China Adventure Day 11

Dan woke up not feeling well again this morning, so we decided to skip our touring for the morning. Dan slept most of the day while Selah and I played and tried out the pool. She liked slapping her hands on the water at the edge, but she was really scared when I got in with her.  She was really cute discovering the water for the first time, though!
 
Dan being sick is really hard for him (because, well, he’s sick), it’s hard for me because it means I am taking care of Selah by myself, and it’s hard for Selah because she’s not bonding with him as well. Since Dan has been sick, she’ll only let me hold her at night, which is now a couple of hours of pacing back in forth in the room until she feels comfortable enough to fall asleep, and then about 30 minutes of the same thing until she is in a deep enough sleep to transfer to the bed. She was up scared at 4 am this morning, too, so I had to do the pacing thing for a while again. I am absolutely exhausted.
 
A lot of people in our group are feeling sick, whether it be from food or sicknesses. Please pray that they will all feel better to finish out the trip and return home! All of the couples here are amazing, and we are so blessed to have them along with our family and friends back home as a support system during the hardest two weeks of our lives. Thank you for your prayers!
