Sorry for the delay in posting pictures. It's been a bit rough the last couple of days.
Neela is beautiful! Problems we've been having is with feeding her. She has eaten nothing and has drank just enough to keep thirst down.
Since she had been in a body cast for 6 months, apparently she did not have much stimulation so she is quite delayed physically and mentally. She does not babble yet. She also just finished a course of IV antibiotics for broncitus (which is not totally cleared yet).
She is in a brace that will be required for approx another 30 days for her hips.
Yesterday we got to spend the day in the Nanjing Children's Hospital for some additional evaluations.
Hopefully today we'll have more success feeding her. Yesterday she had big strides in interacting, playing and some giggles.

Love, Betsy, Tim & kids
She is beautiful. You guys look happy. I am sure that Mia will have her giggling in no time! I know she is good at it! I can't wait to see you guys all together. Enjoy your time there in China - and see if Mia has any skills at Olympic pillow fighting, looks like she's got bed jumping perfected.
What a beautiful family!!! It must feel so good to have her in your arms and begin the work of bonding together. I know her eating will improve and with the wonderful parents you are, Neela will catch up in no time. Zoe says Neela is a cutiepie. Hugs to all!
Susan, Rob, and Zoe
