Would you believe that the day after the wedding I got VERY sick and that on Tuesday Anh got sick and come to find out she somehow got Viral Meningitis! (not bacterial, which is the deadly one) I had to take her to the emergency room two nights ago and they had to do a spinal tap. :(

She is so sick right now. It seems that life just wants to keep kicking us in the balls. Normally the fever would have broken by now, but with Anh it is really being a pest. She's 102 as I write this. :(

Just pray for us, everybody.

I hope everything turns out for the better. Just remember though, better she is here and get treatment than in VN to get the treatment...in VN they probably would try to rub that green ####### on her that smells like ben-gay and tell her to eat a snake heart or something to cure it.

Hoping for everything to turn out OK...about a year ago doctors thought I had viral meningitis and gave me a spinal tap...talk about something that really sucks...spinal taps ...ouch. I can empathize there. Good luck.

GARY va YEN

***USA*** AND VIETNAM

Link to our webpage: Click HERE

A short timeline:

October 2003, Introduced to YEN by her cousin whom I work with. We like each other etc etc etc..and so on

February 3, 2004, I go to Vietnam to meet her. Things go well so on

February 9, 2004, we get engaged and have the big ceremony and then on

February 14, 2004, I get back on the plane and come home. By about the middle of May I have everything ready to send in to USCIS for the I-29 and on

May 18, 2004 the Nebraska service center recieves the petition. And on

August 28, 2004 I recieve approval notice from NSC. On

October 18, 2004, Yen recieves Packet 3, fills it out, turns it in and on

December 13, 2004 Yen recieves Packet 4, she takes care of it, does the medical etc etc and the interview is scheduled for

January 4, 2005. Yen arrives for her interview and FAILS! So I call and find out what went wrong and they require additional evidence including a 5 minute video of me speaking vietnamese, a tax document that was already in the file, and some letters from me about how and when we met, when and where the engagement was, things we have in common and how our relationship progressed. So on

February 25, 2005 I go back to Vietnam to visit my em oi and on

March 2, 2005 she and I go to the consulate to give them the Video etc. They tell us to expect to wait another 2-6 months. I decide on

March 10, 2005 to give the consulate copies of my airplane tickets, visa and ticket stubs for Yen and I's trip to Phu Quoc. Unexpectedly on

March 23, I get an email from the consulate telling me that our case is APPROVED! So on or about

April 25, 2005 Yen arrives in Kansas City, MO, USA!

Now going through the rest of the process here.

LIFE IS GOOD!

Hi Matt,

Hope you are both feeling better...

Good vibes to you both-congrats on the wedding, and I do understand just how tough adjusting is, no matter how much you love each other.

Keep the faith, and all will work out ! :thumbs:

Anh is all better, but I am still sick. It's been absolute hell and it just gets worse (my health). It's making life miserable for us and I feel terrible for Anh because she is so bored she can scream. But I cannot shake this sinus infection. It's wiped me out physically.

Talk about being tested right up front. :(
