Quote

We witness a miracle every time a child enters
into life. But those who make their journey home across time and miles,
growing within the hearts of those who wait for them, are carried on the wings
of destiny and placed among us by God's very own hands.

Music

The music playing is some of my favorite songs that have inspired me and kept me moving through those difficult days where I find myself missing Katie and struggling to understand God's timing. I would encourage you to continue listening to the music even when you are done reading our updates!

Day 2 with Katie

Today was our second day, and it was much like the first.  She is still very quiet and clearly grieving and scared.  She is also still not feeling well and had to have her absess drained again today which was painful.  The pnemonia seems a bit better but the doc said it can certainly fluctuate and she may have a fever the entire time we remain in China which would be a huge bummer for her. 
She loves food and clearly stuffs herself as it appears she thinks she is still on the orphanage feeding schedule.  There she only got two meals a day.  But we are Harris's and we eat a lot, so she will soon figure this out.  Food is never in short demand!
Tomorrow we are going to Shaolin Temple and seeing a Kung Foo show and the next day we are going to go to her orphanage.  Given that she is still very much shut down emotionally right now, we are not going to take her inside.  We are going to trade off so that she does not have to experience any further trauma.  Today she started to panic when Patrick stepped around a corner and she couldn't see him anymore.  Poor thing.
I am attaching a picture of Katie after her first bath.  More to follow.....You know the drill.......it will only let me enter one photo at a time.
