Matteo's medical arrives.....

Well this morning I finally got Matteo's medical....there was not a lot of information but enough.......I was told it was pretty normal even before I scoured the internet to understand it. Only after I understood all the bloodwork results did I too accept that all test results are in the normal range. Of course my doctor will have to confirm that too.... Matteo is very small though, his birth weight has been doubled but he is small.....also normal for children in orphanages ????......anyhow there is a small error on the medical that will have to be corrected before I meet with my doctor, hopefully early next week!.... I am still waiting on Matteo's dossier with all his other details etc..so the social worker home visit cannot be arranged just yet.

I felt exhausted, peaceful and also sad. I did get a bit of info. on Matteo's birth mother and found myself thinking about her all day. Don't know any more of her situation but am happy that I may have some information to be able to share with Matteo at some point when he is ready....and glad we will have a concrete link back to his birth family, though again don't know a lot yet or if there will be anything else shared. Anyhow felt sad for her decision and also immensely grateful for it too!! So right now am just feeling relieved that his medical was done (though I want him home now!!) and glad he is doing as well as he can be. My favourite line from his medical is

"Makes good eye contact, follows objects to all directions, responds to sounds, smiles, coo’s."
I really love that he "coos".....
