We are tired, but holding up well. Jade's temp. hit 102.8F yesterday, and this morning it was 100.6F. The children's Advil seems helped to break the fever yesterday, and we are giving her that whenever her temp. is up (not all the time as advised by our U.S. doctor who arrived last night). Jade is really worn out, and crying more, but very attached to her new Ma Ma. Her appetite has improved quite a bit since the first night, and we are giving her more congee mixed with fish soup -- she loves it! The pediatrician from CAWLI is determining if we should take her back to the Children's Hospital to do IV's number 3 & 4, or she may be able to just give the medicine as an injection to Jade. We'll see. We really think that Jade will improve over the next couple of days. We were told that she had the measles the week before we got her, and she does have little red raised bumps all over her chest and sides, but there is also the possibility that it is scabies. As a precaution, we are going to apply the cream for scabies before she goes to bed tonight. Hopefully, that will help get rid of them, and reduce her itching. Although we understand the itching may continue for several more days.
