This is an old gospel song they played incessantly on a commercial when I was a kid. I thought it was hokey at the time. But the other day I was feeling pretty terrible and worried, "How will I survive Chiari, EDS, and a foster kid?" And that song popped up in my mind! ONE DAY AT A TIME. Hey I can do that! Hubby cleaned the kitchen for me while I took a nice relaxing shower and plopped into my recliner for the evening. The next day and a Relpax later, I was feeling 80% better.
I had called the department of child services lady about 4x and was worried she hadn't called me back. Lo and behold! Yesterday she finally did! I was soooo excited but tried to keep calm. I told her about how we were on the other list for over 3 years and nothing happened. She said she'd send us a release form, and then they could get as much info. from the other agency as possible, so we wouldn't have to duplicate! She seemed very positive and upbeat about us getting a child soon. In fact she asked how MANY children we wanted! I told her with my health, I couldn't handle a lot, so she put us down for 2. (Hubby didn't like that part, BTW!) She said we could always change our mind on the number later. Since we are interested in adoption eventually, they will refer us a child whose parental rights are terminated or about to be terminated. She said there is still a small possibility the judge can award rights back to the biological parents but it is small. In that case, we'd be referred another child and start over. I told her after waiting this long we were willing to risk it! So basically I just have to wait for the forms to arrive, fill them out, and see what happens next! ONE DAY AT A TIME!
My tummy is feeling quite a bit better. I tried to eat a large meal last night which didn't get handled the best but - my appetite is definitely back! I can eat chicken and beef again. Still not able to eat beans, tomatoes and peppers though.
