Day 10 - Tuesday, April 24 - A Long Day

Well today started out with a phone call at 4:00 am about Kelly being admitted to the hospital. We talked to Kelly briefly and posted our prayer request, then tried to get some more sleep before our facilitator picked us up at 10:00am. We went directly to the boarding school. We had to sign our official applications requesting a court date. We also signed an official request that our court date be expedited in the hopes of getting it for this Friday, before the holidays. Our facitilator wanted to file the applications today in the hopes of persuading the judge to schedule our court date before the official consent to adopt has returned from the SDA in Kiev. We spent some time visiting with Natasha while our facilitator dropped off the applications with the judge. Once she returned, we went downtown for some pizza. And, walked through the center of town. Kind of like a walkway through the center of town. It was pretty. The picture below is when we were visiting with Natasha, doing a jigsaw puzzle.









Our facilitator received some phone calls after lunch, telling us that the SDA has changed the requirements again. The documents we sent on Saturday would have been sufficient last month. However, this time they want more signatures from the boarding school. So it was back to the boarding school quickly to redo their documents for the SDA. These will leave for Kiev tonight, which means we will not be able to receive our consent to adopt before Thursday at the earliest. This will still be in time for a Friday court date, so hopefully everything will work out. We are told the first working day next week will be Thursday, May 3. This would add a week to our trip. We stopped on our way back to the boarding school to buy tickets for the circus. We will go next Tuesday, during the holidays.


We have talked to the Kelly Bear, and she is feeling a little better better today. She still is not getting enough fluids in her & that is still bothering the Doctors. She will spend another night in the hospital, and then we will have to see how she does tomorrow.

Thank you Theresa , Michelle & Rick for all your prayers.
Shauna, my dear, you know you don't have insomnia. You just have to stick to a schedule & go to bed. I warned you about staying up all night and how it can mess up your system. It takes a long time to get it back intact. GO TO BED !!! Love you Shauna. P.S. Can I get any more fatter in these pictures. OMG !!!!!

Well could they change anything else for you guys. They work by a different drummer. Center of town looked nice. The circus will be interesting, see if it's like ours. Our prayers are with you two and also Kelly. I talked to her around noon and Sabrina just talked to her. Said she is playing her game and watching TV.
Hang in there and hope you get in on Fri. Girls are doing good here. Think they like their regular routine. Love to you both. Mom & Dad
