Nate refusing to take medicine:
If you remember on one of my last posts I mentioned that Nate had fever. Well on Saturday, he again broke out with a fever. But this time his fever was accompanied with a rash on his hands and cold sores in his mouth. So I carried him to the doctor just to make sure it wasn't anything serious. It was the first time that I had been to Beijing United Family Hospital. Overall I was very impressed with the service. There are many insurance companies with which they are able to do direct billing through, IMG being one of them. Aside from the ease of pay I also like the fact that they had a children's movie playing in the main waiting room and also in the doctor's office itself. This was especially helpful seeing how we had to wait an excessively long time. Really, I'm serious, it was a LONGGGG time. Let's just say that Nate and I were able to watch Toy Story 2 in its entirety, and then were able to watch about half of Buzz Lightyear Star Command. Although the wait was a little on the long side it sure beats going to a Chinese hospital. The Insider's Guide to Beijing once again proved to be an invaluable guide to just about everything you need to know in Beijing. If you're thinking about moving to Beijing I would definitely recommend you buy this book!
Anyway, enough with the commercials. After drawing blood the doctor concluded that it was either a viral infection or something called Kawasaki Disease. No, Kawasaki disease isn't an over-obsessed passion for motorcycles, it is a rare disease that if left untreated affects the heart. The doctor informed me that this disease can't really be diagnosed until after the fifth day of sickness, this was Nate's fourth day. So he instructed us to return home and give Nate Tylenol for his fever. If he still had a fever on Monday then we were told to return and they would do some more testing on his blood and proceed from there. Fortunately, he seemed to be doing much better on Sunday. And I think by Monday he was back to normal, I say this because by Monday he and Noah were back to fighting as usual! So I don't guess Nate had that motorcycle disease after all.
Jenni finally sold her keyboard that was in the states; so right now she's off looking for one to buy here in Beijing so that she can practice for BICF services, which by the way we are leading this coming Sunday. The boys are both sleeping right now, apparently exhausted from drawing on the ceiling earlier this morning! I was able to get away this morning to do some studying and hopefully the boys will stay asleep long enough for me to get a little more in this afternoon! It looks like our week is filling up. So I'll try to post when I have a little spare time. But I can't promise anything.

Oh yeah, in case you missed it, here are all the video from the DGM conference
