At this time the doctor does not feel surgery is necessary. Praise God! He is being monitored for infection and the swelling is going down.
Carsen is also doing better. She says she is happy she stayed and she is enjoying herself more now. The girls went to St, Joseph's guest house and hung out with the boys there yesterday. I'm sure getting out has helped.
Still no news on our file. I've been waiting for an e-mail from our attorney for over a week. I'm trying not to get frustrated but it is so hard. Even an e-mail that says she has no new news but is working on it would be better than nothing! I talked to Nathan (the man who handles paperwork etc for the orphanage) and he assured me that the attorney is working on the files and she said she would be e-mailing me today but so far nothing and it's almost 7 pm in Haiti. So I guess another night without knowing anything. Talk about a faith-building time!! I don't know how people who do not know Jesus get through this process!!! I really do not want to go through it again!!!
please, pray we hear something soon!

Carsen in Haiti and other news
Hi! All!!
Carsen is in Haiti and she is having a hard time adjusting. Please pray for her! I know with time she will do better!!
I did find out while in Haiti that we are waiting on presidential approval and 1 more signature and we will be out of IBESR. Praise God!! It could happen tomorrow or in 3 months but at least we know there is something being done on our file.
Sutton is walking!! She will be 1 on June 30th and is doing so good. She really should be delayed considering her rocky start in life and the fact that she lives in an orphanage in a third world country but I guess she didn't get that memo!! She is amazing!
Landon is getting so big. He is talking and was even saying Sissy by the time I left. He took a bad tumble the night before I left and it looks like he will need surgery on his mouth. He fell out of a plastic resin chair (he was standing in it) and 1 of his teeth was pushed into the roof of his mouth. It appears the tooth is broken above the gum line in several places. He is on antibiotics to prevent infection. We are hoping that it can wait until he gets home so he doesn't have to have surgery in Haiti!
Hopefully the next time I post it will be with news that we are out of IBESR.

Update
Hi!
It's been awhile since I reported anything new, that's because there is nothing new to report!!! We are still in the blackhole of IBESR (Haitian social services) and until they release our file there is nothing we can do!!
Carsen and I leave for Haiti on Tues. June 7th. I'll be escorting 2 little girls home to their mother in Washington on the 11th. Carsen will be staying at the orphanage until July 1st. She will be working there for the month. She will also get to spend Sutton's first birthday with her. It's hard to believe that it's been almost a year since we found out about this sweet little girl!! She was only a few weeks old and a few pounds when we committed to her. Now she is almost 1 and trying to walk!!
I'm praying that they will be home really soon!! Landon turns 2 in July and we really need to get him in to see a cardiologist ASAP. His condition typically begins to worsen after the child turns 2!! Right now he is doing really well and we are praying that he continues to stay healthy!!
I'll post new pictures when I get back from Haiti!! Blessings!!
