FINALLY...GOOD NEWS to report!!!

On Thursday, my family and I made the very hard and painful decision to return home (starting out on Friday) and leave my aunt under the care of the hospital. As hard as that decision was, my aunt understood fully why we had to leave and what we will be doing. First, my mom is going to be working on getting her transferred back a hospital in/or around our area. There is so much work that needs to be done and it was nearly impossible to do anything while in Georgia...so we left to return home on Friday. As I said before, it was very hard to leave, but after hearing the nurses and doctors confirm to us how much my aunt has improved over the past few days, we did what we had to do...Since we return home, my aunt health has improved tremendously and it couldn't have been possible without all your prayers and support...THANK YOU! (it is truly amazing how my aunt pulled through...from at first hearing that she only had a 10% chance of surviving to hearing that she can be coming home soon...it is truly amazing!)

Once we finally made it home after a very VERY long ride and I had a chance to sit down and go through my mail...guess what we got...OUR 797C!!!! That's right! So all that's left to do is send a copy of it off to our agency and get our visas for our travel to our Annabelle (which I am currently working on...)

Finally, I feel like things are moving forward...my aunt is really pulling through this terrible incident...my grandmother's health has also improved do to the fact of changing around her medication...and we are one step closer in bringing our Miss Annabelle Faith home!

You are being graced by the Lord for sure. He sees how deeply you care and how far you will go to be there for your loved ones. He is rewarding your love and patience by speeding up the people in paperwork purgatory.
Can you imagine how the people in such positions really feel? It must be a truely thankless, glamourless job. We should all take a moment to pray for them so they can continue to bring together these forever families....
BIG HUGS!!!!XOXOXOXOXO
