Hi everyone,
So sorry this latest update has taken awhile. Thanks to everyone who keeps checking. This last week and a half has been the time for a couple more appointments. Last week we went for the chest x-ray requested. Julianna was fine until the woman shut the door to the x ray room and then she started to wail. (After a little reminiscing, my comment in the last post about not having heard Julianna cry was not quite accurate we had heard her in China, especially when trying to use the carrier. However, that was the most vocal she had been since getting home.) Fortunately, they let me go in with her and after she realized they weren't going to hurt her she calmed down and the x-rays were completed. One down. This week was the dreaded lab appointment. They tested for everything known to man and needed about 9 vials from that tiny body. Thank heavens for emla patches. If you haven't heard of them they are amazing. They are a patch which you place on your arm about 1/2 hour to an hour beforehand and it numbs the area to be poked. Then when they stick the needle in it doesn't hurt. Julianna did cry but more because she was scared. What a relief!!! This week we hope get the TB test which Dr. Baxter requested completed. What fun!
Apart from the medical stuff Julianna is doing really well! She is such a happy child and is so easy going and not the least bit demanding. She continues to parrot everything that is being said and understands almost everything you tell her to do. It is quite amazing after such a short period of time.
Here are a few more pics from the trip.
