Hotel Bound

Katie has been a little sick, and we chose to stay in the hotel yesterday (no photos all day can you believe it?). We did go to the orphanage yesterday afternoon to visit the doctors there to get her checked out - cough, runny nose, fever, and some vomiting. We were concerned because she rejected us feeding her for almost 2 days, and the nurse traveling with us agreed that she appeared dehydrated.

They gave her a shot, handed us some meds, and gave her a 4 ounce bottle of what she is used to. We got the bottle (she's super picky about things like that), and the guide had the hotel make the "egg milk" like she is used to as well for us. She also ate quite a bit of congee last night as well. She kept 12 ounces down yesterday, fever broke, she smiled and danced for us. Her cough is much better, still there, but better. She slept well last night. The orphanage docs wanted us to bring her back Friday morning for another check since we are flying to Guangzhou tonight.

We were chastised greatly for not enough layers so I am making sure she has plenty today. ;)

I will try to take more photos today, it's been a little hard with how she's feeling and how she is still rejecting me. Although she did prefer me over the orphanage director and doctors. She smiles at the other females in our travel group, and plays with them. Which means that it's not all females she is rejecting, just me. Which means she knows there is something special about me and it is related to her attachment to her foster mom. If Dh is not around, she will accept me and let me care for her. So there is that.

Today is "relax" day according to the guide, so we check out around 3pm, catch our 5:45 PM flight to Guangzhou (about 1.5-2 hour plane ride). Get into Guangzhou hopefully with enough time to get her some food before we fall asleep.

I will try not to forget photos today. I do have a LOT of photos from Wednesday when we visited the Stone Forest. Gorgeous there, and so much to photograph. :)
