We got an email about Ruby today. It looks like she is still doing okay, but Bethany's in-country coordinator thought it would be at least another week before he could try to take her out to go get her passport. This means I think we are at least a month away from holding our little girl which is pretty disappointing to me. I am struggling to stay content and patient these last couple of weeks, even though I do appreciate that they are being cautious with her health.
We were also advised not to come early to spend time with her (we had asked if this was a possibility). The medical exam at the embassy is the last thing she has to do before getting her embassy appointment. At this exam it is possible they could tell her she needs more treatment or something like that and then we will be there indefinitely, so it was recommended that we keep waiting to go.
This is so tough, especially because she still needs to get stronger; I long to help her recover. It is also hard to not really have an end in sight. I know eventually it will happen, but who knows how long it could take until she is strong enough to handle all of this?
I would really appreciate your prayers. I am trying to stay positive, but I am struggling with this recent news. I am ready to have my baby in my arms.

Oh, I can't imagine how hard it is to have your baby over there and you aren't able to go to her. I'm sorry. :( I'll keep praying that this time waiting can go by easier for you...

Oh, Kelly, I was hoping that you were going to get a travel date by this weekend. Another month feels like forever, but hopefully it will go fast. Hang in there and try to enjoy a long holiday weekend if you can. :)
