Yesterday was another busy day. We visited the Chen family temple which was actually more of a museum of local arts and crafts. It was beautiful and fascinating, but the heat makes things, well, not so much fun! After our tour, Brian, Quinn and Gracie headed back to the hotel while the girls and I went to the pearl market. Talk about sensory overload. Five or six floors of nothing but jewelry vendors. I had my list of what we wanted, so we were done pretty quickly.
After Gracie's nap we spent a good hour in the hotel playroom. She was finally playing with toys on her own and actually crawled a little to get her toys. She still hasn't walked for us so we're anxious to get those little legs moving.
As we walked to dinner I thought she felt warm, and sure enough Gracie had a pretty high fever. She has had a cough since the second day, and we weren't sure if it had to do with teething, her palate, or getting used to air conditioning. We came back to our room to give her Motrin and started her on an antibiotic. Her fever is slight today so we're just going to hang around the room for the day & let her rest. She has been playing on the bed with Erin for quite a while. She will hand her a toy and clap for herself & then do it all over again. Its' so fun to watch little glimpse of her personality come out! She is a brave little girl, but is very cautious with opening herself up to trust.
Please pray for her complete healing. We're scheduled to go to the zoo tomorrow morning, and I would love for her to be able to go and enjoy it. Last night the rest of our travel group arrived her in Guangzhou- 18 families in all!
I have never in my life been more happy to be an American on the Fourth of July. Seriously - We are so blessed.
