Saturday in Guangzhou: The day started with a visit to the clinic to have Lanhua’s TB test read. It was negative! What a relief. Even though it looked to us like the test was negative, Steve and I were both silently sweating bullets for the past 2 days. A positive reading, even if the child is asymptomatic with a clean chest X-ray can be incredibly problematic and often leads to a significant delay in getting a US passport. It’s pretty ridiculous. To celebrate the happy news, we went to the Tomb of the 2nd Nanyue King (very cool for Steve and I) and then to one of the many parks in Guangzhou City (very cool for Lanhua). The park has a nice recreational area with small rides, games and crafts for kids. She had a great time. She rode just about everything that goes in circles (thankfully, Dad took many spins for the team), she painted a picture of the pink Pleasant Goat and we introduced her to bumper cars. When we returned to our hotel, we received an email from Tandora with a photo of Pablo, Milton, and Harper from their day's outing to Stinky Island in San Diego. Thank you, Tandora! It was the prefect close to an excellent day. |
