Embassy went well on Wednesday and we'll pick up her visa, official birth certificate and other documents on Friday and then technically we're free to leave.  We were unable to get flights out on Friday so our flight home will be on Sunday evening.  

We got Kyah on Monday afternoon and could tell right away that she didn't feel well.  She's been fussing, clingy, eating fair and even though we don't yet know what "normal" is, we can tell she's not.  On Wednesday after Embassy we could tell she had a real bad stomach ache and this morning she woke up with a fever.  We were able to bring her in to a hospital today and after seeing a Dr. (thankfully it's the one that is employed with Bethany and has seen Kyah before), getting a finger prick & stool specimen, she was diagnosed with a bacterial intestinal infection.  We got an antibiotic and told that it should work within 48 hours.  Praise God that we were able to get her there as it was quite an adventure!!

God works in amazing ways.  As I reflect about our current situation, I am so thankful that we were able to get her this week!  I don't know if the orphanage would have been able to identify that she isn't feeling well and get her the treatment that she needs.  Todd and I are able to comfort her and be her advocate and be the ones to hold her when she's feeling yucky.  I was upset that we couldn't leave on Friday night, and now, I'm relieved that we're not leaving.  God willing, she'll begin to feel well and we can connect with the real Kyah before coming home.  We'll have the chance to let the antibiotic do it's thing before our 24 travel back to the states.  Whew! 

We ask that you pray that Kyah begins to feel better, eats and drinks well and that the antibiotic agrees with her and works!
