Meltdowns did occur on our way back up to the room. Let's just say she strutted back down the hospital hallways with her lips poked out full force but she did look cute doing it. It's hard to get people to quit telling her how cute, darling, pretty, adorable, precious, I love your hairband, I love your slippers...when she just wants to be left alone today. </div><div></div><div align="justify">Today, our party room and time at the Ritz Carlton turned into a sentence that felt like a local jail. Disclaimer: I would assume. Never been there to know that for sure. It all started as a great morning. She woke up and pointed to her one-a-day gifts on the table and then we proceeded to get ourselves fixed up for a fun day at the playroom. Upon our return from the playroom, things went straight downhill. Chaning could smell food. Yes, food that I was hiding behind her bed that would constitute my lunch. Keep in mind, I am here by myself. That means you do not leave the room unless it is about a 50 yard distance and quickly return. Thank goodness the ice machine falls into the area. She quickly told me that she was hungry and started melting down. I'm sure that not understanding the concept of days, it is hard for her to keep believing me when I say that she can eat in so in so days. </div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify">Regular vital sign checks turned into hands being thrown up in the air and her whaling to the top of her lungs. This is the kid who has not had pain meds since day 2, NOTHING. She wanted the nurses to go away today and I just needed to respond to her every beck and call. We decided to take our walk downstairs which as you will read under the picture captions, that didn't help much at all. We came back and had the massage therapist do her magic. Things were great after that for about five minutes. She paged the music therapist. Things were wonderful after that so we decided to venture down for some more crafts. She did great and then when it was time to leave, she let everyone know she was not pleased that she had to go back to her room. They were handing her stickers, princess pencils, etc. She tucked her tail, poked her lips out and kindly returned to her room. </div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify">The nurses were informed that we were not attending game night and that it might get a little loud in our room. Chaning and I did more crafts on her bed and then when she became demanding again, her things were put up and she had to have a good cry. I just waved and smiled through the glass window to those that wanted to pass by and see where that loud sound was coming through. I'm sure they were wanting to see if I was sitting on her or something. She finally gave in and went to sleep around 5 p.m. Please take note that she has not had a nap in four days and has gone hard and strong everyday.</div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify">Aaaahhhh, this is a good time to order my dinner. Surely she will sleep for the 45 mins that it takes for them to deliver it and then another 10 for me to eat it. She was sleeping so good, the man delivers the food near the door, I proceed to sneak out from under her arm and she wakes up. You have got to be kidding me. I waited to see if sleep would come upon her again, NO. I finally decided the shower in the bathroom was a good place to sit in and eat my dinner. I lied a little!!! Yes, I did. I told her I was going to take a shower and sat in the shower and ate my dinner. Okay, this is where it gets really good. I finished my food, put my tray up and then told her I had to "finish" my shower (aka take a shower for real then). I go in and take a shower. The nozzle gets stuck on warm water. No, I mean literally stuck. I finished my shower, went out to the nurses station with my wet hair and told them that my shower was still running and that it could run all night for all I cared. I was going to dry my hair. They got a good giggle out of that. Yes, maintenance eventually showed up, walked in, turned the nozzle off (probably with one hand) and then said it's okay it was just stuck a little. I did everything but jump up and down on it with my feet (only because I couldn't reach that high). I nicely told him he needed to walk out of my room, throw some sweat on his face and tell the nurses he had to break out some pliers to fix that sucker.</div><div align="justify">On a brighter note, Chaning woke up happy from her nap, has only said she's hungry once and the best one of all is that tomorrow is day 6!!! That's a big WOO HOO coming from Rm 44 up in here. Please pray that tomorrow does not bring a full day of hunger and that the doctors find that she is doing well enough to eat Thursday morning and does not need to go back into surgery.</div><div align="justify"><br /><br /></div><div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">http://tickers.TickerFactory.com/ezt/d/4;10704;56/st/20061127/e/Julia%27s+Birthday/dt/-1/k/8111/event.png</div>The Thomas Crewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01835590554432462199noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29364091.post-88364657148381216002010-11-22T16:21:00.000-08:002010-11-22T16:48:14.612-08:00<div align="center"><span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:180%;color:#993399;"><strong><em>Day Three and Four Post-Op</em></strong></span></div><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1TSqhTpjZ6Ql3KV6snCau-QvsNlmKgZgVCOAAsMnaA9umD7rkkLgcvxvQlPQ7fq9SYgRRpgOtWJt2htofX867jsiWQ7vA_8TfhTFnPMboxOL2zfP0Fv6xZd4t_ixe2a7JvFfvIA/s1600/day+3+%2526+4+post-op+044.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542536066448701266" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1TSqhTpjZ6Ql3KV6snCau-QvsNlmKgZgVCOAAsMnaA9umD7rkkLgcvxvQlPQ7fq9SYgRRpgOtWJt2htofX867jsiWQ7vA_8TfhTFnPMboxOL2zfP0Fv6xZd4t_ixe2a7JvFfvIA/s400/day+3+%2526+4+post-op+044.JPG" /></a> Chaning's art and get well cards are taking over her wall.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrNbL8AZM8xJeCNS0r21uQg66XsNKofaJt1ksCsrefThH_XTWm8eHb5f3koxWk97giPeWoOWrzXtkjDs3_2srmTDzd5gnzBi4OIwIJ-GnKTYDFYiAnWubrpoX7ThszOF43-2KFWg/s1600/day+3+%2526+4+post-op+040.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542535997823999874" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrNbL8AZM8xJeCNS0r21uQg66XsNKofaJt1ksCsrefThH_XTWm8eHb5f3koxWk97giPeWoOWrzXtkjDs3_2srmTDzd5gnzBi4OIwIJ-GnKTYDFYiAnWubrpoX7ThszOF43-2KFWg/s400/day+3+%2526+4+post-op+040.JPG" /></a> This chick scored big at Bingo tonight.

I think it is only on Monday nights so she might be a little sad when I tell her there is no bingo tomorrow night. The doc came by and said he will check out her incision site Wednesday and if it looks good, she can eat Thursday and we go home Friday. If it does not look good, she will go back in for a brief surgery and then we will be here until Sunday or Monday. There is no reason at this point that she will not look good.

One meltdown in four days....I would have already have four a day and more than likely jumped ship.<br /><br /><br /><div align="justify">This girl is on the run and I mean that literally. I have to run with her food/med IV pole just so she won't get too far ahead and rip her PIC line out. She woke up crying for food and I thought today was going to be really, really rough. The ONLY person she wanted to talk to was Fossiter (aka Foster). Of course, Foster was in the pool training and wouldn't be out for two more hours. Just the promise of him calling her made her smile and forget her hunger. The "food" through her IV they are giving her seems to have started doing its job this afternoon because she has not mentioned food again. They said it would take until today for this to happen or we would be changing her "food" out for a different brand. Thank the Lord it kicked in because it is hard to watch your baby cry. </div><br /><br /><div>We quickly decided to take off to the playroom around 9:30 this morning and she stayed until they closed it down at 11:30. She then decided we needed to take a trip down to the gift shop which seems like ten miles away with her and an IV pole in tow but she did wonderful. She wanted to purchase her sister and brother some silly bands. I think she looked at every single item they had. It was a fieldtrip indeed with the usual bathroom stops included. We returned to our room "briefly" to find a balloon and package from cousin Megan. Chaning loved her jewelry box and lip gloss. She quickly filled that box up and started applying her gloss immediately. Some of the nurses have accused her of being a little/lot spoiled. I would say the later is about true. She decided we needed to return to the playroom around 3:30 and we shut the place down AGAIN. She did not want to leave and I can bet that's where we will be hanging out again tomorrow. We ended our day with another ten mile walk to get momma a Starbucks decaf coffee. The local coffee room doesn't seem to be decaf friendly.<br /></div><div>Needless to say, we are off our pain meds completely and only get them upon request. She slept really well last night and hope we repeat the same tonight. I lost my permanent spot in the bed to a monkey. I was so relieved but a tiny bit jilted. </div></div></div></div><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">http://tickers.TickerFactory.com/ezt/d/4;10704;56/st/20061127/e/Julia%27s+Birthday/dt/-1/k/8111/event.png</div>The Thomas Crewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01835590554432462199noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29364091.post-88343768813018022010-11-19T12:04:00.000-08:002010-11-19T12:30:03.100-08:00<div align="center"><span style="font-size:180%;">Countdown Begins - Day One - Post-Op</span></div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4xDnF0CGEtHMVcwHxdvp7QKiSRdt6hwi9qWw-9kHpn1Lu6zazvXnSvXoKHAthXPQQ3mqsyF6MEeGaVFniWBZ3IWL1SUys4zL59Py1jDAX7C_GEjK8ac1_xGZybljVre638KlhjQ/s1600/day+1+post+028.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5541355765263731634" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4xDnF0CGEtHMVcwHxdvp7QKiSRdt6hwi9qWw-9kHpn1Lu6zazvXnSvXoKHAthXPQQ3mqsyF6MEeGaVFniWBZ3IWL1SUys4zL59Py1jDAX7C_GEjK8ac1_xGZybljVre638KlhjQ/s400/day+1+post+028.JPG" /></a>Check out my Diva nails.

She has had a couple of good naps today, which have well been needed. We ventured out a couple of times but haven't gone terribly far. Hopefully, tomorrow we can go to the first floor and walk around a little more. She has complained a couple of times about being hungry so we are monitoring her until tomorrow to see if they need to change the IV to something a little more full feeling.</div><div align="justify">She has really enjoyed her DVD player today and thankfully I brought a pair of ear phones for her to plug in. Today counts as Day 1 behind us. Bring on Day 2. We miss our Daddy today. He headed back to AL to be with the other littles.

Ribs, corn on the cob and an ice cream sundae was consumed by this little one.<br /><br /></div><div align="justify">We all made it safely to Ohio but it was not without hiccups. The rain that we experienced on Monday in AL plus 30 mile an hour winds and a 20 degree difference in temperature followed us all the way up to Ohio. Tim did a great job of driving us but not stopping for lunch or getting out to stretch much at all really took a toll on this chick.<br /></div><div align="justify">We all had to wake up around 5:45 a.m. EST, we lost an hour (4:45 our time), to get to the hospital. We were immediately escorted to our private room and then the fun began. We were really worried about the PIC line capability due to Chaning's lack of big veins but God answered our prayers and they were able to get it in on the first try, successfully. We then returned to her room so they could insert the tubing down her nose into her stomach. We are still reaping the effect from that procedure. She is doing good and resting well. We are first up for surgery in the morning and that should be begin around 7:45 a.m. EST. Our prayers are that our little girl have an uneventful but successful surgery and that this is her last surgery. Chaning will not be able to have ANYTHING by mouth for the next 7 to 10 days. This is going to be hard on both her and myself. She is already wanting to go home. I will update our website and facebook as I can tomorrow. We have a huge, palacious loveseat-sized pull out chair calling our name to sleep in tonight. It could always be worse.

I think he was striking a pose to humor me.<br /></div><div align="justify"><span style="color:#330033;">We celebrated Matthew's 16th birthday the Wednesday before we left for Ohio. This meant he was left here in AL driving while we were 9 hours away. I think all in all he has done pretty good so far. This still does not keep me from worrying everytime he leaves the driveway.</span></div><div align="justify"><span style="color:#330033;"></span> </div><div align="justify"><span style="color:#330033;">We arrived in Ohio last Monday and got settled in for the night. Chaning had testing Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Each morning we started our day at 5:30 a.m. heading to the hospital. Of course, the first morning our TomTom decided to take us on the downtown route to Children's Hospital. After stopping and asking someone to pull up their mapquest on their iphone in the dark, going down a one-way street backwards and pulling into the swipe your card or you don't enter employee entrace only parking at the hospital, we finally found where we were to go. Keep in mind that the hospital was only 5 miles from the hotel. We decided that we would not do well on the Amazing Race show and will not be sending in our video tape any time soon.</span></div><div align="justify"><span style="color:#330033;"></span> </div><div align="justify"><span style="color:#330033;">Chaning did great each day and was a trooper. I also have to mention that we have used a Children's Hospital before and Cincinnati Children's by far blows away anything we have ever experienced. This is a top notch facility with excellent doctors, nurses and staff. I do not think we waited once for an appointment. They do not allow your child to get aggitated or scared without sending someone to you to entertain them and lift their spirits and mine too! They take that apprehensive feeling away from you and your child.</span></div><div align="justify"><span style="color:#330033;"></span> </div><div align="justify"><span style="color:#330033;">We met with Chaning's collorectal surgeon and gynecologist Thursday and Friday and received wonderful news that Chaning passed all her testing with flying colors. She will require surgery in the very near future. We will be going to Ohio for two weeks where she will stay in the hospital after receiving her two hour surgery and then receive food via IV fluids for 10 days. This is going to be a tough trip but one that will fix her forever. We are so thankful to be able to give her the care that she needs and look forward to a future for her surgery free, hopefully. We are told that from her history, they feel that this will be her sixth surgery - first here in the USA. Had her foster family not took such great care of her, she would probably have never made it here for this final surgery, for this we are forever greatful to them.</span></div><div align="justify"><span style="color:#330033;"></span> </div><div align="justify"><span style="color:#330033;">Our schedule gets more packed as the holidays near but we are having a lot of fun around here with this family of 7. Each day carries its own memories being made. Somedays my hair just grays right before my eyes. Tomorrow is the pumpkin patch with two out of the five. I love autumn.</span></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">http://tickers.TickerFactory.com/ezt/d/4;10704;56/st/20061127/e/Julia%27s+Birthday/dt/-1/k/8111/event.png</div>The Thomas Crewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01835590554432462199noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29364091.post-54967137887458974662010-10-04T11:28:00.000-07:002010-10-05T10:37:44.278-07:00<div align="center"><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:180%;color:#006600;"><strong><em>I'm Getting Ooooolllllddddd!</em></strong></span></div><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXYhVrLOiqMzWqmlEkP19sdIFlRHmsYgOLIrFgYYx3R3IY86ZX12rHHYoVETgk3ebMnx0EgsJHfmGiGnSTFp6A515YmzXYJwaY7qIMKtSDezazNvUeJj0AfsaWzb4HYX4mPPSJFQ/s1600/beta+bday+fall+094.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5524370116176694674" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXYhVrLOiqMzWqmlEkP19sdIFlRHmsYgOLIrFgYYx3R3IY86ZX12rHHYoVETgk3ebMnx0EgsJHfmGiGnSTFp6A515YmzXYJwaY7qIMKtSDezazNvUeJj0AfsaWzb4HYX4mPPSJFQ/s400/beta+bday+fall+094.JPG" /></a> Tomorrow my first born will be 16 years old.

Next week we will travel to Ohio for Chaning's assessment. She is doing really well and is now attending school and all church classes on her own. She just blends right in and always seems happy. Sometimes, I catch myself just staring and her and Julia and smiling. Not only does their beauty still stun me but just knowing that God has entrusted Tim and I with these little blessings just warms my heart. The love that my bio kids have for them is no different than if I had carried them for nine months myself. I just pray that characteristic is something they will pass on during their lifetime to others, being kind to others and making them feel included. </div><div align="justify"><br /></div><div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">http://tickers.TickerFactory.com/ezt/d/4;10704;56/st/20061127/e/Julia%27s+Birthday/dt/-1/k/8111/event.png</div>The Thomas Crewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01835590554432462199noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29364091.post-60666943258630715112010-09-13T11:14:00.000-07:002010-09-19T19:30:23.955-07:00<div align="center"><strong><em><span style="font-size:180%;color:#666600;">Whatz up in our World??</span></em></strong></div><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeECVyC7HjxPdNCOhfxpnLgIWdBVpduD2mTFwCpErgu0s2xf1IGMS42fPqDWUP3XXjCiDirpclCIw5aw4KERP-vgdswIilZOP52FxOW6ULVV8GimyLy8VtUvW5jX9PnBboGe-cgg/s1600/playtime+257.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5518806500727076562" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeECVyC7HjxPdNCOhfxpnLgIWdBVpduD2mTFwCpErgu0s2xf1IGMS42fPqDWUP3XXjCiDirpclCIw5aw4KERP-vgdswIilZOP52FxOW6ULVV8GimyLy8VtUvW5jX9PnBboGe-cgg/s400/playtime+257.JPG" /></a> Studying my subject from afar.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRUcSy2Jv4YlFnXpPjrdqdserXXl4Ny1DeL_esvS_pl0VGMq4MOy_OZSF1b_AFzMr9I4iBFh8VM1RsZpnyPSd3RgUsdOwTPD5FIsG2QhWCAzv8ZI6ad7BwXzWFjqbioSpxtXzNxA/s1600/playtime+263.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5518805758885534146" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRUcSy2Jv4YlFnXpPjrdqdserXXl4Ny1DeL_esvS_pl0VGMq4MOy_OZSF1b_AFzMr9I4iBFh8VM1RsZpnyPSd3RgUsdOwTPD5FIsG2QhWCAzv8ZI6ad7BwXzWFjqbioSpxtXzNxA/s400/playtime+263.JPG" /></a> This couldn't be that hard to build for myself.<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhne9jKpAVyoT5fQXTNYnHor97rFu_k4fXkMBu1xJK7Ng-NXi082vXAPcfHipL6jPhCJcAJYj_X7VWS4a0YNsyofpllqq3Z5_esJIlRbn6AmJEaLpd1ob3shpT4Y_gWtgpPAJ2-JQ/s1600/playtime+264.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5518804864937466402" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhne9jKpAVyoT5fQXTNYnHor97rFu_k4fXkMBu1xJK7Ng-NXi082vXAPcfHipL6jPhCJcAJYj_X7VWS4a0YNsyofpllqq3Z5_esJIlRbn6AmJEaLpd1ob3shpT4Y_gWtgpPAJ2-JQ/s400/playtime+264.JPG" /></a>Look here, Matthew.

She is now slowly graduating to co-driver of Julia's John Deere Gator. Julia is so patient showing her the in's and out's of handling her green machine.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />I know it's been a while since I have updated. My days (sometimes) are starting really early. I try to get up around 5 a.m. and run. It is wonderful to get my day started with a little me time and then to be prepared to awake the crew to get our day started for school. Chaning is now going to school by herself for the past two weeks and is doing absolutely wonderful. She is now starting to use one-word phrases and express herself less with grunts and sighs. I think she has really got her teachers wrapped around her fingers. Her interaction with her classmates is great. I think they are still fascinated by her and are eager to help her learn. Her basic doctors appointments have slowed down. We were told her appt with a surgeon in Ohio would be November or December but received word last week that he had a cancellation in October. She and I will be traveling there for a week of testing and then ending with a consultation of what the future entails.</div><div align="justify">Everyone here is still adjusting to the new school year and the addition of a sister but things will return to a welcomed comfort level here soon. We are looking forward to fall, weather cooling off and the holiday season that will fast be on us. I hope to be able to update more often but unfortunately it takes time to do this and that is one thing that seems to slip away from me at times. Tomorrow is a new day and one that I plan to embrace with a smile, a deep breath and lots of thankfulness for my family. </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">http://tickers.TickerFactory.com/ezt/d/4;10704;56/st/20061127/e/Julia%27s+Birthday/dt/-1/k/8111/event.png</div>The Thomas Crewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01835590554432462199noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29364091.post-6552573980269484162010-08-30T11:23:00.000-07:002010-08-31T19:46:17.707-07:00<div align="center"><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:180%;color:#cc0000;"><strong><em>Instant Replay</em></strong></span></div><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXS6Zsxwx5LBzKrrXjoSvJGDgOPPRcFNvJt62u8Agkmz-DaF0XyvG_4t1-DbL6AGOGoN0wJs16q5ebfEPRq81KSh38KdAZhLj500G7EWAk83rXB3lIB7GDCU4sMVaVHJqqRJzmVw/s1600/new+pics+067.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5511761527827560722" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXS6Zsxwx5LBzKrrXjoSvJGDgOPPRcFNvJt62u8Agkmz-DaF0XyvG_4t1-DbL6AGOGoN0wJs16q5ebfEPRq81KSh38KdAZhLj500G7EWAk83rXB3lIB7GDCU4sMVaVHJqqRJzmVw/s400/new+pics+067.JPG" /></a> Chaning's first football game.

Chaning arrived with a sticker on one arm and a play tattoo on another.</div><div> </div><div align="justify">This has been a huge week for us. A little bit of normalcy has returned to the frontier and it was very welcomed. Chaning attended school yesterday for half a day by herself without mommy. She cried for about 15 minutes and then spent the rest of the time having fun. Today, she figured out that mommy was going to leave her again and cried the entire way to school. I don't really think I should call it a cry but more like a fake whine. She shed big tears once we arrived at school so I left thinking I would be called back within 20 mins to get her.... I waited and I waited, I taught my aerobics class and once finished was told the test message read... "She didn't even cry for five minutes and is doing great". Two hours later, I received a text picture of her on the playground having the best time with the other kids. Two hours after that, I got the phone call that she was asking when I would return but cooperated at nap and was doing good. I walked in at 2 o'clock (okay, I ran in. I couldn't wait to see her). I didn't let her know I was there and observed her for a few minutes. She was right in the middle of playing with the other kids and it was so heart warming.</div><div align="justify">Let me just stop and say that this is NOT normal protocal for a child to start school a month after they have arrived home and each child is different. Due to the fact that Chaning was used to Kindergarten in China each day, that she was so well prepared by her foster parents for this transition and me sitting at school with her for three weeks... her therapist thought we could try to go ahead and leave her for a short period of time but needed to be prepared to go backwards. This child never ceases to amaze me. Yes, I have two teachers that watch her like a hawk for sadness, irritability and for times that she might just get nervous because of the language barrier and they adjust her situation to suite those times, if needed. I thank God that he is helping to heal my daughter's heart, calm her fears and help her to build her trust that we will not put her in harms way and that we will return. Each day, I leave a bracelet off my arm and tell her to keep it for me until I come back to get her. It's sad to think that she feels I will come back for a bracelet but not just for her. That too will disappear with time.</div><div align="justify"> </div><div align="justify">Next week, we should find out when exactly Chaning and I will travel to Ohio Children's Hospital. We were told today that we will have to be there for four to five days with testing being performed each day and the last day a plan of action given to us, if any. I know this will set Chaning back a little with her trust and stability at school and at home being gone but we cannot wait to see where we are medically and move forward. </div><div align="justify"> </div><div align="justify">Tomorrow is a new day! Four different school drop-offs and pickups. I love my kids.</div><div align="justify"> </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">http://tickers.TickerFactory.com/ezt/d/4;10704;56/st/20061127/e/Julia%27s+Birthday/dt/-1/k/8111/event.png</div>The Thomas Crewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01835590554432462199noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29364091.post-17990153000635297092010-08-16T13:22:00.001-07:002010-08-16T13:22:53.243-07:00My Montage 8/15/10 at OneTrueMedia.comChaning's Story<br /><br /><div><embed src="http://www.onetruemedia.com/share_view_player?p=ba7ea477db6ad611a21bb6" quality="high" scale="noscale" width="408" height="382" wmode="transparent" name="FLVPlayer" salign="LT" flashvars="&p=ba7ea477db6ad611a21bb6&skin_id=1704&host=http://www.onetruemedia.com" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></embed><div style="margin:0px;font:12px/13px verdana,arial,sans-serif;line-height:20px;padding-bottom:15px;width:408px;text-align:center;"><a href="http://www.onetruemedia.com/landing?&utm_source=emplay&utm_medium=txt1" target="_blank" style="text-decoration:none;">Make an on-line slide show at <span style="text-decoration:underline;">www.OneTrueMedia.com</span></a></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">http://tickers.TickerFactory.com/ezt/d/4;10704;56/st/20061127/e/Julia%27s+Birthday/dt/-1/k/8111/event.png</div>The Thomas Crewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01835590554432462199noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29364091.post-66014715425083642452010-08-14T09:55:00.000-07:002010-08-14T09:59:53.667-07:00<object width="400" height="300"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=14131507&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=1&color=&fullscreen=1&autoplay=0&loop=0"><embed src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=14131507&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=1&color=&fullscreen=1&autoplay=0&loop=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="400" height="300"></embed></object><p> </p><p> </p><p><a href="http://vimeo.com/14131507">Untitled</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/user3827203">Leah Thomas</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com/">Vimeo</a>.</p><br /><br /><object width="400" height="300"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=14131257&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=1&color=&fullscreen=1&autoplay=0&loop=0"><embed src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=14131257&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=1&color=&fullscreen=1&autoplay=0&loop=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="400" height="300"></embed></object><p><a href="http://vimeo.com/14131257">Untitled</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/user3827203">Leah Thomas</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com/">Vimeo</a>.</p><p>A little lost footage from one of our several meals we ate at a Japanese place across from the hotel inside the Toshiba building.

I will deliver kids to four schools, sit with Chaning at her school for hours, return to pick up one kid for his well check-up 25 miles away and then go back to where I started to pick up one from football practice. Today was quite similar with fewer trips back and worth and I'm already thinking of how early we can all go to sleep tonight. I love when they are in school because of the routine but it takes some getting used to.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Chaning was very excited about her first visit to her school today. Upon entering the building, those grins of excitement quickly turned to leg holding and two words, "Go home". No, I am not leaving her for quite some time as we are still learning who goes where, when and why. This has got to be another huge adjustment for her seeing she is surrounded by 17 other littles that are speaking a foreign language and teachers that are giving instructions that she can't understand as well. Although, I have to say her comprehension of English is getting stronger every day. Her expressive language will be a while yet. She is extremely organized when it comes to the centers but is very territorial when it comes to the playground. This too shall pass.
