Valerie, 19 mon., Madeline, 3 1/2, Jennifer and Meigan. Valerie is as big as Meigan! They all had fun together!
Oops! Lost my sock!
Feeling better the second day!
Mommy pulling the wagon on the PICU floor!This is my second attempt at posting. Somehow I lost my previous one after uploading pics. Sorry, but this will be shorter.
We made it back home after visiting for an hour with a friend I met from a Yahoo group. Her oldest daughter, Madeline, 3 1/2, and Meigan are from the same orphanage in Kunming. We have been wanting to meet for some time. They live right across Alligator Alley in Davie, Fl. The girls had fun playing together and hope to see them again soon.
Meigan is doing well. She slept most of the way home. When we got home, she headed straight for her highchair! I panicked about what to feed her, but tomato soup suited her fine. I have to feed her myself, but she did'nt seem to mind as long as the food comes! (She suckered her night nurse into giving her jello at 1am this morning, I was told!)
She's doing ok with the no-nos, velcro armsplints to prevent her from putting her fingers in her mouth. She wears them to bed.
She goes back for her post-op visit in 2weeks. If all is well with the palate, we move on to phase 2(lip and nose revision) in Dec.
Thank you everyone for your thoughts and prayers! I know that's what got us through!

Great news and cute pictures. Jennifer sure is starting to look older isn't she? I wish she wanted to "grow into" her big sister role.
She looks great and I love that she just wants an endless supply of food, esp. at 1 in the morning.
Can't belive she has to wear those splints it reminds me of the foot braces we used to wear to bed to correct our feet.
Glad your home!
