Monday's appointments all went well. This next Monday we will have an ultrasound, 38 weeks, whoa. Sophia got her last Rabies shot, this time we gave her tylenol and just to be sure the doctor wanted us to give her some benadryl type stuff just in case her high fever last time had something to do with the shot. We gave her one dose of each, and all was fine. she whimpered for about two seconds during the shot and then was fine.
David saw the same cardiologist that tended him when he was in the coronary care unit, and all looks great there as well! No need for another heart monitor, but still staying on a low dose of meds.
And the Chinese tutor? I will say I expected to be disappointed, not thinking that anyone could top the time she spends with xiao chen. But this girl is very good, she brings things that do help her 'teach' although they are really playing, she talks to her the whole time saying what she is doing and she is very animated, I hear Sophia laughing quite a bit! Yesterday she brought stickers of different appliances, washing machine, refrigerator, etc. then all in Chinese asked Sophia where they were, etc. It was very effective as she learned what it was the teacher was talking about! This is TPR (total physical response) language learning at its best. I think this will be so helpful, so we are going through with it! She is scheduled for four days a week until who knows when???? It may just be a few weeks until the baby comes or we may try to keep going until we leave, we will see what our schedules look like then!
