It's great to hear how well Jia has adapted to her family! Madison had that wonderful ear wax mess when we came home in 2004 - luckily we have only had to have it taken care of the one time! Let me know what they find on Jia's x-rays - I had surgery as a yound teen to correct my curvature. I know they have come a long way since waaaaay back then! <BR/>Happy Holidays!<BR/>DawnnDawnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11002315557108001618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26515796.post-82049920384585837292008-12-18T11:56:00.000-08:002008-12-18T11:56:00.000-08:00Anna is very stoic like that too.

I like Jia's attitude! When are we going to go play again?Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14874626811752598873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26515796.post-21615764938487394282008-12-18T07:46:00.000-08:002008-12-18T07:46:00.000-08:00Jia's first doctor visit sounds very similar to Ol...Jia's first doctor visit sounds very similar to Olivia's! Ear wax issues, curvature of the spine, lots of x-rays, etc. We initially had to follow up with a specialist because of thyroid concerns, but that ended up normalizing :) We also found her to be anemic and not responding to iron supplements...so I pushed for her to be tested for Thalassemia. Yep, she is a carrier, but not symptomatic. <BR/><BR/>Olivia did however cry a lot in anticipation of the blood tests, but was surprising good while the blood was being drawn. When she had her kindergarten shots, she didn't cry at all which was a shock. In the beginning all the medical follow-ups were overwhelming making sure her heart surgery in China was enough. In the end, we were relieved to find out that we have a pretty healthy kid :) Sounds like Jia is too, with all that energy! Hope all the tests come out well :)Karynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05024351969737730502noreply@blogger.com
