Day 6 in Lanzhou


 Pretty quiet day today. We ate breakfast by ourselves as our friends had to take Anthony back to the hospital to have his toe worked on. They were gone most of the day, so we didn't do much. Hung out at the hotel and got Claire a nap later in the afternoon. We checked up on our firends a couple of times to make sure that everything was going ok and it was. They ended up not cutting on the toenail, and lanced the pocket and drained the infection, but then kept them to run antibiotics through an IV...3 bags. Jeesh! The down time was a good opportunity for a photo op of little Claire. Daddy played with some settings on the camera. When the Pellegrinos's got back, the dad's made the couple of block trek to the Pizza Hut again. Yum! We may have then journeyed down to the lobby and purchased little cups of Hagen Daz(sp?) ice cream.
 
Little Claire continues to make make improvements. She did quite a bit of standing today and took a few more steps while holding on to momma. We got some more laughs out of her and she continues to play more with her toys. Just as I have been praying, daily progress.
 
Now early to bed. We didn't get much sleep last night. We have another down day tomorrow and the Pellegrino's have to take Anthony back for a second round of IV antibiotics in the morning.
