Please continue to pray for Reagan. All of the babies from the
GaoZhou Orphanage are sick - most with bronchitis. Another baby
is also getting shots. Reagan threw up again this morning, her
whole bottle! Same routine as yesterday. We were ready to go out
of the door when it happened! I really think it is because she
hates anything other than her formula; and I mean ANYTHING! The
orphanage gave us a bottle, formula, rice cereal, and the
directions of how they mix the bottles on Forever Day. We will
keep her on it and then switch her at home. It is a local
formula, and Reagan will take nothing else, not even juice -
NOTHING! I thought she may like sweet things, but no, just her
formula. This makes it hard when we try to sneak her antibiotic
in her bottle. She notices the difference and refuses to drink
it! Can we say picky??!! This morning I tried to give her some
tylenol for her fever and congestion and teething. She fought me
every step of the way. She spits it up, and what she doesn't get
out, she gags! She absolutely refuses to swallow it! Talk about
stubborn! She works herself up to where she throws up! Ashton
and Kieron, sound familiar? =) I tell you - we may get thrown
out of here by housekeeping! She also has horrible gas! The
mylecon drops do not seem to be helping! She did have a bowel
movement today and a wet diaper. Sean said that he never thought
that he would be so happy to see, and smell, a stinky diaper! We
did get a little water in her today. Please pray that she eats
better and that she will keep it down and that we can get the
medicine in her! Also pray that she feels better and that she
will give a little in the control area! I wonder who that sounds
like?
Today we went to the supermarket. We got Reagan some more
diapers, rice cereal, and the rest of the necessities. I bought
some Chinese food there - Pringles! Ha! Well, at least it is in
a Chinese can, right! Sean got a cold bottle of 7up, and Reagan
took it from him and would not give it back! It was cold, and
she would hold it really close to her and lick it. She got very
mad at us when we had to take it away for a few seconds to pay
for it. It was so funny! When we got back, Reagan napped, and
then we went to get a few photos developed. We took them to Ben,
a local painter, to get oil paintings done of all three of our
girls. He is amazing and so CHEAP! (Susan, we got your painting
for you.) Tonight our group went to the Cantonese restaurant. I
really did like the food. It is very different than the food in
Beijing. Afterwards, Sean went with one of our friends, Wayne,
to pick up our laundry. We were running out, especially when
Reagan keeps throwing up on me! Tomorrow we are headed out to
get Reagan’s visa photo done and the visa medical exam.
Ashton and Kieron,
How are our sweet girls doing? Each day that passes means we are
one day closer to you! We cannot wait to see you! I hope that
you have been good! I know you have! We got you something today.
I can’t tell you what it is though; you will just have to wait
and see! We got a book for Reagan that you both will have to
read to her. It has a picture, the word in Chinese, Pinyin, and
English. We can all learn together! We miss you and love you!

Reagan's first grocery trip.
Reagan and Daddy's 7up.
She loved the bottle, just not what was inside.
Am I flexible or what?
