My heart, our life, God's plan. part 24

Somewhere along the way Chad and I learned of some health concerns that should be being addressed with JD. First, our doctor shared that JD did indeed have asthma and should be doing a breathing treatment twice a day rather than as needed, which is what his previous home shared with us. JD also was diagnosed with 2 other syndromes that would require a semi-annual visit to Cook's Children Hospital that had fallen to the waste side.

At the point of learning this we were so very frustrated. Lack of communication, or hidden information, sneaked in again just as it had with Skylar. Even so, our hearts were to adopt these sweet little ones so we continued to move forward.

The appointments were more annoying than anything. The 6 hours of driving, nearly 2 hours of waiting, parking in a spot that I wasn't supposed to that required the hospital security to come help me out, and especially finding out that JD's doctor does a monthly clinic in Abilene.

Despite the annoyances God took care of us. The boys handled the long day well and we got good news that despite what JD had been diagnosed with at birth he was thriving!
