U.S. Doctor Visit Complete - Check that box done!

One step down, only a few more to go until Jacob & Tim are free to leave Kazakhstan!

Jacob's visit to the U.S. doctor went well. She confirmed Jacob has a little cold but took him off the medications he arrived with from Arkalyk. Tim's relieved he won't have to administer a suppository each night!!!! I think that freaked him out just a little bit! The advice is a dose of Infant Tylenol if he seems feverish or in a little bit of pain. Little Jacob was totally stressed by the doctor's visit and went straight to sleep afterwards. Tim's using the advice of "when the baby sleeps, so should you" and was preparing to nap when we last spoke last night, which was mid-day Kaz time.

They checked Tim into a two-room suite at the Hotel Kazakhstan and he has a view of the beautiful mountain range which is calling his name for a quick look. I think the Wednesday plans are to try out the new stroller and walk as far as they can around and up the mountain paths and perhaps try out the tourist gondola. The weather is perfect, much better than we expected, in the mid to upper 80s by day and 60s by night. This beats the 100+ we'd heard about given the hotel has no air conditioning!

We think the unease with Jacob's paperwork may have been for nothing. Tim did see Jacob's Kaz passport and they were going for passport pics for his U.S. visa. So, hopefully, all is well.

Despite the cold and needing a hair cut, Jacob is doing very well and Tim is too! More on their adventure later!
