In tears right now...got the call and neither of the kids passed court with no explanations as to why. Our new court date is scheduled for June 19th. I am glad to hear that we have a new date scheduled but that isn't the worst part of the news.
Zoey had a TB test awhile back that came back negative. They are once again suspecting TB. We don't know what her symptoms are or why they are suspecting it and how far they are in testing her for it. She has had a medical concern from the beginning related to an unexplained high ESR blood test. Maybe the TB is related to this test. I guess if she has TB that could be better than other things because TB is treatable. To diagnose they would need to start with a skin test, then do a chest x-ray, and follow up with some other septum test or something, I am not sure at this point. That test would take 8 weeks to get the results from. If the test is in fact positive Zoey would need to receive treatment in Addis Ababa for 6 months!! That's the part that I don't like at all. We wouldn't be able to be with her and we don't know whether she would need to go to a facility to live and get treatment or how that would exactly work.
Our coordinator that called this morning said that only like 1 in 10 orphans has TB. Let's pray that Zoey doesn't have it. Let's pray that test results come back quickly and that they will pass court next Friday. Thanks again for continuing to stand with us in prayer. We appreciate all of your support, phone calls, and emails so much. We continue to trust God's timing, power, and mercy during this journey.
