Our last night in Hang Zhou
June 12th, 2007
I can’t believe that it is our last night here - what an emotional rollercoaster today has been. Three families left today - I was wrong about lawrence of romania leaving on Wednesday. It was very hard to say good-bye to them all and yet it was Brooklyn’s last day of therapy and Dr.Mike is very pleased with her progress. I have gotten used to china, the hospital and the staff here - it has become a home away from home. As I have said a thousand times, everyone here has been so nice and helpful and they all love Brooklyn (I know - who can blame them). I am very grateful to have had this experience and wouldn’t trade anything for it. As much as i have missed being away from my family, I will miss everyone I have met here in china that has helped me through this journey. I know there are many of you that have been praying for us and checking up on us daily and we thank you more then we can express. it is nice to know that in this crazy world there are people out there who still care about others and put the needs of others before their own - I wish there could be more of that in this world! My in laws here in China have been very helpful and this trip would have been a greater challenge without them and we can’t thank them enough. There are so many people that have helped in so many ways it would be impossible to name everyone, but if you are reading this - we thank you because it means you care enough to check up on us!!!
I know it will be another rollercoaster tomorrow having to say good-bye to everyone that took such great care of Brooklyn and I, for that matter. If you ever have the chance to visit china I would highly recommend it. When my in laws moved here I told them I would never come visit but I am glad we got to see this country.
The longer I write the more I cry, so I think I will stop now. I will continue to keep updating the blog with news of Brooklyn’s progess - so keep checking back!!!!
I will try to post once more before we leave Sunday morning, so until then…………………………..
Love - Heather & Brooklyn

Heather, I didn’t realize you were still at the hospital until I read your e-mail this morning. What a great update for everyone to read. I am so glad Brooklyn made some progress during her stay in China. We can only pray that it will continue. You couldn’t have said it more perfect. Journey!! Life is all about journeys. The experience you had, along with the wonderful people you met, will be with you for a lifetime. You are very blessed to have had Michelle and Bob there for you, Scott, Sydney and Brooklyn. I told you she was the best host in the world. My stay with her was the best time I ever had in my life. Well, I will continue to read the updates you provide every day.
Love
Auntie Joannie & Uncle Bob
