So I am catching up on my blog posts. Most of you already know all this but I am doing this for my eventual Blog Book so you can choose to ignore the 'old' news.
Fiona broke her arm on June 17, 2011 by falling off the slide in our playground. I rushed her to the ER where they quickly informed me it was a bad break so they recommended she be flown to Hong Kong for the surgery. It took a while to understand why we couldn't just have it done in Beijing but after talking to several Chinese and Western doctors, it was explained. It probably would be fine in mainland China but if something were to go wrong under general anesthesia, they did not feel confident in the emergency response. With doctors not speaking the same language and add a patient and parents who don't speak the local language, things could go wrong.
