Today Wu Yi is having her surgery. I have to wake her up in a few minutes to encourage her to drink clear liquids and then she can't have anything more to eat or drink. Her surgery time is around noon. She "talked" to me about it quite a bit yesterday. She knows that she will be having her mouth "fixed" and that we will be at the hospital for a few days and that she will hurt and have to take "yucky" medicine ~ yet despite all that, her only concern is that I will stay with her. She also asked if the Dr was going to fix her nose. I told her he wouldn't be doing that until she was more grown up. She was disappointed. She told me people in China made fun of her nose.
She is starting to write me notes in Pinion! (Chinese in English letters). She is very excited that she can communicate with me this way. Unfortunately, she is limited by her 6 months of education. When she gets stuck she draws Chinese characters, which I am unable to read.
Don is completely excluded from all this progress she is making. Its starting to take its toll on him.
It breaks my heart that kids were teasing her about her nose! Poor girl! I wish kids weren't so mean to each other. I'll be praying for her surgery today and hope she has a speedy recovery with very little pain.
ReplyDeleteI know this is late, so it's probably all over with now, but I hope things went well. Glad she's taking comfort from you and hope she lets her father into your circle before long.
