ne hou = hello
Hello to everyone
Luke and I have made it to China safely after a very long plane trip and are beginning to get settled in. Qingdao is a crazy place!!! All the staff, translators and other patients on this floor are very nice. There are 15 families here now for stem cell therapy from all over the world; Ireland, South Africa, Australia, Canada and a majority from US. Luke starts his therapy and acupuncture Monday and I get a schedule of when his 1st stem cell treatment will be. All the Chinese nurses call Luke, Lukeee and one calls his funny boy because his 1st instinct is to smile at them.
We went to the Chinese market. It is the busiest place I have ever been it is the size of 2 Walmarts stacked on top of each other and filled with enough people to make a small city. They have food there that would make some people throw up just to smell it. Tanks full of live fish, turtles in bowls and the insides of animals that I didn’t even know people could eat without getting very ill. I have been on two taxi rides and the only time they stop is to let us out, lots of honking and getting as close to other vehicles as they can. There are no carseats, I just hold on to Luke tight. I saw a man, woman and child, about Codys age riding on a motorcycle, it looked like fun I am going to see if Cheryl and Cody want to try it when i get home, I’m sure Cody will.
Thanks to everyone that has made this trip possible for Lukeee, we cannot express to everyone how much we love and appreciate our family and friends.
Clint
