- Malarone (oral malaria antibiotic)

- Ciprofloxacin & Lomotil
  (Antibiotics for traveler's diarrhea, bowel & stomach - as needed)

Over the past month we also began a countdown chart to pass the time. We created an elephant pocket sleeve for each week "in waiting" which holds a particular scripture verse. Every Sunday evening the family gathers in the living room to reflect on their day and to read the special scripture verse for the week! We place a giraffe 'cut out' in the 'sleeve of the week' to track our waiting time until the BIG NEWS... News of who our little boy will be! Hopefully, God willing, we'll be getting our referral email (the BIG NEWS) which tells us who our little boy is and all his information in the coming month... Please continue to keep us in your prayers (thank you).
