First half of Day 4: Today I saw Tian Ci again and we played with a football and played games with the mirror. I learned that in addition to a cleft palate he has a cleft lip that has been repaired. I also learned that his birthday is 5 days away from my sister’s. As we played with the football I saw the most amazing phenomenon of the trip. A 4 year old girl named Tian Hui with a spinal disease that gives her in turned feet walked to a chair and hoisted herself onto it after months of physical therapy. As I learned from Sarah, our volunteer coordinator, she needs new leg braces to expedite the process which only costs $950. every time I go into Bch 3 is see her playing on the window sill and then jumping onto the carpet in front of the wall sized mirror. This afternoon I will bring Tian Ci and company my red sox hat to play with.
