Well our Sneha fell out of her bed Thursday evening about 10pm. We heard a thump and a loud scream over the monitor. We ran upstairs and she was standing in the corner of her room very dazed. She had a bump on her eye brow and an abrasion. Brent said look at her arm, it is all floppy and bending the WRONG way. She is so tough she was trying to roll over and go back to sleep. We quickly threw on our clothes and took her to the ER. Thank goodness it is only about 7 minutes away. A very busy night in a small town ER. They didn't realize it was so bad because she wasn't crying or screaming, poor baby just laying in her dad's arms. I said to the admit person it is very bad even though she isn't crying. Orphanage kids are so tough beyond what they should be. They are so used to carrying their pain alone that they don't even cry. I am so thankful that she no longer has that burden to carry alone. It is so heart breaking to think of all the children around the world that carry life's burdens all alone. Sneha broke her humorous between the elbow and shoulder. It is too high on the arm to have a hard cast, so she has a soft cast . The surgeon thought her bones did not look too bad from her malnutrition.
As far as the left ear surgery, I just got off the phone with Dr. Runyan's office and she will have her pre-op on the 16th of March and surgery on March 24th. If the insurance weren't changing I would wait a month, but he thought it would be OK, but he wants the surgery to be done in Fort Collins, since she has so many things going on right now.
Last week I was working on getting a job and prayed, "God if I am to get a job please make it happen and if I am not supposed please prevent it and make it impossible." When we were considering China adoption Brent prayed " God give me a clear sign that we cannot ignore." Do you know what our sign was???? We were waiting to eat at Perkins with my parents and couple that had adopted FIVE Chinese children walked in. (Thank you LeeAnn!!!) If that is not a clear answer I don't know what is. Later we got to know them through Timberline Church and Welcome Child Adoption Ministry. God has the answers we just have to listen and be willing to act, even if it doesn't make sense to us.
2 Corinthians 1:3-4
Praise be to the Lord and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all of our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God.

Let us know more about the surgery in Ft. Collins. And please let us know honestly if it would be helpful or just too much to have me and Penny come see you on the 19th.
