Sweet Sienna
Sienna has improved Praise the Lord!
Here is an update I got from Diana late last night...
We did go to the Children's Hospital, and we left as fast as we arrived. It was like a Mash Unit! Our wait would have been 1/2 a day in an outdoor waiting area as big as a football field. Literally, people everywhere, very sick people. There was no way that Sienna was going there!
Prior to leaving for the hospital, Sienna was very sick unable to keep any fluids in here. Upon returning she finally drank some Sprite and it has stayed down. We just heard her first words of the day, "Jie Jie!" Two good signs!!!!
Here is what we need.. We are going to request that the American Consulate expedite Sienna's visa so we can fly home Wednesday night! Please pray that we can get this done!!! We know it is possible with a medical concern!
Praying for more good news soon, so we can get Sienna to a "real" doctor!
Blessings,
Diana
This morning, Diana says that Sienna is perking up and showing more of her spunky personality.
She wrote,
She had a great burst of energy and we saw a little of Miss S again. I will say the benefit of her being so sick was getting to love on her.. Jeff too.
It is still their hope to get an expedited visa so that Sienna can get care here in the US as soon as possible for her long term medical issue. Thank you so much for your faithful prayers. You can see more on the travel site.

UPDATE
Sienna woke up after a fairly good night of sleep with her lowest fever so far of 101.5! Praise the Lord. We are now dealing with a little girl who is run down, and is unable to keep anything in her tummy. And, she is refusing liquids other than a sip of sprite so far. We are waiting for our guide where we will be taking her back to the American Clinic for an evaluation. Our assumption is we will be seeing the walls of a hospital in China today. Unfortunately, due to her Thalassemia our fear is that her oxygen levels are low from her high fever. This truly is your worst nightmare as an adoptive parent in China waiting to go home. But, we know that we have to do what is right for Sienna.
She continues to be a brave little girl with an inner-strength that one can't help but be in awe of.
We will not lose hope, but cling to God's promise to love an protect us all. Thank you for interceding on our behalf! I will get back to Kim when I can."
"For I am the LORD, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you." Isa 41:13

Sienna's Salon & Spa at OneTrueMedia.com
We believe Sienna watched someone do hair where she came from. She loves to comb her Jie Jie's hair and style it in a Pony Tail. Precious bonding for these two sisters yesterday.
Sienna's Medical Exam
Thank you to all of you prayer warriors for lifting up Sienna today. The medical exam was very difficult, and she was amazing. God, once again, took over the steering wheel. Sienna has been blessed with an inner strength and stubbornness that has allowed her to survive in tough conditions, with a challenging medical condition. When I think about it, she is truly a miracle. Protected for great things, I believe! We are praying that God will break down the walls so she knows and she truly understands we love her. We are not leaving, and we will take care of her. It was a privilege to be her parents today!
We are tired, and we miss Ruby terribly. But, we know that it is so important to take the next six days in China to bond with our new daughter!
I have posted about our day at the Medical Exam on our travel site.
Blessings,
Diana

In Guangzhou!
Diana let me know they are safely in Guangzhou and on their way to the White Swan. Apparently, Sienna Grace is a "rock-star traveller!" That is good. Once again, God knew exactly which family she belonged to:)
P.S. There will be a special post later today.
