We've got PINK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Our agency called this morning! We have an appointment at the US Embassy for this Friday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have only been waiting for this for 11 months! We will leave for Guatemala on Wednesday, go to the Embassy on Friday, get Gabriella's visa on Monday, and be on our way back to the good Ole USA with our daughter as a family on Tuesday!!!! I can't believe it. The only downer is that we got this call this morning as Dave was just about to take me to the hospital. I started getting sick yesterday. You know the kind of sick where you're up all night with serious stomach issues? Well, my temperature rose to 101.8 F and since I've had a kidney transplant, we take all fevers above 101F seriously. I was feeling bad. I think it may be food poisoning. We won't talk about the specific culprit. YUCK. So, as we're leaving the house, we get the 'Pink' call. That's when the adrenaline kicked in and I said I'm fine, no one or nothing is keeping me from going down to get my daughter! Anyway, we went to the hospital, they gave me some fluids, some nausea medicine, and some antibiotics. I'M GOING TO GUATEMALA. I might need a special seat by the bathroom on the plane, but I'm going to Guatemala.

That's fantastic! We are so happy for you. And in time for her first birthday. Everyone here is tickled pink! (No pun intended, actually!) We'll be praying all goes well, as we have all along. Can't wait to read that you're all back home together.
Love,
Faith
