L-o-n-g Day The Countdown: Day 8 (Single digits!)

What a long day it has been. Let's just say I could never do 12 hour shifts like I did today. I have a lot of respect for nurses!

Parent-teacher interviews are going along okay. Let's just say, for the most part, parents are very supportive of what we do in the classroom and were very open to hearing about their child's progress, both the good and the not-so-good. It's always so nice to meet the parents and have them share little tidbits about their child. After all, I spend 6 hours per day with their child, so it's nice for us to get together and talk about what's happening. Five more interviews tomorrow.

Dad had his surgery today. Mom just called. He's in a lot of pain, but that is normal at this point. He'll probably have a couple of days of being quite uncomfortable. The doctor did say that everything went well, so that's good. I'm glad it's over. Can't wait to see him on Saturday. Thanks for all the good vibes everybody!

Natalie and Daniel are on their way to China tomorrow to bring home Mei Lin! Stop on over to their site to follow their journey!

No rumors cirulating yet for us. The countdown is now into single digits. Here's to hoping we know something by then. Realistically, I don't think we'll actually have the referral in our hands until the week of December 4th. But I can wait because I know it's just around the corner!
