Coming at y'all live in the Beijing airport at 5:00 am!!

Fri-YAY!! We woke up and packed our bags. Hauling it like yaks up and down stairs, in and out of tunnels, to the 15th floor of the hospital. Carmen required several PT sessions throughout the day. We started off the morning with Carmen teaching on a variety of speech things, including tips for working with hearing impairments, vocal nodules, and how to administer a speech-language evaluation. The speech teaching session was completed with the therapists working on receptive language tasks. Amanda was the pretend child in the tasks, and she proved to be quite naughty at times, not following directions or attending to task. This provided all of us with some good entertainment and the therapists with some very realistic training.

Julie was tying up some loose ends.. She revisited the little girl with the de-gloving injury and educated on positioning and massage for decreased swelling and on use of the splint. Cassie took selfies with the girl to calm her nerves.

Cassie, Julie, and Shannon treated a young girl with torticollis who had previously come in that week. She was still super spicy!

We thought we were at a coffee shop as we returned to the Indian restaurant for muffins and coffee.

After lunch, Shannon taught on NICU information to the three local pediatric therapists. We also had a review session to discuss any questions and concerns before saying our goodbyes!

And now here we are... Waiting to come home to America! With just a tiny bit of luggage.. God bless America!! Momma, we're coming home!
