Picked the passports up from NZIS today with work permits in them
bout bloody time eh? So now we can legally go to work and start earning back some of the money we've been spending. Such a weight off of our minds and are we eager to just get on with it.....
Charlie can start school next week but Poppy hasn't been given the green light as yet.
Poppy was born with just one kidney and we told the medical dr that when we did the immi meds. She was monitored closely for the first 2 years of her life and then signed off because everything was fine. NZIS have said that they need to refer her case to the specialists for consideration. I don't envisage a problem as many, many people only have one kidney and never know, they go on to lead perfectly normal and healthy lives. People who have had a kidney transplant or who have donated a kidney for transplant go on to live normal and healthy lives. The specialists in the UK said that hers had grown to twice the normal size before she was born, probably because her body already realised it would have to do the work of two and was compensating. It also repositioned the kidney down in her pelvis, this is where drs place a donor kidney as it is much more protected than the biological site in the lower back. Seems to me her body did everything it could to counteract any difficulties that may arise and anyone who has met her will tell that she is a normal, full of energy 5 yr old. We'll just have to wait and see but she is gutted that her brother is starting school next week and that she can't go
Surely just a matter of time. Breathe in, breathe out.......
