More from Guatemala...












More...from Guatemala!!

Good morning! Yesterday was a rough day for us here in GC...Michael slept a lot and cried a lot due to major constipation. He did sleep last night for 10 hours!!! But still no relief for him. He is in a better mood today, which is great for us! He has been smiling and laughing a lot today.

We have found; however, that he is severely behind in his gross motor skills and a little developmentally. He's still so tiny...but has definitely grown a little. He cannot sit up on his own--doesn't even try. He tries to grab things, but doesn't really care if he holds on to them. He won't eat anything other than a bottle. And, he won't hold the bottle. He evidently lies around until someone picks him up. He does NOT like any type of therapy...so he's in for a big surprise when he comes home!!!

Anyway--we are having a good time with Michael, although we miss our Benjamin and our lovies and wish we were all together. It's hard for us to believe that we come home tomorrow.

Please keep praying for Michael and for the rest of our family...we love you!

Julie, Steve, Benjamin, and Michael
