Away We Go!

We are on the plane! Of course, our flight is delayed about 30 mins! Plane is updating its software. Is that good? My mom is loving the delay!
We are juiced about going and everything else has gone smoothly today. Can't wait to see and hold little Gracie for the first time!
Rob

we are ALL off to China!!!

Rob got a cat scan this afternoon and it looked amazing!!! The surgeon looked at it herself and she saw NO signs of infection. She walked in and told Rob he needs to get packed! Yeah!!! So Rob and I and Rob's parents are off to China tomorrow. Our plane leaves at noon. We meet Gracie on Monday! Did you all hear that? I will be holding Gracie in my arms on Monday! I will try to update the blog during the trip so keep checking back!

feeling better

Rob is feeling a lot better and we are getting very excited!

Travel plans and Rob's health

We are all set to go to China from Sept. 9-24. However, Rob is very sick. He has diverticulitis. He will have a second CT scan and meet with the surgeon on the 8th to see if they will let him go to China on the 9th. You can imagine this is tough news. We are working out the details that would allow me to go to China on my own if i have to. It is possible but not ideal. The good news is he is responding well to the medications and feeling better each day. Please pray that the next scan would show much healing and that he would be able to travel with us.
