This is a pic of Michael with a Temperature of 102. The fever was freezing him! Our apartment isn't the warmest, but it really isn't this cold! Poor Michael. The Fever Stayed for another day and we decided to take him to the hospital where they said he had pnemonia and had to stay there for 10 days! we are on Day 2 1/2. He is doing a lot better, and is in high spirits! He jokes with friends as they visit that he is in a 5 star hotel.
Our 5 Star Hotel
This is the Mean nurse that always pokes Michael with needles. The first day we were there, there were blood tests, and the I.V. that the Chinese believe cures everything. So there were 2 pokes for that day. The next day he got 2 more for more blood tests and 2 more re-inserts of the I.V. Needle. Poor Kid!
Poor Michael, his nice neighbor (that only stays for the day, but goes home at night! why won't they let us do that!) The Universities Head doctor, and the Mean Nurse (she really is nice, we just don't like the needles!)
The first day in the "Hotel". Our friend Allen who was there all day to help translate! He is awesome. He checks up on me and michael everyday! The other lady chewing sugar can is the Janitor. We didn't know it at the moment, we thought she was just some random lady coming to see the foreigner. (there have been a few heads pop in since word got out) She even helped michael take off his shoes. She visits quite a big to chat, even though we have no idea what she is saying! Even Allen didn't know because she uses the Shaoxing Dialect.! Funny!Mike is doing really well, he is really really really bored though! only 8 more days!

Holy Cow! 10 days in the hospital for pneumonia?! China really IS a third world country. :( Hope he gets feeling better soon and that he doesn't get poked by the mean nurse any more.
Love the blanket, Katie. You were nice to let Michael borrow it. So sorry Michael. Doesn't look fun at all. Maybe he will get out early on good behavior??
Pneumonia is no good...I hope he feels better soon. My friend got it here and had to stay in bed for a week!! Feel better!
man Sorry Michael! Feel better asap! No fun, i hate hospitals.
10 days? That is pretty funny. Hope he gets feeling better soon :)
How awful! Good luck and get better quickly!
