Day 13 - Medical Exam

AK had another great night.  Since she had a late nap, she went to bed later than usual.  Kevin got her to sleep and said that she pretty much put herself to sleep last night.  She may be my night owl.  At 8 am, we had to wake her up to get ready and eat breakfast. 

Today we went to the clinic for the medical exam.  When we got there, we waited around 40 minutes for the doctors to get there.  She went to three stations.  The nurse station weighed her and got her height.  AK was 19.8 lbs and 29.5 inches tall.  Then we saw the ENT who looked at her ears and throat.  Then we saw the medical examiner who reviewed her medical reports, listened to her heart and lungs, and examined her scar from the tumor.  The total exam took about 20 minutes.  AK cried, but did better than I expected.  While waiting on the other families to have their exams, AK fell asleep and slept all the way back to hotel. 

We walked across the street to Subway for lunch.  We discovered that AK loves bananas.  We had an easy afternoon hoping AK would take a nap, but she did not. Kevin and AK walked around the hotel. They went to the playground and she seemed to have fun. Then 10 minutes before leaving for the Pearl River Boat Cruise she crashed. We got on the bus to leave and she woke up possessed by the devil. Kevin got her to calm down.

We boarded a ferry boat that went up and down a portion of the Pearl River. We had a buffet supper with Chinese food. I ate a steamed bun, bread, rice, and corn on cob. AK ate the most of all us. She had rice, sausage meatballs, dumplings, steamed bun, noodles, etc. It was so pretty to see the city at night. The bridges were lit up with lights and changed colors. The canton tower was amazing. It was lit up like a rainbow. There was a clown show. AK enjoyed dancing to the music.

Tomorrow we plan to do some shopping. The group is going to the zoo and a family style restaurant, but we are going to pass.
