Day 15 (3/15) Packing for home

Last non-travel day here! We didn’t do much today. Mostly packed and prepared to travel tomorrow. We leave our hotel at 7am and will be either traveling or in airports for the next 31 hrs. ??

We got Suzie’s visa today so we are all set to return home and we are all SO ready! Suzie will use this visa one time, to travel into the USA, and then we'll pack it away and use her American passport going forward.

We’ve had a little more progress with Suzie’s comfort. I left the room today for about 10-15 minutes to make some copies and Suzie didn’t even cry. The kids did a great job distracting her while I was gone. Also, Brian held her today! Just for about a minute while I exchanged some currency at the machine. We thought it was a safe time to try it and it was for maybe 3 minutes max. I was right next to her the whole time to comfort her, but she still screamed the entire time. Not just a cry but a full on scream. She did calm down quickly after I took her back, so we’ll call it a win.

We got a last swim in and it was a win. Suzie let go of mama and floated on her own for a moment. She is incredibly brave.

I’m not sure we’ll be able to post anything tomorrow, so we’ll say farewell here. Thanks for following us along on this trip and we will see many of you soon! It’s been wonderful and helpful reading your encouragements each day and your prayers have been so appreciated! Things have really gone very smoothly with no big hiccups (??). We are forever grateful for your support and have been so humbled and overwhelmed by this whole experience. We have the best friends ever!!!
