We are now trying to adjust to day being night and vice versa ... that's not going so well yet. Shawna doesn't care if it is daytime here; to her, it's night and she sleeps right through whatever we do with her.
The power adapter that we bought from AAA is a joke; we can't plug anything in to it. It plugs into the wall, but where we are supposed to plug in the equipment is only 2 prong and all of our equipment is 3 prong ... go figure! Anyway, we already fried the Nebulizer machine trying to see if multiple adaptations were going to work. The hospital is ready to kick us out for blowing circuit breakers constantly. Tomorrow, Isabella is going to take us to the Circuit City-type store to see if we can get the proper adapters.
Pray that we find one because Shawna's tube feed depends on it.
Gary II and I went to town today and went shopping at Wal-Mart. You think our Wal-Mart stores are crazy! You haven't seen a lot of people until you try going shopping at Beijing's Wal-Mart. We did manage to find some of the things that we needed -- not all. What a trip!
I'm going to run now, Gary II is going out with some of the other families who are here, so he's waiting for me to return to our room to watch Shawna. I will try to post again soon. Hopefully, we will get our laptop up and running tomorrow. I'm in the computer room at the hospital right now, and it's quite busy! Only 2 computers and lots of people.
stay strong and continue praying. things will get better i know they will. i love you and pray for your saftey and recovery every moment of every day. love rochelle
I hope everything works out for your whole family. Shawna is special to me. She is like a step daughter. I know I said alot about changing her diapers but I have a hard time just looking at her. I could not even think about what you are going through. I wish you and Shawna the best luck in the world, but of course you know that because you are on the other side of it. Looking forward to it when Shawna comes home to Hickory Rd. (not where she lives) and says I remember you Mr.Butch because I never forgot the joy in my eyes everytime YOU showed up. You got a great friend who never forgot you.
Glad to hear you all arrived in China safely. Keep us posted & travel safely

Sorry that it has taken me so long to post a comment to you guys! I so glad to hear that your journey to China was safe, although extremely long. You are not missing much here in the states...but I bet you wish you were home?? I wish that all of you were here. I miss Shawna and the rest of you dearly! Shawna is in my prayers as usual, but more now than ever before. Please tell her to be strong, and that I love her and I am back here at home fighting for her as well. Good luck with everything. Keep the updates coming! Love you all and be safe!
