CHAPTER FOURTEEN

China, DAY 4, 4/6/14

Dear Diary,

I’m worried about Mei Lin. She woke up in the middle of the night with a fever and she threw up all over the place. I had a hard time going back to sleep even after she settled down. What would happen if she got really sick and had to go to the hospital? How could we help her if we couldn’t understand what the doctors were saying?

Here’s something else I’m worried about: Mei Lin is so tiny and maybe she’s not strong enough to fight off infections. She only weighs SIXTEEN AND A HALF pounds, which is the size of a seven-month-old, not the size of an eighteen-month-old. I know because I looked it up just now and that’s what I found out and it’s the truth.

This morning her fever’s gone, and Mom and Dad seem to think it was just a cold and she’ll be okay. I never thought about it before, but it must be tough to be a parent and try not to worry about all the things that could go wrong with your baby.

Well we’re off to the orphanage today! I was hoping we’d skip the trip because it sounds like another boring day. How will I ever find any good photos for Plan B of the contest if we spend all our time in government buildings?

Love,

Emily

(whose sister is hopefully not sick anymore)
