2nd meeting

Today went well too! We went and ordered something for Ike and then went to see him again. His FM was very anxious and to be honest and really wanted to leave the entire time. I think she may have been having a panic attack, which made both of us almost have one. I know this is hard for her; and I think when we were left alone with him she was secretly hoping he would scream. Instead he loved it and kept playing and laughing and giving us kisses. She was looking into the room then closing the door. This happened for about half an hour. I know she is very sad. I am sad for her. It is apparent that her and her family care deeply for Big Ike. But this is the way it is and has to be. It is heart breaking. We got her a frame of the four of us that we will give her on Thursday, which I'm sure will not really help, but maybe help her to understand how much we love him.

This might be a trying time for all of us. Big Ike has no choice in this. We have chosen him. Foster mom is trying to help with with transitions, and seems to have done a good job. Please think of all of us in the next few days. Luke and I are very excited but still nervous about the hugh change, and I am sure everyone else feels nervous as well.

We cannot wait to be home, even through we love it here very much. I miss my dogs and cannot wait till they meet Big Ike.

Tomorrow is DMZ day! (P.S. every time Luke walks by this chair he stubs his toe. Plus we had the coolest taxis cab driver who kept grabbing Luke's hat, rubbing his head and then shooting "Obama" and pumping his fists.)
