Wednesday we left our boys at Grandma Jane's and took Gracie up to the Children Hospital for testing. They hired an interpreter that spoke Amharic. She was so sweet and it was really fun to communicate with Gracie.
Towards the end she got the major giggles. And when she starts laughing I do to! My husband was quite embarrassed. The Nurse was trying to talk to me and we were both laughing so hard tears were streaming down our face.
Then we took her to Red Robins. Here she is with some of her battle scars.
She slept the whole way home.Yesterday I took her to her physician in Englewood to check her TB shot. She tested positive. So we took her down to Dayton Children for a chest x-ray. Her stool samples also came back positive. :( She is now on medicine for that as well as the rest of the family. Parasites be gone!!! We take her back down to Dayton Childrens on Wednesday to find out the results for the TB. If she does have Tuberculosis she could be hospitalized for a couple weeks and on medication for the next 9 months. TB is very contagious so we are not taking her out until Wednesday. Please pray that the TB is not advanced and the rest of our family has good immune systems.
So glad she is home and we can get the treatment she needs to finally start growing and feeling better. Have a good weekend!
