Information Please?

Today we received a report from FFC containing some older details on Szu-Chuan's health. Unfortunately, the fields on the form where his December 2007 height/weight/head circumference statistics ought to be were blank (the last set we have is from November 30th, 2007). Those figures would be good to have in order to track his growth from a medical health standpoint. They'd also be very useful in helping us figure out practical details, such as what size diapers and clothes he might wear at homecoming time.

We are still awaiting the results of some standard medical medical tests our adoption pediatrician requested to be run on Szu-Chuan.

We've also been forewarned that we may not get the answers to the list of questions we sent to St. Lucy's about Szu-Chuan and his birthfamily. Apparently, St. Lucy's has many such questions to answer from other families and may not have an opportunity to address ours. I'm really hoping we can get even just a few answers since they may prove to be very important to our child at some point in his life.

Thankfully, the report did include one sentence that compensates for all the missing information: "[Szu-Chuan] loves to interact with others, loves to smile."

Amidst all the unknowns, those words shine like a star.
