Then there was the explanation of the issue and the possible complications. Not life threatening, but worrisome non the less. Receiving a referral and health updates is just like check-ups while pregnant you know? We continue on and love and accept our child fully! Well, we gave birth to a healthy son, with a minor issue that healed itself over the next several months. Button will come home and you will work through any issues together as a family! I will be praying for full health for Button!

I still can't get over how powerful it is. Even so long after our guy was finally in our arms I'm still amazed. : ) Glad you got through this and got information so quickly!!!!!Melissa Enshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13150144883345686275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3953430069221343164.post-72140382814526239612009-09-19T11:29:31.525-04:002009-09-19T11:29:31.525-04:00Hey, I'm so sorry to hear what you've been...Hey, I'm so sorry to hear what you've been going through. Been completely out of the loop and as Ruby is fast asleep I thought I'd catch up on a couple blogs. Whatever it is with Button, you two can handle it! You are wonderful, dedicated, and loving and that's all he really needs. The rest you will figure out and it's sounds like you've already got your doctor on it which is great. Wishing you and Brian peace while you wait. Much love from Thailand!Maci Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13506178512279029315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3953430069221343164.post-17211150481239281262009-09-18T21:47:05.551-04:002009-09-18T21:47:05.551-04:00I'm so sorry you had a scare with Button's...I'm so sorry you had a scare with Button's health. He will be perfect--- no matter what!!!<br /><br />You know, once we received Sophie's referral we didn't get any updates at all--- none, nada, zilch. At the time I felt terribly robbed but looking back now I'm thankful for that lack of knowledge. And guess what? She's perfect too. :-)Wyndeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08114016535683459963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3953430069221343164.post-87786603087643116262009-09-17T20:10:42.033-04:002009-09-17T20:10:42.033-04:00I did not know.

I'm sure that the combination of helplessness and distance was frightening though.

And when we arrived, we knew why they hadn't sent us an update. <br /><br />For us, there were little to no long term challenges, but the first two years home were tough. But - like you - the Tongginator was our daughter. And we are so very blessed to parent her. When we arrived home, we didn't expect her to ever mainstream... yet she surprised everyone.<br /><br />Hugs and prayers to you during this time.a Tonggu Mommahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01365812914466181060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3953430069221343164.post-86697511530903139402009-09-14T20:05:56.667-04:002009-09-14T20:05:56.667-04:00You guys are already great parents!
