Stomach Flu =(

We received an update on Noah today, but it wasn't great news. He has been sick and was in the hospital from 4/2 until 4/8. =( He had Acute Gastroenteritis. Which is a "long, and potentially lethal bout of stomach flu." Apparently he got dehydrated, poor little guy. I assume he is doing better now.

It did give us a weight update. He is 17.8 pounds! I think that was when he went to the hospital so he might have lost a little since then.

When I first read the update I immediately felt sick. To think that MY son was so sick and was put in the hospital, and here I am halfway around the world, not even knowing anything about it until today. It just kills me.

I realize that they tend to be overly cautious in Korea with their babies and I am thankful for that, and chances are if he were home he wouldn't have been admitted to the hospital at all, but still, the thought of him being there breaks my heart. And I don't know if his foster mother was able to stay with him, and to think that he was there, hurting and not having anyone with him makes it worse.

I want him home so badly. My heart is just aching to hold him. There is an emptiness inside of me that I can't explain. I know that we are just in the beginning stages of the wait to pick him up, and I know it will only get worse. I am praying daily for patience.

I know that God is watching over Noah, and everything will happen in His perfect timing.



Psalm 20:4 (NLT)
May He grant your hearts desire and fulfill all your plans.

Psalm 138:8 (NLT)
The Lord will work out His plans for my life-for your faithful love, O Lord, endures forever.
