A GREAT Wes Update....

I just received a WONDERFUL email from our director stating Wes's LATEST "weigh in"!! They have weighed him frequently to MAKE sure he was gaining the appropriate amount of weight!! As most of you have read already on here...our son was EXTREMELY malnourished....and I mean EXTREME!! I had friends that stopped by to meet him EARLY ON that left shocked and scared for our son's SURVIVAL!! This played out over and over again as friends met him..all worrying that maybe he should have NEVER left the hospital!! But our agency KNEW WHAT THEY WERE DOING!! They got him into GREAT HANDS...Nannies that had dealt with this sort of thing before and KNEW how to nurse him back to health...and the transformation has been ASTOUNDING!!

This was my sweet son...my Wes, soon after he arrived to the city...weighing in at 8lbs:
He was literally starving to death!! How can this even be possible this day and age!! BUT...I pray this Glorifies God when I tell you that TODAY my son weighed in at 17.2 lbs:These pictures are two weeks old now...so I know he's even bigger now...but HE'S CHANGED SO MUCH!! He can smile...he can sit and pull up...his body no longer shakes from the lack of vitamins ....He's beautiful...and he's 17lbs.....that just blows me away!!! I'm just so thankful for the care CCI has given my boy...and I'm certainly praising God for the miracle of my little man...AND, now i'm ready to take over and feed my baby MYSELF..and WATCH those rolls begin to appear!! It may take a while...but I bet he'll have some chubby little rolls SOME DAY!! :) Praying I'M THE ONE that gets to feed him those bottles VERY SOON!!! :)

**Thank you CCI for the wonderful update...This made my day!!! And, an fyi.... MANY people have asked me what the wait times are right now with our agency...the girl list has a wait of about 4 to 6 months..BUT...the boy list is VERY fast right now!! They are stating about 1 to 2 WEEKS wait for an infant boy referral once you are paper ready...NOW..I can't promise it will STAY that way after I post this...but it was this way in December when I was referred Wes...and NOW it is back down AGAIN!! Just an fyi since I'm emailed CONSTANTLY about WAIT TIMES!!! That's the WORD on the street!! :)

Happy Sunday to you all, kj
