It's been a long week!!!!

Last week was a long week!  I started off thinking I had a great week ahead with very little I needed to do.  Boy was I wrong!  Sunday night, my sweet little Kian fell off his bike and broke his little arm.  "It was all Daddy's fault because he was talking to me", he says!  Now he thinks his bike needs a seatbelt too.  He is something else!  Sunday night ended with a trip to the ER.  Yep, a broken arm.  A supra condylar fracture to be exact.  They put his arm in a splint and sent us home.  Now a trip the Orthopedic surgeon first thing in the morning.

This is his huge splint Sunday night!

Monday morning we met with Dr. Sandercock, his surgeon.  The took some new X-rays and decided that the best thing to do would be to put him under and try to manipulate the bone back into place with the possibility of inserting pins.  Kian was scheduled the first surgery of the day on Wednesday.  That was an early morning!  

His new cast!  He loved the blue!

Wednesday morning went very well.  The Dr. was able to push the bone back into place and cast it with no pins!  Yay!!!!  I think the worst part about the whole thing were the horrible baby pajamas Kian had to wear.  He threw a huge fit b/c he had to wear those things.  

Not liking these pj's!

Sleeping peacefully after surgery.

Kian is getting along very well now.  He was pretty moody the first few days, but has not had any pain meds since Saturday.  The cast is annoying and has made him quite clumsy.  It is very heavy!  He still complains about the itching but not too often.  The Dr. thinks he will just need wear the cast for 3 weeks!  We were super happy about that!  It will be swimming time soon and he would not like it if he couldn't jump in!  Back to the Dr. tomorrow for another check up.  He's hoping for a new cast.  The hospital only had white and he wants a green one now, so he can have a Hulk arm.  

Here they are!  Our USCIS documents ready to be mailed!!!  I  was so excited and frantic about getting these to the post office that I almost forgot to stick the check in with them!  Good thing I triple checked everything.  They should arrive in Dallas Texas today!  Now we wait for our fingerprinting appointment.  Getting closer to that list!

APPROVED!!!!

Just received an email that our home study has been approved by DCFS and is on its way to us today!  Hoping to get it tomorrow!  I will immediately be sending it off to USCIS and will hopefully be on our way to get fingerprinted soon!!!  We are getting closer to that list.  We are probably about 5 weeks away from sending off our dossier (from what I hear).  Yippee!!!!!  I am just so stinking excited I can hardly stand it!
