A Small Setback

Today we experienced a setback. During the night Rhonda got really sick. By morning she thought she was feeling better only to have it return again. She has been resting all day and 12 hours later is still not normal yet. Please pray that she would recover quickly.

Fortunately this was a "free" day for us. Some of the families were visiting the orphanage from which their baby came; however, our orphanage is 3 hours drive one way so we had already decided yesterday to stay home. It was a hard decision because we would really liked to have seen Nathan's home town (Pingdingshan) and especially the area near a large river where he was abandoned.

I spent the day with Nathan. Nathan bonded with Rhonda immediately but has been more reserved with me. (It's quite common that adopted babies will initially "prefer" one parent to another.) I feel like we connected today. Our hotel has a small play room we get to spend time together there. Nathan has the cutest little giggle when he is happy.

    will be praying for the return of Rhonda's health. It's hard to be sick so far away from home. I'll pass this prayer request on to the rest of the HIGH Day family. Love to you!
