The picture above is one from the shtos we had taken of all of us. Great pictures!
We received a call from the boys' pediatrician this week. Great news!!! All of their blood work and stool tests have come back with positive news! Everything seems to be great, except their polio vaccines. Blood count, liver, thyroid, parasites, previous vaccines, hepititis, HIV, and MANY more... all good to go!!! What that means is that they'll need to retake their polio vaccine, since it doesn't appear that they are immune to polio. They had that vaccine and many others, but it's a live virus and needs special handling (refrigeration)and it may not have been handled properly prior to administering it. They'll also need their measles, mumps and rubella vaccine again too since that one requires even more special handling than polio. That's great and just minor compared to things that could have been wrong. They had a boat load of tests done and it seems like we couldn't have had a more positive outcome. The doctor was very impressed, based on her experience with kids adopted internationally. Keep the good news coming!!! We'll be heading to the pediatrician again in mid-February to finish out their vaccines!
