Can you believe we have been with Shiyan for a week. Well today was our first day in Guangzhou. Last night when we got in we could not get adjoining rooms and had the smallest rooms we have ever been in. So this morning they moved us to the river side of the hotel. This room is much nicer and has more room.
We had the White Swan breakfast today. Let me say the Traders in Shenyang is a much nicer hotel with much better food. We are disappointed in the Swan after our last two hotels.
After breakfast we were off to the required medical exam. Everything checked out good. The doctor that listened to her heart heard what he thinks is a hole in her heart but was not overly concerned. We showed him her medical records and he had 3 other doctors come in and listen to her. They all thought the diagnosis on her paperwork was incorrect. We continue to pray that she is fine and that whatever is going on will be easily treatable when we get home. In any case we trust that God brought us to this child and he will help us deal with whatever is ahead.
Today we spent shopping in Guangzhou. I would go broke with all the good deals here. We found some great things and will have the challenge of how to pack all of this stuff.
A flash back to yesterday that is interesting. We ate dinner at Lucy’s and when we sat down I notice that they have license plates on the walls. The first plate I see was from Boyd County Ky. where we used to live and the other side had a plate from Indianapolis Indiana, where we also formally lived. How funny is that, being in Guangzhou is like being in a US city, there are adoptive families everywhere.
Tonight we went to a local Chinese place and no one spoke English, but again we managed to order and it was good. There was one meat that was not identifiable but tasted great. After dinner Shiyan took off exercising her vocal chords again, she has really kicked in the past day or two with mostly babble and occasionally a Ma Ma or Ba Ba and some Ga Ga’s in there. Now Laura is jealous wanting to hear her name.
Tomorrow is mostly a free day while our paperwork is processed.
