Hong Kong - Dec 22
Well, we began this morning with a bang -- or really a bump. Joshua fell out of the bed. He hit pretty hard and he's banged up; his lip is swollen and his cheek is bruised. He cried for about 10 minutes and then was acting like he wanted to go to sleep, which concerned David so we called Miranda to ask about talking to a doctor. I only talked to Miranda's daughter who gave me a telephone number; then I called the doctor's office but had only limited success speaking with the woman who answered the phone. Apparently Miranda called someone, though, because the next thing we knew our doorbell rang and two women were here to see what happened. Then they called an ambulance -- we protested and said we didn't think it was necessary, but they insisted, and about 5 minutes later a medical team was here checking him out. We believe, and even they said -- keeping in mind they've never seen Joshua before, so they don't know his "normal," -- that he's fine, but just wanted to be sure. So now David and Joshua are off to the hospital, and Jayden and I are here. I was very impressed with how quickly the medical team arrived and they seemed very professional and prepared. I'm not worried, so please don't be! Do pray for him, but don't worry. I think he's bruised up but fine. I'll keep you posted.
