We were supposed to go to the park today but Grace is not
feeling well. She has a low grade fever and has slept most of
the day. I called our agency to let them know and they notified
Shirley who is available for us to reach if we need to see a
doctor. She is drinking her bottles and is eating which makes us
feel a little better. She loves to be held and like her sister
loves a massage and cold compress on her head when not feeling
well. She is so loveable, gentle, and even not feeling well
still gives us a big smile.
We have not left the hotel and the menu is very limited. Paul
refuses to eat fried rice again and has sworn he will never eat
another dumpling. Last night his dinner was a pack of goldfish
and some almonds I brought. He is dying for a bowl of pasta!!
Tv is very limited here in Nanchang. We have been watching
Badmitton, Curling , Billards and Sumo Wrestling on ESPN and all
in Chinese. Tonight we hope Grace will feel better and we can
leave the hotel room to eat in the one dining halls. Paul
doesn’t know it yet but the menu is a buffet tonight and I am
sure it will be filled with more fried rice and dumplings.
Samantha has her friend Emma which has been great. She was very
disappointed that the hotel pool is closed due to a renovation
as well as the play area. They have been running back and forth
between our rooms and having a good time.
Emma’s mom Meghan has been great. Her daughter was born with a
cleft palate and she ordered special bottles for her daughter.
When Grace was not drinking from the bottles I brought she
offered to give me one to see if it helped and Grace loved it.
We now have this one bottle which we need to make sure it is
safe and sound since we do not have a replacement. We have been
helping each other out and sharing food, medicines and
entertaining the girls and if I forgot to bring something she
comes thru and vice versa. We will travel together on Friday to
Guangzhou .
We love the Skype that we signed up for. We have been able to
video talk with most of our family and its been great. Anyone
planning to travel to China I highly recommend it.
Tomorrow if Grace feels better we will go to either the park or
a museum all depending on the weather.
I only have a few pictures today – Enjoy!
Love from the Ciringione’s
