Today we have lots of things to be thankful for. I opened my email this morning to find an update email from Jynger. It said that my I-600 has been filed with the consulate and that I should receive an email within a week acknowledging that it has been filed. Then, I opened my email at school to find that, according to the Board minutes, my adoption leave request has been approved. Can my day get any better than that?
Well, yes it can!! As I stated yesterday, my mom was to have surgery to remove a growth on her finger. When they were giving her antibiotics through IV, she had a violent reaction to the antibiotics and had to be taken to the emergency room at the hospital. Today we found out just how serious things were. The anesthesiologist informed my parents that had he not reacted quickly to give her Benadryl and steroids, she would not have made it. So, today I am also thankful that my mom is still with us and that Levi will get to know his "grandma nuts". That is the name the grandchildren have for my mom. Don't worry!! She is okay with it!! She even put it on her license plate.
By the way, she did not have her surgery. She will have to reschedule for sometime next week, I believe.
