Safe and Sound... Medicals Down

We're here!
It was a pretty uneventful 13 hour flight. We got a little sleep on the flight, but were able to do a fair amount of catching up last night. Today we had our 8 doctor medical visit. We actually only counted 7 doctors... maybe it's a translation thing. All went well, except we were told that our lab work (which we had done at home) was too old. So, once again, we had blood drawn, peed in a cup and are awaiting the results. Still hoping we haven't contracted any unexpected diseases in the last 3 months... or tried any new drugs. We pick up the results tomorrow (Saturday) and leave for Kras on a 9pm flight. We should be able to update again once we're in Kras.
Dasveedahnya!

(Sigh of Relief)No surprising probes or inspections? Good. I've heard that some doctors get a little personal.

Yeah we only had 7 too. We didn't ask . . . . We counted 8 sigs and were happy.

We are thrilled that you arrived safely and are that much closer to bringing the kids home! GREAT news about the medical visit.... we thought a visit to the Health Center at APU was a bad idea... can't imagine 7 Russian doctors. We'll continue checking in so keep us updated.

Been thinking about you guys a ton. The kids are excited to meet their new friends who speak Russian. We explained to Lauren that she could help teach your kids English and she responded, "But I don't speak English." Uhhh? I don't know what to make of that.

I am sorry to hear that you had to pee into a cup and have blood drawn again...Did I mention that I just had my second stent to three weeks pulled out on Monday?!!


Miss you and love you guys.
