Peoples Hospital Qingdao China
HI Everyone;
Today was a free day so London didn’t have anything to do and we stayed in all day. It was very cold out so we just kicked back. London was really happy and we played all day, watched some “Friends” on video and just relaxed. No needles, therapy or Doctors and I think she enjoys it when she is not getting poked or made to do PT things that make her angry.
We got our new schedule for next week so London will have the Lumbar she was scheduled to have on Christmas day on Monday then she will have another IV transfer on Thursday.
Hope everyone enjoyed Christmas day and had lots of love and good food! Tomorrow we were going to go out to Jimo Market again, but decided to stay in. It would be nice to sleep in a bit but London seems to wake us up early everyday even if she goes to bed a little later.
Will write more later, have a wonderful day and know we are all thinking of you all and miss you bunches.

Special Christmas for some really special people!!
Merry Christmas from Qingdao China everyone;
Today started off with the Dr. visits then PT. The nurses came in in the early afternoon and put London’s iv in for her Lumbar stem cell treatment scheduled for 8:30 PM. London had woke up this morning at 5:30 AM so we decided to take a little nap. After that we had the day off until time for our little Christmas party for all the kids and family’s in the VIP ward having stem cell treatments. Today’s photo is our wonderful friends we are sharing this holiday season with and we have become sort of a big stem cell family. For Christmas dinner we shared pizza and chicken. Not the usual feast we would have had on Christmas day but enjoyed our time together in a foreign land. The kids all had gifts to open from each family. It was special for the kids and we created our own little Christmas and were reminded why we are all here and the blessings we all have in our lives.
London (and others) had to eat 2 hours before stem cell transfer so we scheduled the meal around the patients who had to eat early so they could all enjoy! Then just about time for her to get ready they came in and told us the plane could not make it to our hospital so our treatment scheduled for Christmas day is canceled until Monday. Yugg we were a bit disappointed but what can you do?? So we visited with everyone a couple more hours and now we are in the room relaxing.
WE have the next two days off and Sunday we are planning to get out of the Hospital for a few hours.
Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and we love and miss you all. God Bless each and every one of you. May you have the most blessed Christmas ever.
From Qingdao China Merry Christmas; London, Jessie and Ruby
