WE ARE OFFICIALLY OUT OF RENAP!!!!!!!!!! I can hardly believe it....after 6 weeks, we are OUT!!! Thank you Lord. Thank you all for your prayers and encouragement. This really feels surreal. Eliana and I could be coming home in 3-4 weeks!!!!! I was in the middle of the grocery store when I found out....and I screamed "thank you" to our facilitator over and over!
Love you all,
Lindsey
P.S. Eliana has another bad case of bronchitis. The doctor has put her on an antibiotic and breathing treatments. I am really praying this helps her!! It is so hard watching her struggle for breath.

Hallelujia Hallelujia!!! I had a feeling it would be this week!!! WOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! YIPPEE! So very happy for you all!!!
Congratulations I'm so happy for you. I hope Eliana feels better soon....I hope the breathing treatments work and don't make her hyper, everytime my granddaughter had to take breathing treatments she was wild. I found your blog on Lou's and have been reading it since Eliana got so sick.
THANK YOU JESUS!!!!!
I am so happy for you guys...looks like Amanda will be making a trip to Nashville soon to meet one sweet little girl!!!!
I love you guys and am sooooo happy for you!!
I will try to talk to you sometime over the weekend.
I am glad that the doctor has gotten Eliana on meds...she will be well soon!!!
Thank you God!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So happy for you guys!!!

WOOOOHOOOOO!!!!!!! I'm so happy for you, and I'm happy that you're enjoying your new "home". I hope Eliana feels better soon, and like Carmen, my DS got super hyper and aggressive when we did his inhalers. I suppose I'd rather deal with hyper and aggressive than not breathing well though, but it was rough at times. Just know that this too will pass and that you have gazillions of people praying for your family! Again, WOOOHOOOO!!!!
I have never commented but I have been following your blog ever since the girls of grace conference. I have been praying for you and your family along the way! I am so excited for you guys. I will be praying for Eliana that she will respond well to the meds.
Hallelujah is right!! Congraulations on that hurdle being over with!! And, I hope Eliana is feeling better soon with her new medicines and that she is feeling 100% for her trip HOME!!!
Lindsey and Chris, CONGRATULATIONS!!! This is such wonderful news! Very soon you and your little girl will finally be home! Just think...you all will be able to go trick or treating at home with Eliana!
Lee Anne
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!! YAHOOO!!!

WOW so amazing. Today I prayed that it would be the day. It seems like such a long process to go through. Your little girl will know how much you loved her by all your wonderful sacrifices that you made. Praise Jesus!!
Praise God from whom all blessings flow!
So thankful for this news!
Praying for Eliana's health and Lindsey's rest!
Praying for Chris as he continues to hold down the fort at home and wait, wait, wait for his girls to arrive!!
Thank you for sharing this with all of us who are keeping your family lifted high.

I'm a long time lurker, fellow Nashvillian, and fellow adoptive mama. I just wanted to say congrats on gtting out of RENAP! Your daughter is just precious, I hope she feels better soon!
You don't know me, but I have been following your blog for quite a while now. I'm not sure how I found you, but I have recently met your friend (and now mine) Cindy (from Arkansas). Anyways, I just wanted to say congratulations to you guys! I am just thrilled to hear this awesome news. I have been praying for you (which seems strange b/c I only know you through the blog) but I am just thrilled at this awesome answer to prayer. Will continue to pray for Eliana, and Can't wait to hear that you are headed home!
WOO HOO!!!! I am one excited Aunt here in Dallas!!! I can't wait to see her again and squeeze her tiny little body!!! Love you sister!
YEAH! Congratulations Lindsey! You must be so relieved. My daughter needed breathing treatments for a while. I noticed a huge difference after the 1st day. I hope Eliana feels better!
WOOOHOOO, CONGRATS. Thank God for answered prayers and sending more that your sweet little one is feeling better soon.
Yay! My gut was telling me that you would get good news and I am so proud for you. Sweet Eliana needs to be home so that she can finally get over all this sickness. My friend at work has a son who has been battling what they thought was bronchitis but actually turned out to be pneumonia. Now that they have the correct diagnosis he is getting better with the proper meds. We will continue to pray for you both. We are so excited for you.
Yea Yea Yea!
You'll be home soon!!
Yippee! Oh Lindsey, I am absolutely thrilled for you. It is the light at the end of the tunnel!! I will be praying for super smooth final steps.
Love,
Meghan and Gigi
we are rejoicing with you!!! praying for sweet Eliana and her lungs.

Lindsey & Chris,
What joyful news!! God's grace is so powerful, yet, so meek. It is so weird that this morning while praying in the shower, I just knew today was going to be the day!
Praise God from whom all blessings flow!!!
Love,
Dad
Lindsey,
I am so happy for ya'll. I can't believe you were waiting on her BC that long. I know you will be home soon! PTL!
Andrea
So happy for you guys! I know how unbearable the wait can be, and I'm not even separated from my husband. All the delays and setbacks seem so huge...but one day they will fade into the backdrop and you will only be able to see your beautiful daughter. Looking forward to hearing the news that you guys are together as a family forever!
Praise God! Praise God!!!!!!
Great news!!
Hooray!!!!
Praise God from Whom all blessings flow... : )
I am so excited for you! Maybe we could make the trip to Nashville to see you home!!!!
Oh PRAISE you Lord Jesus!!! I so know your joy. As you may remember, we waited 8 weeks for our Mixco BC. It was the hardest part of the wait for me. REally happy for both you and Chris. God, you are so bigger than we can possibly imagine. Continued healing hands of our Lord on Eliana's little body. In 4 weeks or less, she will be a US Citizen...oh the emotions. Hugs, Susie
Praise the Lord!! I am soooo happy for you!! Just think you will be HOME for the holidays!! All the Holidays!!
Hannah
BIG HUGE CONGRATULATIONS AND PRAISE GOD for that wonderful news Lindsey and Chris!!! I'm sure Chris you're jumping up and down at the prospect of your precious girls coming home soon!!!
And praying that the antibiotics and treatments for Eliana will help her quickly to feel better!
You've made my day today with that great news!!!:):)
Anna
Yeah!!! Praising the Lord for His provision. May these last few steps be very quick.
Hooray, hooray! I had to check in just hoping that there was good news! You are ALMOST home. I cannot wait.
Reba
PS Our son was sick a lot when we first brought him home. The dr. stopped short of saying "asthma". He is on an inhaler and we give him a small dose of Benadryl each night (advice from dr.). No more trouble. I will be curious to see if the winter brings about more of the breathing issues. Hope Eliana is much better this weekend.
YAHOOOOOOOO!!! PRAISE THE LORD!! I just knew God was going to deliver that HUGE GOOD NEWS to you today!! PRAISE YOU FATHER!!
Have a Super Duper good weekend!
Stacie
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!

Praising God with you! He is so good! Not much longer now.
