We saw Macey today!

Good News, We saw Macey today! We went to the orphanage first thing this morning. We were excited to see BOTH kids today. As it turns out, Macey's doctor was home sick today. I had to address the principal (director) of the orphanage. I explained our situation about Macey being sick, not having been able to see her for 1 week and the fact that we are leaving with them tomorrow. We have only met him the one day, when we arrived. We made a comprimise. We had already gone to get Marcus while I went to check on Macey. That way Wayne, Taylor and Tanner would be spending time with him. We were able to see both kids just not together. We played with Marcus for the first hour then returned him to his groupa. The second hour was spent with Macey just inside her groupa, it's what we would call a "mud room." It's a small room with lockers for coats and shoes, no toys or chairs to speak of. We fetched Wayne a chair and the kids and I played on the floor. I opened her groupa door, I saw her right away. She looked beautiful! I couldn't wait to get my hands on her. They took her potty and wiped her nose before bringing her to the little room we were waiting in. It didn't take long before she came to the door with ALL smiles. She remembered me! It was a great time together. We played with a new toy Tanner bought from the outdoor market. It is a spinning top. Macey loves it! Tanner made a good choice. She was all smiles to see us but I could tell she didn't feel well either. I can only imagine being "cooped up" in a room with other sick kids for a week. I can tell she is conjested and we had to wipe her nose several times. She was not running any fever. It was hard to return her to her groupa after our visit. She didn't want to leave us. She held on tight and cried when I let her go. It was heartbreaking! We returned later this afternoon to play with her again. We chose not to visit Marcus becasue we didn't want to give them any excuse to say her had been exposed to the sickness, even if it would have only been through us. It was hard not to visit with him, I'm sure he missed our time together. We felt it was the best option considering our circumstances. We do not want to be responsible for anything changing our plans at the last minute. Our second visit with her went about the same. It was a sweet time together. We were trying to make up for lost time. Unfortunately, she left the same way as this morning, upset. I wonder if she was afraid we wouldn't return again for another week or she just didn't feel well. Either way it was hard to leave her AGAIN. We will all be so happy to be together tomorrow! Please pray she continues to get well. I have a feeling once she has some fresh air and is not exposed to eveyone elses sickness she can get well sooner. Please continue to pray for THE process. Nothing is over until it's over! I look forward to sharing our Good News tomorrow.
Thanks again for continuing to pray for EVERYONE involved in this adventure. It is a GOD thing that we are even here able to rescue these TWO precious babies.
Blessings,
