May 4th Square
September 10th, 2009
We heard fireworks all day long and into much of the night When a new store opens in the mall across from the hospital it has been normal for the grand opening to be accompanied with fireworks, but the booms were continual. Ken asked one of the translators about it and he was told it was the Celebration of the Treasure Dragon according to the Chinese calendar. The Treasure Dragon will bring good luck and money so everyone wants to make sure it knows where they are located by firing off fireworks. Below are some more pictures from yesterday’s trip to Downtown Qingdao. Nathan has his last spinal tomorrow. He has one final injection next Wednesday, but that one is IV only. A patient always begins and ends their treatment with IV injections in case of any complications. You don’t want to hinder going home!!
Look closely for the flags by the lighthouse representing each nation that participated in the Olympics.

Old China versus new China.
In addition to Apple Pies, McDonalds in China serves Pineapple Pies. They are yummy!

I was excited to read about Nathan holding toys. I’m looking forward to seeing him. Nathan is scheduled with me on 9/22 @ 11:00. But since you are getting back the day before do you want to push that appt. to the next week? Let me know so Beth and I can make sure he’s in our schedules.

I am still in shock that you are adapting so well in China! Every day I look forward to checking out your blog. It’s absolutely amazing and your pictures are awesome. I know you and Ken feel like this is a journey that will impact your lives forever as well as Nathan’s. Can’t wait to read more!

Hi Sue,
It is so good to hear from you! We have exciting things to show you. Beth was going to set up his return appt 9/29 for the next week since we would be suffering jet lag. You should be the one to try to see him first. Go fight with Beth. Thanks for the support! See you soon!
