Guangzhou & Tupelo's Medical Examination

The scene here is interesting and hectic. The adopted children are seen by a series of doctors in different specialties: general medicine; weight & height; ear, nose, and throat; and lastly the injection room. Tupelo received 6 vaccinations (and thankfully did not have any negative reactions, injection-site pain, or run a high fever). She does not have any ear infection (which is fabulous for a cleft-affected child). The doctors nibbled and cuddled her, and were so pleased with her girth. She weighed in at a whopping 21 pounds.
