Whoa...
Today was a train wreck....for me anyway. Although it started out ok...
It was extremely HOT...I took plenty of water for all of us. We went to Tian men Square and the Forbidden City. I was enjoying it until the heat hit me like a Mac truck. I was dizzy, nauseous, and miserable. Everyone was hot but it wreaked havoc on me. I had to stop several times and sit down. I tried to push myself but I just couldn't. After what felt like forever, we made it to the bus.
Here's where the train wreck started. On the bus, I thought I'd pass out. I was shaking and my head was pounding. Luckily, Bart, one of the dads in our group helped through it. He is an anesthesiologist and talked me through. Thankfully---SO THANKFULLY, he and Alex nursed me back to life. He had me lay on the chair and put my feet up....then along came Miss Congeniality from the lobby and told him I may NOT sleep there. He told her I WASN'T sleeping and she looked agitated. I tried to get up and I threw up all over her fancy-schmancy chair in the lobby. AND IN BART'S PRECIOUS DAUGHTER's HAT!!! ARGHHHH.....Nice....He helps me feel better and I puke in his daughter's sun hat (which is soaking in the sink as we speak).I will send that one out for cleaning...
How was Jace in all this? FINE!! Laughing in the lobby, playing with Alex who was right by my side nursing me too!! Putting cold water on my neck, back and head. Poor thing. She must've been so scared!
Bart got us back to the room, gave me some Gatorade and well wishes. I laid down for awhile, took a shower ,then a nap with Alex and Jace. All is well now.
Those of you that know me--know that I am a normally a strong person. What happened to me today? This trip? I am falling apart! But I DO feel the prayers...keep them coming...PLEASE!!!
I leave you with a video I took after our nap. We taught Jace the sign for 'candy'...He is so precious!!!
Love!!!! Kisses from Beijing...
