Suprise!

Hi all! Sorry for the delay in updates. Kelly sent me a message last night, however it's a little more difficult to post these things real time as we are faced with a 16hr time difference now that we are back on the west coast! Jaelynn & Kelly are doing much better than they reported in the last update! They have huge news! Check it out!

"It is Tuesday afternoon here in China and a lot has transpired since my last update. I am sure you could sense my frustrations in my last post. I am finally starting to feel better today.
We are coming home 3 days early... Yay! I spoke to my guide on Sunday and she recommended I email the consulate to try to get Jaelynn's Visa appointment moved from Thursday to Tuesday. They agreed and she had her appointment today (Tuesday morning). So we should get her actual Visa tomorrow afternoon (Wednesday) and then we are free to leave.. We booked flights to leave Friday morning which puts us arriving in Orlando Friday evening. We are leaving directly from Guangzhou which is great. We go from here to Tokyo, then Houston Texas, then home sweet home! We were originally scheduled to take a train to Hong Kong and leave from there.
Enough about us coming home early and on to an update on Jaelynn. She is doing good! She is starting to understand more of what I say. I continue to see improvement each day. She likes to talk so she will say whatever you ask her to and she also repeats you a lot. She is the typical two year old who plays, has fun, is extremely lovable, and throws fits when she doesn't get what she wants! She loves to cuddle and give lots of hugs. I got my first kiss yesterday :) She is doing good with sleeping. She takes naps and goes to bed at a reasonable time. She loves taking a bath now. She likes to brush her teeth. She is potty trained. The two hurdles with that are to get her to communicate when she has to go and to pull her pants up and down. I just make sure to take her often and she is good!
She is not eating worth a darn still. I just keep trying but not too worried about it. We will work on it when we get home. For now she is living off of fruit, yogurt, and formula. I took her to McDonalds and she wouldn't eat chicken nuggets. What kid doesn't like nuggets? Haha. She did eat the fries. There is a McDonald's right outside the door of this hotel which is convenient."

Love,
