Neighbors

We're back from our October holidays. Did you miss us?

Everything went very well during the holidays -- none of our children had any medical emergencies! We're so thankful that our entire management and medical staff had the opportunity to rest and spend uninterrupted time with their families. Our nannies had a quiet week with only a few visitors, so they had an opportunity to rest as well. (Unfortunately, we can't totally close down the foster home!)

Right before we left, we captured this cute picture in one of the hospitals in Beijing. Claire and George are both hospitalized at the same place right now, and they happened to be in neighboring rooms. We took this picture of George, but you can see Claire through the window!

Both Claire and George are doing a lot better. Claire is eating solid foods, and it won't be long until she's released from the hospital. George's condition is quite serious (and quite mysterious). While the doctor's still haven't diagnosed what causes the wounds on his body, the ones he had when he arrived have considerably healed and he is in much better shape. They still need to figure out exactly what causes the recurring wounds, so we're hoping to hear news soon.
