Update on Aidan

We are in China to get our daughter. Our guide, Louise, called to check on Hannah and she is doing great. Most of the babies from Hubei are in foster care, so she asked why Hannah was still in the orphanage. They told Louise because she was their favorite!



Louise also called Aidan's orphanage to check on him! He is still in Intensive Care but he has improved! She also said that someone from the orphanage is always there with him. Praise God! You have answered two of our prayers. Louise also told us that he has nephritis that started out as a cold. The first thing I thought of was melamine. He was too healthy to get nephritis from a cold.



The next day the English speaking Chinese Television Station reported that there was only one child still in ICU due to the melamine. It was a boy! First of all I know that the Chinese government grossly understated the number of babies still in the hospital. But, still....this comment haunted my very soul.



However, we are so pleased that Aidan is doing better. That information allowed us to go forward and enjoy our time in China. It also allowed us to welcome Hannah into our arms, our hearts and our lives. We are grateful for Louise asking for this information. We also know that our CW probably prompted Louise to ask. We love you both for this generous act of kindness.
