gettin' it done

Today (Monday in China) was Hope's medical exam.  Overall, let's just say I'm just so grateful that part is over.  Since Hope is over 2...she had to have a blood draw.  They couldn't find a vein that would work...but searched her sweet tiny body for about 30 minutes and finally decided they would have to use the large vein/artery in her right leg.  Ugh.  My heart broke when Adam gave me the details.  He was not allowed to be with her during this part of the exam. 

He said all the other adoptive folks kept saying he had the patience of Job.  And he did mention that "if my wife was here...she'd already be on the other side of that door".....yep...probably right. 

Again, just so thankful it's over for her.  Now they await the results to make sure she's cleared to enter the US!

After a long nap back at the hotel, they attended a "dinner cruise" on the Pearl River!  Adam always enjoys this part of the trip!  (I've never been...I'm the queen of motion sickness...no thank you)

Here are a few pictures from their day....


Waiting their turn.....well, her turn.



This facility is different than the one we had for the other 3 girls....I love the floor!


Whatever they were doing to her....she didn't like it.  This is NOT the bloodwork portion of the visit!  Probably the "overall" check!

My baby girl is 33 months old...and weighs a whopping 21 pounds!  It IS eeny!



Precious angel....now that the exam is over...let's enjoy the rest of the day...shall we?






Hey!  You're upside down!


River boat for the dinner cruise!



This is the White Swan Hotel!  We stayed at this hotel with Keegan and Romy's adoptions!  It was wonderful!  Adam's guide Jason said it's been closed for 4 years for renovations!  Dang!




On board....


A little blurry...but still cute!



















Thank you all again for the continued prayers! 

They are gettin' it done....each day a step closer to being home!

This momma needs those folks home with ME!
