Settling In

The children at the home are settling in with their new families. Yesterday I spent most of the day doing health exams on each child. Some of them will need chest x-rays to rule out the possibility of TB or pneumonia. There are a few with unidentifiable rashes that I definitely need to refer out to an expert. There were a few nasty wounds as well. Most are adjusting really quickly to their new environments. It is amazing how resilient they can be!! One particular girl, Olivia, has been giving her new parents a bit of a challenge. She has a strong spirit and cries at the drop of a hat. Pray that Mike and Dorcas will have wisdom in handling her.
