Medicals Cleared!!!

Friday, Ray and I went in and got our TB skin tests. This is to show if we have TB. You would think we would know if we had this or not. I guess not! I had a BCG done when I was 14, in England, and so there was a risk that I would show up with a positive reaction. This would mean that I would have to get a chest x-ray.

Today, we went in to the office to get our skin tests 'read'. They measure the bump under the skin and go from there. Ray's read negative and mine read doubtful. For a few minutes there it was a bit of a hold my breath situation. I knew it was no big deal, but it would mean a chest x-ray, which was one more thing to do. The nurse looked through all her paperwork (while I prayed) and finally came up with the conclusion that I didn't need the x-ray.

We went over to the doctor's office and had another doctor in the clinic go over the test results. All was fine!! The thing that *could* have been a problem in my file was not even mentioned. My own doctor didn't even see it as anything but *I* had not been so sure. Praising God that it was not something I had to 'explain'. That was one of my 'unbeliefs' *smile*.

So our medicals are free and clear!! YEAH!!

Now I get to package them up and mail them off. As far as the dossier for Ethiopia goes - we only have to wait for the Interpol clearance and Ray's passport now, plus, of course, the homestudy, which will begin in about 2-3 weeks.
