What a week...

Had a bit of a scare with our Bug this week. He randomly had blood in his urine Wednesday night, like lots of it...bright red. We calmly left dinner dishes on the table and took him to urgent care trying not to alarm him along the way. They did some tests and gave us the option of going to the hospital or going home and returning in the morning for further tests. Thankfully Auntie Em helped us out and consulted via phone from her post at Children's hospital. We did go home with her blessing. I did sub plans and we had Bug sleep with us to keep a close eye on him. Tests the next day ruled out anything serious and left us to believe he has a post strep inflammation in his kidneys that will run its course in a few days. Whew...just a little stressful! God is good and it was a great lesson to Bug because he has this great child's faith where he just knows God healed him!

Another big item today was a call from our Adoption agency asking about our racial and gender preferences. When I confirmed that we don't have specific exclusions, they asked if they could show our family profile to two birth moms this weekend! Might be worse knowing this information. At the very least it is totally distracting! Nice to know something is happening at least. They will call if there is interest and we'll go from there. The next step would be discussing specifics of our adoption plan to see if it would be the right fit. We really want to meet he birth mom and have a chance to get a sense of her. We both feel like this is very important to knowing if it is the right situation for us. For now we pray and trust that God already knows and has it all in His perfect plan. Bug is quite excited, although he does run hot and cold on the issue. Tonight he wants a baby brother...we'll see, stay tuned!
