Quick little update:
Thursday we did medical, orphanage, and finding site. Medical was extremely traumatic. In spite of that, we were able to comfort her and got her first laugh(s). We had an overall really good day, but had a long night. She cried many times in the night...previous nights no crying. We assume night terrors from the traumatic medical and possibly from the cold she's fighting. And maybe she's testing us to see if we'll console.
Friday, we only did paperwork in the afternoon. We spent the morning and part of the day trying to force any and all liquids down Meiying as she went without urinating for over 16 hours. She lost a lot of liquids the day before at medical with all her sweating. We stayed at the hotel most of the day so she could rest because she definitely was not feeling well. We received word that her Tb test came back negative so no x-rays needed. Thank God! Now we just need her fever to fully break and stay gone. We all need a full night's rest so prayers for that please. We also are getting to a point where we need MeiMei to go number 2. She hasn't since before we received her on Tuesday morning...it's Friday night here.
Observations- she is not a picky eater and will eat anything (wahoo) and that kid has some amazing dexterity, hand-eye coordination, and throwing ability...speed and force. We've all been popped on the knuckles with the ball...and it hurt!!!
