Livi just amazes me each time we go in for surgery or some other medical procedure. She's got the most incredible recuperative powers. She took one dose of pain medication right after the surgery and hasn't needed any more since. The swelling is completely gone and she looks amazing! She's such a little trooper!
Anyway--that was our last surgery. Now we get back into our therapies routine and follow up with a couple specialists (opthalmology and orthopedics), but we don't expect any negative reports in any case. Oh--we also have an evaluation by the school district in a couple months to see what services she will qualify for once she turns 3 in July. I'm hoping they say they think she won't need anything but speech and PT, but we'll see!
Otherwise, things are going great! I've finished all the Christmas shopping and now just have to get everything wrapped and/or put together. But that's another story...

Hi Jeana,
I just found your blog and loved reading it. Your's is a great story and Alivia is a lovely girl.
I am also single and using Children's Hope for my adoption. I am currently in the waiting stage for Kazakhstan. Still trying to learn some Russian.
I live in Minnesoata but through my work I temporarily worked in Jacksonville from Jan. thorugh May of 1991--a long time ago but I remember it fondly and had so much fun there.

How's Livi doing? How are you? Did the holidays go alright? Just checking in!
I'm a single mommy too! I adopted a little boy in 2004 from Kemerovo region, Siberia, Russia. He is 5 yo now. I am currently waiting for #2 (18 months wait now). My agency is CHI too. I have finally put together a blog to help with the wait. I would love to follow along with your journey. If you like, you can visit my blog, as well. Feel free to link to my blog.
