We’re here!
After a 24 hr traveling experience, we made it here to Qingdao safe and almost sound. The longest 12 hour flight from LAX to Seoul, Korea actually went faster than we were expecting, so thank you for everyone’s prayers. As daunting as traveling with two kids under 3 sounds, we just focused on enjoying each step of the way.
We made it to the hospital at 10:00am local time and spent some time unpacking and getting settled. We have gone on a couple of walks now and all of the local are amazed at the tall family with blonde haied, blue eyed children. Our kids are pointed at and photographed everywhere we go, they are celebrities. Overall, we feel like we have all adjusted well and are almost on a normal schedule.
We have talked to the doctors, Hallie has gotten some blood work done, and we got our initial schedule for her stem cell treatments. There are two floors of the hospital that are for stem cell patients with a common area where everybody hangs out in. We’ve met a few families and have heard their stories of hope, and can’t wait for Hallie to get started with the treatment. Her first SCT is scheduled for Monday.
Lots of love,
Adam and Katie
