18 hour notification...
Mr. E picked up Bubba up from daycare @ 10ish - drove the hour to the town of origin
visit with parents...
back to the house at 3ish
i wasn't home to hear the info
sounds like there wasn't much info
plans for reunification?
answer - too soon to tell, still gathering information... bubba has been away from his parents for a month
slow molasses movement of bureaucracy even more obnoxious when it keeps a family separated instead of healing
last night i packed a bag of stuff....
an outfit to wear and an outfit to pack - cute, but nothing i would be heartbroken over if it didn't come back (other blogs have mentioned that), diapers, snacks, lunch, toy (fun truck from friends), and the book that comforts him
i pray the book and truck will come back... and GOD hears...
i send pictures and a card with updates for mom and dad... i pray they will give us info on ears... we get medical info, but nothing about ears
i pray that all will go well...
they have time to play and be together
everything we sent comes back (minus pics and card) just as hoped...
also more clothes... again seasonally inappropriate, too small, dirty, and smelling of smoke... BUT... they brought things for him!
behavior post visit --- not as expected! i had thought he would be acting out, super aggressive, or lots of crying.. so far so good... we painted, played, and i am playing single momma to two boys tonight...
return of some behaviors we had almost seen leave - more hitting, more "wrestling" with uncooperative bee, biting the dog (yes... the dog)... but no to the degree we were fearing...
we'll see how the evening progresses... i have a feeling they will show themselves as things sink in with the little man
***update*** 55 minutes to get him to sleep... ugh
