So I had the MRI and saw the specialists about my foot. The specialist was not helpful saying he didn't know what was going on and he wasn't the right person to figure it out. He said it would probably just get better by itself. I am not so sure as it hasn't after 7 months! The MRI didn't really show anything. That at least rules out cancer or other tumors (which was being talked of) which is great. So now I am being sent to a foot specialist about 10 hours away but the wait will probably be 3-6 months. So if it isn't better (magically like the specialist thinks it will do)by then it is probably reasonable to do that.
As for my niece, my Mom went and talked to the Ministry of Children and Families, but we are not holding our breathe that they are going to do anything. They are now talking about having a family meeting with everyone. So I guess we will see if that happens and if anything comes from that.

Still Here
I know I have been a very bad blogger. I am just waiting for someone to select me adoption wise. So not much has happened adoption wise. However my life has not been simple.
I am dealing with an interesting foot issue. I woke up in August with a swollen foot having done nothing to it. Since then I have seen two doctors, a podiatrist had an X-ray and an ultrasound. They still don't know what is going on but I am seeing an orthopedic surgeon next week and having an MRI soon. so hopefully soon I know what is going on. It's not painful, just swollen.
The other big issue which is much bigger is my niece. She is 16 months old and a real cutie. However the Ministry of Children and Families has been involved with her and her family and other stuff is happening. I want to keep it mostly confidential but it's not particularly good. There are several situations in which I could end up with my niece and several situations where I wont. This is hard since it is soo hard to watch the situations happen and to wonder if I will remain the aunt who picks her up and has her over often to play or the person who she ends up with. I am not changing my adoption plans but the uncertainty of the situation is hard. Then my sister's partner's mother even told them maybe it would be better if they just signed my niece over to me for a year until they figure things out and get their life in order. So on one hand I jump at this but on the other hand I soo wouldn't want to give her up after a year so it's so hard! (not that I really think they will voluntarily do that) So I guess I keep, keeping on and see how things end up :)
