This morning we woke up and headed to breakfast. Can you say HEAVEN!! Yeah for french toast, scrambled eggs, and bacon. Deacon also put away the bananas. After that we met up with our group and walked to the medical examination. Can you say HEAT and HUMIDITY. It is very hot here. We first had to go and get another set of passport type pictures of Deacon to go on his medical report, then on over to the medical examination. OH MY!! That is all I can say. There were people EVERYWHERE. We first went in a room where they checked his hearing by squeaking a toy to one side and then the other. They checked to see if he looked when they squeaked. :) Then they looked in his ears and mouth. He did great. Then from there we waited to go into another room where they stripped him down and did a physical examination and listened to his heart. After that we went to another room that they checked his weight, height, and temperature. This all took about 2 1/2- 3 hours. Thank goodness that was all we had to do. Some families who fall under the new Hague Treaty have to have their child up to date on vaccinations. So that means some children are getting 4 and 5 shots at once. Luckily we did not have to do that. Next time we will unless something is changed. Also if your child is over 2 they have to be tested for TB. If they test positive then there is all kinds of drama that ensues. They then have to have a chest x-ray. If that is not clear then they will not be returning home. This happened to a little girl just recently. She had to be left with a family and be treated for another 30 days. This is not China's regulations, but the CDC in America. We are thankful Deacon is under 2 and healthy.
