Not as well as we thought

We received news that Hui is having some issues relating to her surgery. Her body is "spitting stiches" and a couple of the spots on her chest have becaome infected. Fortunately, CHI has just last week completed another adoption in Lanzhou. Their coordinator on the ground in Lanzhou, Lina, spoke directly with Director Yan and had photos forwarded to us of the sores on her chest. We called Children's Hospital in St. Louis and made an appointment for her with the pediatric cardiology department the day after we return home from China, and e-mailed the photos to them so that they can see what is going on. The cardiology folks have consulted with a thorasic surgeon. We also reminded them that since we will be one day back from China, Olivia will speak NO English. Hopefully they will have a Mandarin speaking person available to tell Hui what is going on. We do not think this is serious but we need to have it checked right away as there may be secondary infection in her heart. Think positive thoughts! We need to get Olivia out of China and into a place where she can be cared for. Children's is a state of the art facility. Dang.... we really never wanted to see the inside of that hospital.
