Today has been great! I want to thank the moms that have BTDT who emailed me regarding all the vomiting that Mia has been doing. Last night I was at my wits end when she projectile vomited 3 times (after I posted yesterday), one of which was at Lucy's (serves American food)....we had hoped to eat there again. I am not sure if they will let us back in!?! I decided to switch Mia to Lactofree formula and I also started her on pepcid that I was able to secure from a friend. So far so good! We have been lucky today and she hasn't had any additional episodes. Praying both of these changes will make a big improvement!

We started the day by visiting the Guangzhou folk art museum and doing a little grocery shopping. Our guide Helen is very helpful and has also been concerned about Mia. After we returned from our sightseeing we went to dinner with the Huffmans. After dinner we went to the Mattel playroom for the girls to play. This brought a welcome relief to my sore arms! Mia refuses to ride in the stroller and will scream if we try and put her in it. The first few days were so easy with her and now she has become prettty high maintenance. I must hold her at all times, although she will go to Nathan and Lexi for a few minutes at a time. In the play room she allowed me to put her down. Then she finally spread her wings a little. Every few minutes she would still come back to me for a quick kiss and hug and then would return to playing. It was very nice to be in the play room and meet other adoptive parents.

Unfortunately, our power cord connector broke yesterday and we are having to borrow a lap top from friends. I will still try to post everyday, but may miss a day. We are enjoying our time here, but looking forward to returning home. It has been difficult to be away from Westin so long. Once again, thank you for all your prayers and emails of support. They have been very comforting during our time away from home.

My Mama is so funny!
