 I made a quick visit this afternoon to the hospital to catch up with the kids in the hospital. I don't have many details today, but I want to introduce a few new children and update you on the others.

There were three new children who had entered the hospital while I was away on my trip to the country. Here's Yuer (154 ), whom we found roaming the halls on his grandmas' back. He's extremely kind and well-behaved, and he greeted us cheerily. His surgery is scheduled for Thursday.

Jiale (W3 ) was a little more mischievous. He revealed the paper airplanes that he kept stashed below his blanket. They didn't fly very well, but he was nevertheless eager to show them off. From what I heard, his disease is especially severe, so they're still figuring out his surgery and won't be until next week at least.

Little Hao (W50 小浩) was sleeping when we entered. I hope to get to know him better next time I come. He's scheduled to have surgery next Monday.

There were also two more kids whom we've already met. Little Ji  (153 小吉) was quiet, calmly resting and recovering from surgery.

Meanwhile, Xiaorui (141 小蕊) is still in the hospital. From what I picked up (and this might not be accurate, so please wait for updaes): There's a possibility of her getting another surgery to take the water out of her lungs, but it's very risky. She's eating better, but it will take a while for her to completely recover.

I gave all of them mooncakes to celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival! Happy Zhong Qiu Jie!

Since I was gone for a while I missed Huier (152 慧儿), Xiaoqi (151 小琪), and Yanzi (150 燕子) before they left. Hopefully they found a safe journey home. I wish them the best!
