Finally...It's time for School!

Well, we have finally finished getting all of the shots and tests required by ASID to enroll Churchill and Tracy in school. The biggest hurdle was the TB test which may read positive because of the BCG vaccine they receive in Unganda against TB. Today they were given Quantiferon tests at the health department which does not react with BCG, but will still show whether they have been exposed to Tuberculosis. The Austin/Travis County Health Dept. recommends that they are able to enroll as soon as the test is administered if they have no symptoms. So we will go to Lee Elementary and enroll Tracy in the first grade tomorrow! She is so excited...before they left for Florida, she said she would rather go to school than to Disney World :)

I am trying to take one step at a time and not worry about anything unless it becomes a problem. I am a little nervous that McCallum High School will not accept Churchill as a student because by Uganda's standards, he has graduated high school and completed one year of vocational college. However, he just turned 17 last November and had completed 10 years of school when he finished what they call high school. We just need to be able to convince the registrar that we are not comparing apples to apples with our school systems. My good friend, Deanna, will be going along since she has lots of experience registering students from other countries. I am praying that God will go before us as He has in everything else concerning these children.
