September has arrived. Day 21
It is a sad day for us. Many of our new friends are departing for home today. They helped us get adjusted to hospital life in China and will be thoroughly missed! We cheered for each other’s accomplishments and have been their to comfort each other when we were homesick. We are the old timers on the hall. It is now our responsibility and privilege to welcome and take care of all the newcomers. It is amazing how fast a room is filled once someone exits. If someone checks out in the morning, the room is generally filled that night or the next morning depending upon flight arrivals. I love all the flags representing each patients nation on their room door so I decided to take pictures to show you our neighbors on our hall. It reminds me of the Olympics and the opening ceremony. The athletes are proudly waving their country’s flag. All the patients here are definitely fighters wanting to win. Ken & I are obviously not the only people in the universe who have been researching stem cells. We have met new friends from all over the world. What an opportunity!
