		<description><![CDATA[I know there are a few folks who have been waiting for a Merry update. I apologize for not getting to this sooner but we are just exhausted and are making it through this (barely) one day at a time. She is improving every day but that doesn&#8217;t mean it&#8217;s not incredibly difficult. I theoretically [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Uhhhh, let&#8217;s see. How to summarize the past week or so&#8230; We made it home. Merry loves the dogs and cats. Two of the dogs love her back, one avoids her (but she avoids everybody pretty much &#8211; she&#8217;s 15 years old), and the cats could mostly care less except for the fact that this [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Things that happened today: Somehow scored a private van for free to shuttle us and another family to the Hong Kong airport from the hotel instead of making us ride the ginormous shuttle bus with a billion other people &#8211; check (woot!). Waited in line forever to check in with United where they couldn&#8217;t find [...]]]></description>

Checked out of the hotel around 3:30PM Received Merry&#8217;s visa around 4PM. Was in a van heading to Hong Kong by 4:15PM. We made it to the hotel by around 8PM, I [...]]]></description>

We had to be on the bus at some ungodly hour to be there first thing so breakfast was early, early, early. I don&#8217;t do early and J was annoying because he was hungry so [...]]]></description>

We had a little bit of paperwork to do in the AM but we were able to have a leisurely breakfast before J took the girls back to the room while I met up with the group to prepare the documents that the US consulate needs to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With bated breath we headed to the visa medical appointment. Merry was loaded up with ibuprofen and we headed out thinking good thoughts of a normal temperature and a patient child(ren). We made it to the new building with no issues. The medical exam used to be done on Shamian Island but it&#8217;s moved to [...]]]></description>

I have great memories there (except it being where I chipped a tooth on our last trip here - which kind of sucked) so it felt good to be there again. It also felt humid. [...]]]></description>

She is eating normally and drinking enough &#8211; even though I resorted to syringe feeding (drinking?) her 6 ounces of formula and 4 ounces of pedialyte this evening. I understand why she [...]]]></description>

We, along with a couple of other families, decided to grab some taxis and head over to the Henan Provincial Museum. Admission is free for foreign passport [...]]]></description>
