Part Two

After lunch, we got to the best stuff of all... We made a visit to Xuzhou Children's Hospital. This is the hospital where our sweet little boy was dropped off as a 1-day old infant, discovered by a very special angel, and flown into the arms of a doctor and his staff who were dedicated to some of the most needy little people in the world.

We were so humbled. Ms. Tong coordinated our arrival with meeting all the players in Johnny's Hospital story. First, we met the gal who first discovered "Wei Jiahong". She is a section chief of the unit and is pictured here pointing and talking about finding the little guy. We decided to go over there and reassure him he'd never be left again. Our prayers go out to his biological mother. I cannot even begin to imagine how sad, scared and desperate she must have felt when left with this as her son's most favorable option.

Alas! Who has come out to greet us? The doctor who performed Johnny's abdominal surgery!!! We asked Denise our coordinator to thank him for his hand in Johnny's life. He responded that it's all about the kids and he works with an incredible staff of nurses and other physicians that make these things possible.

The staff then took us to the ICU where Johnny spent the first month of his little life. Here, we are pictured with the nurse who cared for him. And, she is standing at his particular ICU bed.




Here's a cute little chuckle. Since I'm the one writing this blog, I'm gonna put this one up. Check out Dan prepping for the tour! Looks pretty good, eh?
