I will return!

****see below for Myah's dental update:
I am typing this from a borrowed laptop, wouldn't you know it that when you really need your computer, it needs a nap! We are taking mine in today to hopefully get fixed. We are rushing around like mad these last and next few days in order to get prepared for Mark's eye surgery on Wednesday, and it is like going one step forward and two steps back. We need to do our taxes on line before he can't see very well for 3 weeks, so that is on the agenda today. In addition to turning our van in (lease), and Myah's dreaded dentist appointment today. Please pray that she cooperates! I am so excited that tomorrow I get to see my adoption buddies! Myah and I can't wait! Then my mom comes down for a few days!! Yeah, I love having her visit! Bless her heart for helping me out with the kiddos. I went to a local Chinese store yesterday and purchased some items to decorate the house for Chinese New Year, and bought a few traditional "foods" to try. I went to the same place last year and they are just so sweet, I will have to post pictures of my dining room later, I decorated it for the holiday and Myah is just loving it!
Please say a prayer for my Mark, I know he isn't looking forward to having this done again, but I have seen a huge decline in his eyes over the past few weeks so I know it is time. It will help and it will be worth it in the end.
I also have to please ask that you say an extra special prayer for a family friend Jason who was just diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor last week, ( we just learned it is stage 4 cancer). He is 29 years old, has two little children, his daughter is in my niece Annabelle's ballet class. Jason's big sister Dawn was my sister Melanie's best friend growing up and Jason is a very good friend of my brother in law Eric. In a small town, everyone knows each other! When Jason's mom Darlene was pregnant with him, my sister was in Kindergarten with Dawn. My mom went to conferences and the teacher congratulated my mom on the "good news", evidently my sister Melanie wanted our mom to be pregnant as well and spread the rumor that my mom was pregnant too!! We still laugh about that! It does not sound very good for Jason right now, they did a biopsy last Thursday and the tumor is the worst that the Dr. has ever seen, very entangled around his brain. It is just heartwrenching to see this family experience such pain. Jason was just telling my sister about the headaches/migraines he was having, never expecting this kind of outcome. Please pray for a miracle at this point. He was very excited about being the new head coach of the baseball team this spring, he was always on Eric's teams growing up, they were even on the state runner up baseball team together, he is very athletic and talented! Thanks so much for your prayers!!!!
*we just arrived home from the pediatric dentist, Myah did very well! Behavior wise that is, her teeth aren't so great. She has dental hypoplacia, her teeth were not formed correctly in utero probably due to improper prenatal care, ( see my tears), and she has to go back in a few weeks to have a crown put on her decayed tooth and 3 fillings put on her other teeth. I am so thankful that we found this awesome dentist, he was wonderful and so were all of his staff, they fell in love with Myah and I know that she is in good hands. We will do the fillings on the one side one week and then the crown and other filling the next week. The dentist himself was adopted and was so informative and compassionate. I told Mark on the way home that I am so glad that we are able to get her the care she needs. The dentist also agreed that her tonsils were huge and was glad to hear that we were going to an ENT , we told him his name and he told us he really likes him. So that is next on our agenda. Myah was very proud of her little bag of loot today, she came carrying it out like she had just won the lottery! Other than that they said that we have been taking very good care of her teeth and to keep up the good work! The hygenist thanked us for sharing Myah with her today, she said Myah was just "yummy!" I thought that was soooo sweet!
