Counting Down
It is Wednesday night and I am dog tired. Have walked around for about 4-5 hours. Great exercise but it does tire one out. I was called to Teri's room and another couples room tonight. Both babies have a small case of ringworm. I was called to look at another baby yesterday and she had ringworm also. I got really curious as to why these babies are breaking out now. They have been with their parents for a week today and it seems another baby breaks out with this fungus each day.
I looked this up tonight on the computer. It seems the incubation period is 4 to 10 days after exposure. Then the rash starts. It is very contagious. It would seem that the kids were exposed to this in the orphanage and are breaking out now. Maddie had two little spots on her and the other baby had one. Both are being treated, so hopefully their case won't become as bad as the little girl I spoke of yesterday.
We have two more days here. We leave Guangzhou Saturday morning around 8:45. Go to Hong Kong and leave there headed for the States around 12:30. It will be a 15 hour flight coming back. We will fly into Chicago and have a 4 hour layover there, then on in to Atlanta where the place will be packed with family and friends to welcome us back. Ok, they are not really there to welcome us back, they will be there to see Maddie. Once again I can hardly wait to be home again.
Will post pics tomorrow of a few places we went today. I am too tired to look for my camera right. So until tomorrow - good night.

I pray that this not be a kink in the works. May God heal the ring worms.
Sure will be glad when you're back in the states and we can talk by phone. Just promise you won't talk incessantly about Maddie! Otherwise I'll not be able to get an edge in wordwise about Chipper!!! Deal?
