The Medical Exam

Our group was at the medical clinic bright and early for the children's exams this morning. These exams are required by the US government in order for them to obtain visas. Daniel weighed in at 27 pounds! We weren't too happy to find out that he had no immunization records from the orphanage, so he needed 7 vaccines. It was a bummer, but three different doctors asked us questions about his current condition to make sure his heart could handle the stress and they reviewed his records thoroughly which was reassuring. Grandpa held him while we tried our best to console him. After it was through, I doled out some Juice Plus and he was content in no time. Shorty thereafter, he passed out on Daddy's shoulder. The worst part is finally over!

Poor baby. I hope he recovers quickly from the shots.

27 lbs! No wonder Jim is the one carrying him. He looks very tall too.
