Our friends meeting their daughter...stop by for a visit and a comment!

Meet Maggie over at DudesandDaisies

All is Well...we have been home two weeks today!

We are happy to report Faith is feeling better! She had her follow up appointment yesterday and her chest is clear and her fevers are gone! Now that she is feeling better we are seeing more of her personality. She did have several vials of blood drawn yesterday and was such a trooper. She cried but really it was not that bad and she immediately settled down when I picked her up to comfort her. She has definitely bonded with us.

She has been the source of much laughter in our home with her silly ways. I will call her a funny girl, and she will say " Ma Ma funny girl!" She also loves confined spaces, on the airplane she would squeeze down by our feet and play for a while. Since we have been home, she will find the kids gym bags, empty them and get inside them. She also likes to be carried around in them. We are not sure what this means. We laugh and think of the Seinfeld episode when Kramer rents out his large drawers to Chinese guests and they say it's just like home. Maybe Faith slept in a drawer?

Here she is in Dallin's backpack !

A sick little girl...but still so dang cute! (Gwuy)

It's been a rough few days. Faith had a cough and fever with a sore throat in China when we meet her. We immediately began her on an antibiotic we brought with us from home. Her throat hurt so badly she wouldn't even make a sound. She quickly responded to the medicine we gave her and by her medical appointment in China she just has a small cough but no fever. We were hoping that would be the end of her fevers.
Unfortunately Sunday afternoon she developed a fever of 104 and it continued for three days until we could get her into our pediatrician. We were able to manage it with Motrin and Tylenol, but she was miserable and not sleeping well. The doctor did a few tests and believes her fever is being caused by an infection in her lungs. We have been given a nebulizer and are treating her 3 times a day for 7 days with Albuterol and she had also been given Zithromicine. She is a little trouper and takes the treatments very well. She also loves her bed. She actually slept in it last night. (However I didn't sleep at all because I kept worrying she would fall out of it and I checked in on her every hour.)
