What's got Mebbie smiling so big? That piece of paper - that's what. For the last almost year and a half Mebrate has had to take some medicine with applesauce every morning in front of a state-sanctioned witness. And she has been a TROOPER about it.
See when she first came home - she was testing positive on a skin test for TB - but her chest x-rays were clean as can be. Well - apparently the state health departments don't mess around with that and we realized quick what we would have to do... give Mebbie some medicine once a day - monitored by the state - for over a year.
But today... today we are DONE! And that piece of paper she's holding is our proof! About a month ago I said something to Mebbie about it almost being done - and bless her little heart - she said:
"I am so happy because that stuff tastes so bad."Here she had been taking it for over a year and had NEVER once complained about it. Such a tough little girl...
Tonight when we announced it was over - her sister who has been a big cheerleader and champion for her by eating plain applesauce with her every morning (way to sacrifice for family there Meron!) proclaimed:
"YAY!! No more health department!"You can say that again Meron - but I know the ladies working there are gonna miss you guys.
Mebbie was so pumped she had to share it with Clay Bear as well!
Mebrate - we are so proud of how you handled this baby girl! You continue to amaze us day by day!

So glad she is done with that. Bet her state sanctioned witness is too! Seems like she has been with you always. This is a reminder that it really has just been a short time. It has been so neat to watch her blossom.
That is so awesome Tymm! Thank you for sharing your girls with us on the blog. You are so gifted at writing and taking pictures. What a great album your girls will have when they are older. I can't wait to see what God has in store for you in 2013. I'm also so excited about your next adoption as well :) I can't wait for ours to be here. We have a little less than 2 years left to wait for our referral now.
