August 3rd
We are sorry for the delay in posts and appreciate all of your thoughts and prayers at this time. This has been the most frightening, heart wrenching, physically, mentally, and spiritually trying time for Beth, Mok, and the babies. In time, when they are ready, they will share the stories and events that have taken place.
What is important now is focusing on the recovery of Mei Mei and BiBi and their safe return to the U.S. They are both in PICU with a rare pneumonia (they do not know the cause and we probably never will know) and slowly improving day by day. Their temperatures are down, their circulation has improved, their respiratory rate is finally normal, and removal of the ventilator is the next step. Both babies are unable to drink from bottles so this will be very challenging for a while and especially on the plane ride home.
They are searching and are in need of a doctor to travel on the plane ride home with them so if anyone has any connections or any information that would help, please notify us immediately.
Your continued thoughts and prayers warm our hearts. Please send all your positive, healthy energy their way.
With all my love,
Aunt Jamie

I will be praying ... It is so hard to be over there and feel helpless ... A friend sent me your blog ...
Praying for your family. If you have travel insurance, they may pay for medical evacuation.
So sorry to hear that the babies are sick. I will be praying for your family and for a quick recovery.

Hi,
I sent a generic question to Dr Jane Liedtke (see below) regarding a family in Guanzhou with an ill baby and here are her suggestions. Jane is an American who lives in China. Take care & Stay strong! God is watching over your family.

Have the family contact either Beijing United Family Hospital
www.ufh.com or www.ufh.com.cn or International SOS. International SOS
will fly/send physicians to care for their members. Membership is
around $500 for a family membership in China. Both hospitals (Beijing
United and International SOS have pediatricians). They can also
recommend physicians in Guangzhou that can assist. There are
international clinics there as well and with Shenzhen and Hong Kong
clinics closer than Shanghai or Beijing, I'd imagine SOS could send
someone from Hong Kong to the site, if needed. All the contact info is
available online. Also, as US citizens they can call the US Embassy in
Beijing and ask to speak with Dr. Lawrence Hill who is the US
physician on-site.

I heard about your family on RQ. Your family remains in my prayers.
We have two daughters from China and on both trips they had to be hospitalized. I understand how scary it is, to be new parents in a foreign country with sick babies. I wish there was something I could do to ease your pain. I'm sure you can't wait to get home!
Praying for you in Cincinnati, Ohio...

Many prayers that the babies are getting better day by day and that they will soon be well enough to travel home!
