Today we took Annaka to the doctor at the hotel because she was not doing very well. She ended up having bronchitis. They put her on 4 different medicines. We are so thankful for Kristine our guide. When I called her she had us to the clinic in 5 minutes.
Annaka is doing okay, she does worse at night. One of my first clues that she either had pneumonia or something else was she would wake up and she would try to cough but it sounded like she is drowning in her flem. I know its pretty gross, but true.
We are all so glad to be going home tomorrow. There is only so much you can do before you start to miss your own bed, house, couch, and especially kids.
After our apt at the doctor we had our famous "red couch" pictures. I have to say by this point I wasn't really up to it, but Annaka was a trooper.
Scott and Michon had to go back today to the consulate to get the babies visas. Yesterday we all went to the consulate to take the oath that all of our information was correct. Basically we raised our right hand and said "yes".
So, our trip has come to an end. I am happy and sad. Happy to go home, but sad to leave Annaka's home country. It is beautiful here. I really don't know when we will come back. With the cost of airfare and the long ride I see it maybe when Annaka is in her teens.
Tomorrow we leave the hotel at 5:30am. Our flight leaves at 8:30am. We fly to Tokyo, that is a 5 hour flight. Then we go from Tokyo to Mpls. We arrive there at 11:00 am your time, that trip is 13 hours. We are dreading the trip but once we get home it will be worth it all.
So, for now we will sign off. I will leave you with the red couch pictures. See you soon!!!

'All good things come to an end'. Glad you will be on your way home so you can get Annaka into the Doc at Mayo. Hope Laney is feeling okay. The pictures look great even if Annaka is not feeling well. Hope you have a safe and quiet trip home...that babies sleep and their parents can get a few winks too.
Anxious to see all of you.
Love Pa-pa and Na-na
