Day 3

We had a much better day today with the girls and even went next door to the San Carlos for dinner tonight. McKelle held down her food, but still has bowel problems. Cindy, the Guatemalan Coordinator, has a prescription delivered for her to help and they changed her formula to a non lactose type. She has slept a lot, but has been a joy.

McCaule has been a very happy camper today. She loves the pacifier and is eating well. I think she's getting used to us. She likes both Rod and I where McKelle has preferred me today when she is unhappy.

We had a good visit with Cindy. She discussed the details of our case with us and the route she believes it will take. Not really any new news except she reassured us that our case would not be hindered now that our Power of Attorney for both girls is registered. She has been doing this kind of work for 8 years. We gave her the gift of candy in a Southlake coffee mug today and she was touched by it.

We met the pastor from Iowa today and had a lovely visit. We also were able to meet their little boy. He's a cutie. They will return home on Thursday. The gave us some extra receiving blankets they had for the girls to use and diapers for spit rags. We've needed extra with all the extra fluids flowing the last couple of day.

Yesterday I gave McCaule a bath in the sink. She was so cute. I plan to give McKelle one tomorrow, but was waiting until she felt a bit better. We found out a little about the foster moms who are caring for the girls. One is a young mother and has children of her own. The other is a grandmother who has a large extended family and whose daughters also foster children.

It was a lot noisier around here last night and today as many more families arrived to either visit or pick up their children. We were spoiled by the quietness over the weekend.
