Nate’s Ataxia Blog

June 29th, 2009

Hello, we made it fine to Bejing and have been enjoying the hotel this evening.  The first thing we wanted to do was go swimming, that was great!  The hotel package included 2 massages so we also did that and had dinner.  We can add rabbit and shark fin to the list of new things we have tried.  We haven’t decided what will be our first American food, there are so many things we have missed.

Nate is feeling good today, I believe his balance is truly better.  It’s the small things we are noticing, the tremors in his hands have stopped and also he walks faster and with his feet closer together.  It was sad to say goodbye to all the good people we met but it also felt good to have finished.  The end picture is our friends from Alabama, Lana (the mom) is being treated for stargardts disease. Last night Dr. Hung and her husband surprised us and took us out for dinner, it was so good..we had dumplings,  rabbit and pork.  The pork looked like a pyramid, it is filled with some kind of vegetable but it is one long continuous piece of meat (reminded me of bacon) shaped & served with steamed bread.  We were stuffed!  One thing we noticed already is that things in Bejing are 3 times more expensive, I think we spent more today than we did all month.  Tomorrow will be site seeing..Yeah!
