I've been emailing and talking over the phone this week with a representative from Gillette Children's Specialty Healthcare (where both Reuben and Krassimir are seen) making plans for caring for T when she gets home. (We'll need to do the same for B, but her needs are less critical and much more straightforward!)
I've been able to forward medical records, and pictures from our visit with her so she can be sharing them with the doctor who will be coordinating T's care. He was able to make a general road map for the different priorities he'll have once she arrives home, and we've got five appointments on the calendar (most of them with multiple specialties at each visit to minimize our trips) already! There are other appointments we already know she'll need, but don't have on the calendar yet.
They understand that with international adoption we don't really know when the girls will be coming home, so all of the appointments are subject to change, but it's kind of exciting to, with the help of our US agency, be setting a date by which we hope they're home! The first appointment is set for February 24th...only time will tell if that has any intersection with reality. ;)
The woman I was speaking with has had some experience with international mission work, and tangentially with other adoptive families, and has been able to recommend, from the care side of things, some ideas that I hadn't thought of on my own, such as getting a letter from our primary doctor ahead of time saying that we will be transporting "medically necessary" equipment and medications with us when we bring T home, which should hopefully help ease some of our transitions through security check points!
Nothing else of note, except that we've been told that the Article 5 interviews this past Tuesday went well.
