You want to do what???

Today we had our Dr.'s appointment in Chicago at the University of Chicago's International Adoption Clinic. Besides the fact that Yohanna Dinknesh is a typical girl and cannot stand getting her height and weight measurements, it went well. Oh yeah, and she wouldn't poop on demand so we have to take back a "sample." Turns out there are many similarities between the vet and the pediatrician! Of course the worst part for us was seeing them take 11 (yes, eleven) viles of blood from our little pumpkin! Actually, she didn't cry at all with the blood draw (was there sedation in her sippy cup? we will never know!) We gained a lot of good information and will go back in 1-2 weeks for a follow-up to determine if she needs any special treatments, vaccines, or diet. The two main things that we are working on right now is eating and sleeping. So basic, but for her to self-regulate those things is very difficult. Bye for now!
