The whole family is now sick. It seems as if we have the Asian equivalent to Montezuma’s Revenge. Last night was miserable, and so was today. We all seem to be feeling a little better this evening. We think we ate something bad.
Today was so busy, which was extra difficult since we were all sick. At 9:00 AM we went to get Liam’s passport at the immigration office. Then we went from there to the US Embassy in Saigon. We had an interview with one of the agents. She was American and very nice. She asked us a few standard questions which we answered honestly. She was in a hurry to get to the airport so she moved through all five families very quickly. She said that our paperwork was approved and that it would be available for pickup tomorrow. We went straight from there to the hospital for medical exams. The exam itself was very simple. They looked Liam over, asked a few questions, and took his weight, height, and head circumference. He weighs just under 20 pounds right now. The hospital here is not much different than at home. We waited about 3 hours to get the reports back. We did receive medical records for him also, but of course they are all in Vietnamese. We hope to get them translated before coming home.
Once the approval is received from the Embassy we can apply for an appointment at the Consulate in Hanoi. They only do appointments on Monday – Wednesday. Our lawyer is going to request Monday or Tuesday. If we get an appointment either day, we should be able to come home on Wednesday as scheduled. However, if we don’t get an appointment until Wednesday, we will have to change our flight. UGH! Please pray about that.
We purchased our Airline tickets to Hanoi this evening. We leave on Friday afternoon. We plan to do some sight seeing in Hanoi also. We are especially looking forward to seeing Ha Long Bay.
Tonight I went to Kentucky Fried Chicken and got dinner. Neither of us were feeling great, so we ate very little. The menu is very similar to the US. However Colonel Sanders has squinty eyes.
Hopefully we will all feel better tomorrow.
Oh, by the way. Liam is crawling on all fours now. It is amazing how much he is progressing with a little TLC. He still really prefers Chaunta, but is coming around for me.
