No More Drs!

We were up early again this morning.....it's becoming the norm; something to accomplish every day in getting Ally back home. Today (yes, Sunday) was Ally's visa photo, medical check-up and yes -- more paperwork! We drove about 30 minutes to where the clinic is and were ushered through many rooms for different checks......length, weight - and then she was seen by the Dr. She didn't like being handed to him, which we're taking as a good sign that she is bonding with us and understands being handed to a stranger. Anyway, she screamed while he listened to her heart. At the end he said he couldn't hear a murmur and he believes the hole in her heart is closed!! We, of course, want our own Dr's opinion back in the States, but everything we've seen so far seems to suggest that her heart is normal. I was glad they did really nothing but cursory checks on her (nothing involved) b/c I saw no universal precautions (e.g., gloves, etc) being used. It wasn't fun having them examine her knowing they had just touched another child before. We all survived, though.
