Update on Clinic visit...

I've noticed that Myah hasn't had many wet diapers. She has had several bowel movements but doesn't urinate often. When we went for the medical exam yesterday they didnt even have a blood pressure cuff in the clinic for children.
Chelsea Gour, I emailed you privately..please read your email. I have some questions for you since you experienced this with Claire. Please email privately..Thanks
I will post once I get back from the clinic.

...ok back from clinic and I got nowhere. I spent 20 minutes trying to explain that she is not urinating..They looked at me like "huh?"..It was like playing charades...I'm pointing and doing noise effects to indicate peeing...Finally I got a translator (a man who works the reception desk).
The doctor said Myah doesnt have edema and doesnt appear to have dark rings under her eyes (he drew a picture of a raccoon for that one). I am getting good at pictionary.

I met a couple in the room next to us who is a nurse. He will check in to evaluate her. Also my girlfriend Tracy is expected in tonight (she is a Dr) but she just contacted me and said her flight from Tokyo was cancelled and arrives on Saturday. She will give her a check too. I hop ehse pees tonight.

Good Morning. Did you hear from Chelsea Gour? If not, let me know. I'll try to track her down for you.
Love the 1.5 meters v. 1.5 feet. Now I've been warned for my time in a pool.
Lovin' all the posts and darling pictures. You're better entertainment than the Olympics.
Hugs, Vicki

Havent heard from Chelsea...Went to the clinic and they were useless.

Lina said...

Really...?? A raccoon?? Not a Roona Racconna by chance? hehe
Hope everything turns up ok...

Rina - I emailed Chelsea, too. I also just called CHI in St. Louis and left a voice mail for Danielle K. to contact me. All I'm going to mention is that you are needing to get in touch w/Chelsea b/c you have one question -- could SHE call the Gour's at home and tell them to check email. Nothing more.
Is that okay? I'll let you know when I hear from Danielle.

Vicki said...

NEVERMIND!!! I'm not going to say anything to St. Louis. I just called my cousin in Charleston, SC where the Gour's live. He's going to track down their phone number, and I'll call them directly.
Hang on...

Thanks Vicki and Chelsea,
What a team!
Chelsea I will keep you posted. I feel so helpless here in China. There is a nurse who is the next room over and he will keep evaluating her.
