Almost there

Almost there.. This pass year was one for ups and downs.  Once again we lose another computer so I have had no way to keep up our blog but my phone. Being a little older my eyes and fingers are a tad slower.   The next month we will be figuring out just what to pack.  And with us traveling in colder weather we will need heavy coats and boots.  Winters are tough so I am going be prepared once we step off the plane on to the landing strip.  Since we are not going directly into a terminal we will be boarding a bus to bring us to our terminal. Once inside we pick up our luggage and through customs to declare our cash on hand. Any thing over 10,000 you have to declare. So larger amounts you divide amounst one another.  Our DAPS appointments are a day or two after arrival.  Then off to visit our first son and then return for our second appointment.  Not sure how long our firat trip will be till we are there.  Once in our child's city we get permission to meet our child from a local official office.   And then it is off to meet our first son.
What's taking you so long?
I've been waiting 4 years.

One day closer to coming home

After arriving in Kiev we went right to bed.  Between moving quickly from one plane to another then a 30 minute ride to our hotel. With the time difference we had to rest once arriving.  Being up over 26 hours we were exhausted. Prior to leaving the US I had to visit my doctor.  Not any good news to share.  Only some complications had arrised.  Staying with Jake a week at the hospital and him checking out the day prior I had to have another check up myself.  Unfortunately my cancer has spread.  Problems now with blood pressure, thyroid disease and diabetes. Being placed on news meds prior to travel is not working out to well. It was awful arriving in Kiev sitting in a wheel chair.  Niko met us and drove us to get Greyson's birth records.  It was a 4 hour drive there n back   We waited 3 hours to have it printed. Greyson's birth Certificate So much left to do. Tomorrow we head to Mauripol.

Additional days to wait

As we prepared to leave this Friday only to find out children's passports not ready.  This means extra funds we have to spend.  And having to stay longer means extra time off for Gary to care for kids. Grayson has many emotional scars from his pass.  Alot of anxiety and anger built up inside him.  Quickly his mood changes.   He has issues slamming and breaking things.  One reasons why I do not post as I wish. Through out his body major scars if abuse.  Many times he jerks and flinches when touched.  He is presently on meds to help control his anger and emotions. Bringing him outside he tends to run off but thank God he turns back around.  A very rough last 2 weeks with him.  Presently we had to repair two glass panels on a door.  He picks up glass and them hides it for protection.  He fears hospital and the day he had his exam it was a major melt down.  Dealing with his anger has not been easy.  Once home we ...
