We have now been home over a week now & Trit does seem to be adjusting to our family. Poor little guy though. I can't imagine how things must appear to him. We celebrated Easter with each of our families so he has visited so many places & everyone seems to be making a fuss over him. He probably is thinking why do they keep dragging me to all these houses, why is everyone looking at me & snapping pictures & why do they keep handing me a bucket then telling me to go find hard plastic eggs??? He actually did okay though & seemed to love all the other "kid" family members that he met.
Today, he had his 1st doctor's appointment. It went pretty well considering he had 5 shots & multiple vials drawn of blood. We were glad to hear that for the most part he is a healthy little boy. He still will need to see a specialist for his G6PD & hopefully, that will also better educate us about his condition. Just praying that all of his blood test are normal & that all else is well with him.
I fall a little more in love with my precious son each day. This afternoon I was sitting with him & we were just swinging along when he patted me then said "Mama" with a big grin on his face. He has also been giving out "kisses" to me the past few days. He is truly precious & I feel so blessed to have him in our lives. Yes, I have not slept well in weeks & yes, I am constantly chasing after him & yes, there have been some very difficult times - but I really think it has all been worth it! I know we have some difficult days ahead - we still have to wean him off the bottle, more doctor visits & eventually "Mama" will have to go back to work. Right now though I am enjoying getting to know my son & trying my very best to take good care of him & hopefully, we will get through all of those stressful days ahead.

Patrick, I've been following your precious journey and have cried and laughed with your sweet family more than once over the past month. I'm praying for you and your added addition to have a very peaceful transition to his new loving home. What a wonderful story.
I'm so glad that things are getting better!
