Check, check, check!

So we're still doing good here in Viva Las Vegas, but boy is it getting hot! Cassidy and I walked to a nearby park yesterday morning. I was hoping to get out before it got too hot, but at 10:00 it was already almost 100F! I felt like I was getting a bit of heatstroke so we didn't stay out long. She seems to be coping with the heat just fine :)

This morning we met with our lawyer. He was very nice and is working with our agency to get the travel papers that we need. We don't need a passport, which is a huge answer to prayer, because that would've taken quite a while to get. We're still working on getting our citizenship papers here, but everything seems to be coming together nicely. It feels like we have one huge checklist that we have to complete before we can come home. Slowly we are getting stuff checked off! Adoption papers signed, check! Met with the lawyer, check! Of course, the biggest thing on the list is Aviannah.

She's now been off oxygen for 27 hours and is doing great! I went in this morning after we went to the lawyer's and the nurse told me she had a spell during her early morning feeding. Her levels dropped really low but she was able to recover by herself without any assistance, not even a pat on the back, which is good. The doctor came by while I was there and said he'd like her to go for 5 days without any spells, so that puts us at next Monday. If all has gone well, and she passes her car-seat test she will be good to go. We'll still need to stick around after she gets released so she can follow up with a pediatrician here before we take her home. I am super anxious to get home, but at the same time I am completely fine with staying her as long as we need to for her sake. I know the hospital won't let her go until they are absolutely sure she can handle the trip and I'm glad for that. We are taking Cassidy this afternoon to go see her baby sister. She's pretty excited :) Another thing that is so great about this hospital is that we don't have to pay for parking! Considering we spend 6+ hours a day there, I'm sure that is saving us a fortune!

We miss you all and can't wait to be home with you! Well, except Cassidy. I asked her the other day if she wanted to go back home to Warman and she said "No! I want to stay here!" :) I think once the time comes she'll be ready to leave but I'm thankful she's having a good time.
