Arriving in Guangzhou and Medical appointment

Last night we flew into Guangzhou, where the American Consulate is located, for the final chapter of our journey.   Today was a  very eventful day to say the least.   Lucy Kate had her medical appointment required of all adoptions........long story short, her medical report did not "match up" as she has had club foot surgery at New Day in addition to her spinal surgery upon her abandonment at one year of age......after requiring her to walk across the room to assess her "gait", asking her to remove her brace and manipulating her foot, sweet Lucy Kate was quite hysterical.  This was difficult, to say the least, as Matt has to stay behind with Emme who had tummy troubles (never eat the fruit with skin....ooops....pooor girl!)  and all 3 kiddos were outside the room listening to their sisters terrified tears.  After 5 different doctors, including the 'supervising" doctor came into the room, we finally had the medical approval required.  Ever been in a room where 5 stern doctors speaking another language assess the value of the child you have come to adore?   The verse that came to my mind, over and over was  "I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well".  Does our sweet Lucy Kate walk perfectly?  No, but she is the bravest, most determined little girl any of us have ever met.  We choose you, Lucy Kate.....and you are WONDERFULLY made my beautiful girl!
