At the White Swan



I made it back to Guangzhou and I am in my room at the White Swan. We got to the hotel about 9 p.m. and I have just finished getting Addie down and unpacking. Tomorrow we go get her Visa pic made and then get her physical. I am going to give her some tylenol before we go for the physical just in case she has a little fever. The pland ride was somthing. She was not bad, just acitve. Holding a 10 month old in a tiny plane seat is like giving a cat a bath. I think she made have need for some Benadryl before we head back to the states. Probably more than one dose for a trip of around 22 hours. At least it is quicker going home than coming. It took us 28 hours to get from huntsville to here. We got our adoption certificate today. I was ready to leave Wuhan. The polution was really making my sinuses act up. It does not seem to be as poluted here. I hope not anyways. I will try to post a couple of pics. I am tired and going to bed. Next Thurs when I head home ya'll may want to think about having one of those continuous prayer vigels. If the 1 hour 20 min. flight today is any indication of the trip home I will be ready for a straight jacket when I get there.

Hey Kevin,
You might do a "trial run" with the Benadryl--it works opposite on Zach!

Hi there Kevin and Addie,
We continue to pray for y'all and your safety back home. Hey, the two of you made the front page in today's FCT. It was a nice story.

One day closer,
Stanley & Betty

Oh, Kevin, I counted down my hours! There were times I knew an hour went by and it was only a short time. You all will make it just fine. Hopefully she will rest and be a good girl. Make sure she has lots of things she likes. We gave Sarah her little treats which she loved and plenty of rice cakes. Of course, she had lots to drink.
We will surely pray for you!
