October 13th, 2008

Brooke is very good today, they are still continuing with IV and antibiotics until Sunday. The Doctors said we could leave the hospital, we are so thankful, we went exploring.  Not much to see, we found a KFC and had some french fries, yes junk food, hooray for junk food.  We found a spot outside of the KFC and were sitting there and this family walking by stops and pulls the childs pants down and lets him pee right there in front of us, wipes him pulls his pants up and walks into the mall.  This was right at the entrance to the mall, tons of people coming and going. One of the patients family member saw a  child poop right there in the open while she was going shopping at the market. She said they did pick it up, but I quess it is normal practice in China.  

The nurse just came in and they are giving Brooke another IV of antibiotics. Brooke is so unsure of the nurses here, she thinks they are going to hurt her. If they come anywhere near her IV she starts crying, poor thing has had some many IV’s, and more to come.

Tomorrow we are going with our friends from Massachusetts Barbara, and DeannA to rent a car and go to the Qingdao Zoo, do some shopping and eat dinner, downtown Qingdao, a 45 minute ride from the hospital.  I can’t wait…………freedom from the hospital. 

This sure has been an experience.  It sure is a different world.  I will have alot of pictures to share with everyone.  

Brooke’s next treatment will be spinal on Wednesday……..
