Not Much to Talk About...

Things are well. We finally got our "Hatchbacks" so Bai Hua is wearing her braces at school now. The Hatchbacks are special shoes that open up in the back so she can slide her foot in easily. They are really great. Nice and wide and easy to put on. She is also able to stand in them and walk some unassisted. She could not do this when she first left the hospital. She has definitely regained most of her strength. I don't think her stamina is as good but she is also getting more comfortable.

Her teacher is pretty awesome. She is learning a few Chinese words. Also, we are sending a Chinese dictionary so that she can relate her English words back to Chinese. We are going to hang this on her walker so that she has it at all times. This will also help her peers to communicate with her.

Our neighbor girl sits in the seat across from her and a boy from Taiwan sits beside her. She seems to be very comfortable with school and all of her teachers love her. She is so easy going. She gets so excited though about her homework. She learned all of the continents and bodies of water... next up, the states!

All is well here... I hope that everyone is enjoying this last bit of summer.
