Everyday when she gets up she is so happy and excited. She kind of looks at us like, "It wasn't a dream ...I'm still here?" Of course we feel the same...we still can't believe she is actually here. I still wake up thinking, "is today the day we'll get the call" or "what adoption paperwork do I need to do today" and then I hear her and am so thankful that she is finally here.
Many people have asked about her surgery. She will be having surgery on Tuesday in Syracuse to repair her palate. It's a long surgery and because she will need an IV for fluids she will be in the hospital for 4 or 5 days. We are very confident with the her team of doctors and they have said she should recover rather quickly and should be eating solid foods within 2-3 weeks. It's a surgery that could have been done in Russia, but we chose for her to have it here so that we could be with her and talk with the doctors. We'll keep you posted!
Now for some pictures from her third week home!

Good luck, Grace Viktoria with your surgery. You are such a little trooper that you won't be down for long. Also, sending of prayers to your mommy and daddy - it will probably be harder on them than on you! :-) What is up with the palate? What will the doctors do? Feed her lots of milkshakes and smoothies! We'll be thinking of you all and wishing you the best!!
Misha, you are growing so fast and changing with every picture! You are one beautiful little girl. Soon you will be writing your own updates on the blog - won't that be fun!! LOL
With love - Cher
Jill, I know we don't know each other very well, but your words and pictures of Mischa Grace and your beautiful experience still bring tears to my eyes. It must be the mother thing...it gets me every time! Mischa is so lucky to have a wonderful mom, and Dan is lucky to have such an amazing wife. Thank you for bringing us all along on this journey.
