This week month has been so, so difficult. We have faced many trials. On Thursday alone, you would not even believe the day we had! Stephen had to have some tests run in the hospital, Ruslan ended up in the ER the I got a call from Felix's school that he was sick vomiting also. I was relieved when we got that call, I thought Ruslan just had a virus. But the CT scan showed he actually had pneumonia and an internal hernia. Everything turned out to be ok for the day. Felix is scheduled to have Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy on February 9th in St. Louis. I (Rachelle) am having back surgery on February 19th.
WHAT COULD ALL OF THIS CHAOS MEAN????
WE ARE ADOPTING AGAIN!!!!
We are heading back to the orphanage that we adopted Ruslan from and adopting one of his friends. We are so excited to reunite them as brothers!
This has actually been a few months in the works, as we have had a group of friends helping us get through the initial stages as the game has changed with some new laws (adding a lot of extra bucks) but we are chugging along! Even in the face of everything that seems to be going wrong at the moment :) No one ever said following God's will was easy but we are sure determined to do our best!
Here is a pic of Ruslan together with Vanya in the summer of 2014, a few weeks before we adopted him:

Vanya! I follow you and also Maya's Hope, and this is such great news! From friends to brothers soon.
