We have made it home. Even though it was one of the most heartbreaking experiences to leave our little Gabriela, we are comforted to know that we will bring her home soon.
The GREAT news is that the US Embassy issued our pre-approval today. Congressman Tom Tancredo helped us to persuade the Embassy in Guatemala to expedite her case. We are so thankful to him and his office for their assistance. So, that means that our case will now go into PGN (the Guatemalan government). Our lawyer took us into PGN on Monday before we left to plead our case. They agreed to expedite our case due to Gabriela's hip dysplasia. We really hope that they are true to their word.
So, if all goes as planned, Gabriela could be home in a month! Please keep us in your prayers that everyone involved does what is the best for Gabriela -- to get to the US and get proper care for her hip. We have been in contact with the orthopedic surgeon in Guatemala and a pediatric orthopedist here in Colorado. They are working together to get Gabriela in a brace as soon as possible while she is waiting to come home. This will minimize the chances that she will need to be placed in a cast at some point.
Hope you all are well! Thanks for checking in on us! We love to hear from you!
