SOS Medical Clinic and The Great Wall of China

 So, today we were busy! Up and out of our room by 6:45 to have breakfast and go to the SOS clinic to the medical. Dru loves being outside, so every time he sees me grab the carrier, he knows we are going somewhere. But be ready to walk out the door as soon as you pick it up. He will scream until he is in it and out the door. 

We quickly ate breakfast and was on the bus and off to the clinic. The medical doctor was from Montreal, and oh so sweet. Nice to be able to chat about home for a few minutes. When we first walked into the room, she asked if Dru was a special needs baby. She could not see his repairs. Then she looked closer and saw, especially inside his mouth. She said whoever did his lip repair did an amazing job, as she thought he was a non special needs little peanut. He was not a happy camper with everyone looking into his mouth. I literally had to hold him down so she could examine him. He was kicking and screaming, and wow, is he ever strong. Good for attachment! NOT! The pictures will tell how upset he was. You can see the little tears rolling down his cheeks. It breaks my heart to have to do this.

So he is well but has medication for a infection on his chest. I knew that receiving him in Nanjing. Wasn't a surprise. What was a surprise was the medical bill after. Holy smokes! 

After we were done, we were all bundled up and of to the great wall. This places is oh so beautiful and it's just amazing. It was very windy and cold. I was so glad we packed hat, mittens, wind pants and had layered Dru well. We climbed the wall, did our lock, and took video and wonderful pictures. 







-so funny to not him locked in a car seat but sleeping 

-the jade factory.......the huge boat!
