My Day with Josue

Yesterday Josue has a doctors appointment at Teleton. The way these appointments work is to leave here at 5:00 to get to Teleton so that we can be wait in line and be one of the first there and receive one of the first appointments because they work on a first come first serve basis.

Matt, Josue, and I loaded up and everything went as planned until I got to the nurses station and they said I had to go to the front window to get Josue's appointment carnet. Matt had left to get us some breakfast. I carried the baby, his bag, his file, and his CT SCAN results, his blanket up to the chairs at the front of Teleton. This part doesn't open till 8:00. And it is another first come first serve line. Fortunately, I was sitting by some really honest people who said I had been there before them and I ended up being number 8 in that line. I was between two very kind ladies that helped with some of my stuff and wanted to know about my ministry and the kids I help take care of.

During my time of waiting for the carnet, Josue slept and woke up very smiley and flirty with everyone. It was the first time I have seen a lot of his little personality.

Josue started crying a few minutes before we went into the dr and did not stop until I stripped him down while we were in the doctor's office and he was so happy to not have clothes on.

After we saw the doctor we had to see a few other people and make a few appointments. Then it was time for Reina's self-esteem class. Josue slept most of the self-esteem class while Matt and Haley played outside.

Right after class, Matt told me that we had to go to the airport to pick some people up. The intern's vehicle broke down coming from the dump and my dad's vehicle was in the shop. Plus 4 people were flying in. We went to eat and wait on them. Haley and Reina played in the playplace while Matt spent the whole time making baby Josue laugh. We finally made it home at 2:45 right before I had to go up and work with the kids.

It was fun to be around little Josue for the day. He has such a cute little smile and he decided yesterday he was going to show it to me a lot.

Please pray for this little guy as he begins some therapy to help his physical development improve. Monday he will be 7 months and he is developmentally on the level of a 2 month old.
