Day 19….Snow in Qingdao
- Snow in Qingdao this AM
Hello All;
Another day off today and no appointments for London. I woke up this AM about 5:00 Jessie and London still fast asleep so I decided to get a cup of coffee and take a walk downstairs. Much to my surprise it was snowing in Qingdao and it was a nice change. When I came back up to the room and the girls woke up and Jessie was mad it was snowing hahaha.
Our friends from Australia had never been in the snow so it was very exciting for them and they made snowballs. Outside the hospital there was a little army of Chinese hospital employees down stairs with their brooms made of what looks like tree branches and limbs sweeping the snow away. They even had little snow shovels made with wood handles and aluminum (looks like press room plates) It was pretty fun watching them all out there removing what was really a dusting of snow. The people driving cars, motorcycles, scooters and bicycles were all going very slow and cautious.
Other news is London has picked up a bad habit of grinding her teeth and it sounds like nails running down a chalk board we are trying to break her of the new found fun. It brings chills down the arms and back whenever she does it. .
Tomorrow (Monday in China) we have our regular PT in the morning then at 8:15 PM we have stem cell transfer number 4 by Lumbar. This treatment replaces the Christmas day treatment we missed and marks London’s 1/2 way point for treatments. On Thursday we will also have another treatment by IV so things are moving along.
We tried moving our flight to an earlier date to return home but everything is booked up so that won’t happen now. Today’s photo is looking out our hospital room window to the mall across the street. Nothing else to report on this nice relaxing day off, will talk to you all soon.
Missing everyone.. London, Jessie and Ruby
