It is our last evening here. Bittersweet. We are so looking forward to returning to the comforts of home and seeing our loved ones,but a little sad to leave the wonderful people we have met. So many incredible people from around the world facing their own challenges. I wish each and every one the best and pray they continue to carry this spirit of hope we have found.
Seems the snow we had over the weekend is melting and we will be leaving as scheduled. I still have some packing to do. I went shopping with “the girls” today and got a few things to bring home. Of course I got Lydia some things for being so wonderful and brave. This evening she has been walking up to the nurses and pretending to take their temperature, says they have fever and need an IV. She then proceeds to “put in” an IV and repeat “no pain” as they have said to her for the last month. Something tells me it is time to go………….. She says the only thing she will miss is her new little baby friend she has made-he is a very sweet 3 month old and she loves to hold his hand and caress his head. So cute!
I will update the blog from home periodically and keep everyone informed of the progress Lydia continues to make! Thank you all again for the incredible support which came in many forms, we couldn’t have done this without you!!!!!
Bye Hangzhou!
