Another Update

We got another update today about Jadyn.  I'm pretty sure it was supposed to be sent together with the pictures, but in China Adoption, things tend to get jumbled up sometimes.  I am so proud of my good attitude!  (note:  good attitude follows after complete meltdown last night.)

No new pictures, but it was reported that she did indeed have her cleft palate repaired at the end of May.

She had cleft palate repair surgery at the Shiyan City People’s Hospital on 5/28/2010. She entered the hospital on 5/19/2010. She left the hospital on 6/18/2010 when she recovered completely. The surgery is successful and she is in foster care family now. She is on antibiotic, and is told to keep her mouth clean. She is drinking milk and liquid. She can take solid food two months later.

She was very cooperative at the hospital. She did not cry or make a fuss, so when she was in the hospital, doctors and nurses all praised her as a well-behaved child. She is cleaver and lovely, likes to go outside. When she looks at the cartoon on TV she is very happy and would move her body with the music, and hum with the songs. She likes to read simple picture book and imitate, e.g. she would fly kiss to you for good-bye. When you put her clothes on she would raise her arms up. She understands simple name of the stuff, e.g. shoes, bottles, cars. She will choose colorful toys to play. She knows who she is familiar with. She can say grandma, big brother, baba. If you call her name she will turn around to look for you and smile at you. When it is time for meals she is very excited when caretakers bring food in front of her. She likes toys with music. She likes to go outside to play.

This is only a little bit of information, but it is a HUGE piece of good news for this waiting Mama and Baba.

Not afraid of dogs......that is also good news!

Happy Tuesday!!
