Our last day in the hospital

Answers to mom’s questions: Yes it is really bubble wrap and no it is not sterile. Blankets are not sterile when they use them on newborns, so it is really kind of the same concept. They also use saran wrap to put over the tops of the warmers because they do not have enough isolates. It keeps the air from blowing over the top of them. PT is physical therapy.

The fashion show was a lot of fun. They had a Indian wear, Western wear, Talent, and answer question round. The saris were beautiful, but the western wear made us all laugh immensely. They had such ridiculous things that they thought were western. There were even a few short skirts with wrap up sandals. For the talent portion there were five dances and two songs. The dances were all Bollywood style, but the songs were lovely. Leslie did a great job judging, but there were two Indian judges that overruled everything that she wanted. I think she decided that it would have been a lot more fun to just watch the show.

After that we went to an international meeting. They had a speaker that knew the woman that started this hospital so she talked a little about that. Then they had some garland makers come in and talk about what the different garlands mean and let us try to make them. It was really hard, but the men that do it all the time were fun to watch. They also told us that there are 64 talents that they use to make money in India. Garland making is one of them, so if we can learn that there are only 63 to go. I have no idea what the others are…that is just what they say. It was a good night though. We didn’t get to see the Super Bowl after all. That’s okay ….always next year. I am not sure what the next few days hold for us….I will be sure to let you guys know though. We are starting to get a little worn out, but are still looking forward to what lies ahead! Pondicherry on Friday for sure…other than that we do not know.
