Day 9 - Hello Guangzhou!!

Let me just start by saying we love the Garden Hotel!!  Even though it's in the middle of the city, it's actually very quite and serene in the hotel and on the hotel grounds.  Definitely the place to stay!!  Today was our day to go get Emma's medical check up.  She had to be examined and have a TB skin test placed.  The clinic was crammed with people doing the same thing but the staff was efficient and we moved through the line pretty quickly.  There was a humorous part that I will always remember. When it was Emma's turn, the doctor was listening to her chest and suddenly his eyes grew big and he was clearly startled.  He quickly motioned to us to another room and had another doctor listen to her.  He also got a surprised look on his face and in came another doctor.  They all spoke quickly and in hushed voices.  Then they started pointing to the right side of one doctor's chest.  Then I understood and I said, "It's OK!  Yes, her heart is on the wrong side of her chest!"  The look of relief washed over their faces and then they started laughing and laughing.  They quickly signed her papers and ushered us out of the room.  :)
She got her TB skin test and we were done.  We all went to have lunch at Lucy's Restaurant (we befriended 2 other families who were also using our same agency.  One family has 2 older children who get along wonderfully with Madelyn and Luke) and then we called it a day.  We'll all be going to the Safari Park tomorrow.  It's basically like Disney's Animal Kingdom.  We're looking forward to it! It was a good day!
