My wife and I decided to have her tested for TB before the medical interview. We wanted to check now in case there

was a possibility she would have to have a sputum culture performed at her medical. The doctor administered the TB test on friday

and asked her to return the following Monday (today; NOW).

Her skin test result was positive. We're now waiting for the doctor to give us more information and/or order chest xrays.

Please remember us in ur prayers...

Thank you all in advance,

Andy & Kim

222-I hope she's okay. Remember that sometimes there are false positives...

Our timeline:

2/88: We met in Sydney, Australia at a youth hostel! He's Finnish, I'm American-both were in our early 20s at the time and fresh out of college (so couldn't afford to visit each other's countries after that!). We had a three-day romance, then went our separate ways. He actually was going to Sydney a week later, but decided at the last minute to cut his trip short in another country and go early. Wow.

1988-1998: Wrote "snail mail" letters/sent Xmas cards, but lived our separate lives. I married someone else, divorced in 2006...he lived with someone for years and then that ended.

10/08: Because of a series of random life events, I Googled my Finn Man and found him (but no link to his email, and the website his name was on was in Estonian so I couldn't even read it!). It took me two weeks to find a link to someone else, who forwarded my email to him (we were both single at the time thankfully!!!!). The email went to his spam folder but he happened to check it that day and responded back to me immediately! This was after 10 years of no contact and almost 21 years of not seeing each other after we first met.

11/08-5/09: We traveled back and forth to visit each other. Love at first (second?) sight!

7/09: Married in Helsinki, Finland...after meeting randomly 21 1/2 years ago and finding each other again!!!!!

8/13/09: I-130 sent!!!!!!!!!

Rest is on my timeline!

Thank you for your best wishes! I think perhaps different countries have different laws. That's the only thing I can think of as to why you were tested before marriage.

Latest update: The doctor took her chest xrays, she's going back tomorrow @4pm philippines time to get the results. Hopefully it's a false positive as previously discussed.

Thank you all so much for your prayers and support!
