Today and yesterday involved lots of checkups.
Yesterday, Evan got his extensive lab work back and all was well. Aside from a slight iron deficiency, all normal. No parasites, either. There are a few tests to go but things are looking good on that front!
Today was a visit to the adoption specialist, who checked out Evan's physical health, his developmental progress, and his adaptation to his new environment. Evan is very much on track and well ahead of what is typical of children from orphanages. The doctor surmised that Evan could have been a favorite of the nannies, which would explain his being on track (I would not be surprised).
We're both fighting nasty colds, involving a runny nose, sore throat, and annoying cough. Evan also had a fever of 102.2 on Monday night and threw up in bed (then giggled and smiled afterwards). On the bright side, since it's the same cold, I'm able to guess at the symptoms Evan must be feeling even though he cannot tell me directly. The best consequence of the colds is that I cannot smell Evan's dirty diapers.
