Addendum to earlier post: you will need to go back to the Stem Cells China home page to access current patient blogs as I cannot get mine to refresh to include the new ones. Check out the other ONH sites- Carl,Hunter and Rylee. Ryan is another kiddo here with a nice family. Having brain farts right now and not able to recall the host of others here that are so kind. I’ll post them when I can remember.

Today the weather is again cold,foggy and snowy. Makes for a sleepy/lazy day inside. Unfortunately Lydia has been vomitting all day since she tried to eat lunch today. So much for the sleeping part. Hopefully this is just a short time virus that will soon disappear. I don’t like seeing her not feel well and I don’t want anything to keep us from leaving on the 5th. I do look forward to the comforts and privacy of home!
Yesterday, we went for a walk past the Chinese WallyWorld and found a nice park. Has a couple of swings and a small statue of a dog Lydia enjoyed feeling. She needed to “go potty”. The only thing around was a small restaurant, they let us use the bathroom (I guess they felt some pity for the 3 Americans underdressed for the cold weather). I am not sure how to describe the bathroom: a hole in the floor would be the easiest. Yes, the toilet was flush with the floor, no TP,no bars, no flushing mechanism. WOW, took me a minute to figure out how it was going to work. Defintely an experience for us, I think Lydia was a little scared. The “Big Adventure” continues!
Be sure to check out some of the other blogs to the right. Several of them are people that are here and we interact with daily. Please keep them in your prayers as well.
