This is actually a week old but both of the kids went to the Dr. last week and Micah has gained a whopping 3 pounds and Misrak 4 pounds since coming to America. She outweighs Biruk by 2 pounds. Currently they still have to see the Dr. once a month and than when they are stable on meds and stuff than they go every 3 months.
Misrak has grown an inch and Micah a half inch.
They took more blood from Micah to re-test his thyroid and growth hormones. This wont be back for another 2 weeks. We should get better results with his growth hormones since he now has been on his thyroid meds for over a month.
Dr. F felt why keep him on the meds if they don't do him any good but he definitely needs to be put on something. Misrak is borderline on having to start taking meds.
Also Micah now has another ear infection in the ear that doesn't have a hole and on more antibiotics but he is being a trooper as you can see in the pics.
Next Wednesday will be their BIG DAY. Both kids will have their oral surgery.
Kids are doing super great.

Good to hear the updates-it's crazy how fast they grow! Micah, especially looks like he's filled out since I saw him in Ethiopia. The pics from the last few posts are awesome.
Thinking of all of you,

They all look so good! Micah is growing! That's great. :)
Let us know what is decided about the HIV meds. I'll be curious to find out.
What great news. They both look wonderful. You are doing a great job getting them on track.
Prayed for you all about next Wednesday just now. Love you and will also keep Micah and the HIV meds in my prayers. Love you!
Wow, they are both really growing! Quickly! Sorry to hear about Micah's meds; hope they find some more effective ones soon.
