Today was a good day....

Hello everyone,
Brooklyn is still in the hospital and she is doing well. She has been being treated for asthma and bronchitis. It was a blessing we took her in when we did; the couple days of treatment have made all the difference in the world. We had her Visa medical today and because of catching all this when we did she passed and will be aloud to travel back to the states. If she had come in with out receiving the treatment she has had, she would have failed and we could have been here two weeks more. Only one more hurdle to jump and we are done with everything and on our way home.
Angie is staying with her tonight as I had spent the last two nights at the hospital with her. They only allow one parent to stay. The hospital is very good, although very old when compared to the states, and very few people speak English. French, Chinese, and Vietnamese are the language of choice.
If all goes well Brooklyn should be released tomorrow night and we have our finial interview at the American Embassy on Monday. Then we should receive her visa and back to the U.S. on the 2nd.
I try and write more later, but for now I am real tired. It was hard to sleep, and the nurses think we are crazy but Angie and I feel it is our job to take care of her. So we do all the feedings, handling, and bathing and she eats every three hours almost on the mark, which doesn’t leave a lot of time for sleep. :)
The other families are doing well and the other children have passed all their physicals as well. Today was a good day.
