stevebeilgard Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 i dunno. best chinese food in the world and you're eating pizza and hamburgers..... enjoy your last few days. i don't envy the ride home. but, don't worry. the pilot will make sure the tanks are topped off. if the plane goes down, he's the 1st to die.... it might be different if he were flying by remote controll.

jbeck Posted January 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 BAD NEWS!!!! Ok folks the best way to put this is that we had a child in our group come down with chicken pox early in the trip. We had all the children vacinated and checked 1 week later as recomended by our US consolant. Well the CDC ( cener for disease control) got wind of this and shut us down. As of right now we have to be checked by the consolant doctors before we can get on a plane for home. We are supposed to leave China today to go to Hong Kong, but We don't know if we can be checked by the doctors before we have our visa meeting at the consolant. Right now as it stands, we are not allowed on a plane to home. I'll keep you posted on wether they decide to leave us out Today or Not. It is 11:00 am. here, and our consolant appt. is at 3:00 pm. things need to get done fast or we're going to miss our flight home and be held up here for a couple more days. Keep us in your prayers, We haven't told our daughter Carlee back in the states that we might not be home Friday, it will not be good for her or us. If anyone on here is in charge of the CDC, see what you can do. LOL Please keep in mind this is our government, not China's. As far as China is concerned we have the vacination and have been checked 1 week later, we are cleared for travel. Keep us in your prayers, I really want to go home. Mommy ain't taking this to good. Love from china Jeff Jill and Cadee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VermontHunter Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 Why on Gods green earth did the CDC wait until the last minute on this ... :confused: Mute, question I guess ... I understand your frustration.. Will be praying for a quick resolution for ya .. HANG IN THERE !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbeck Posted January 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 OK, The CDC agreed to allow a panel of doctors check the children before flying out. We just got back from the doctors office and all the kids are cleared for travel. Now it's up to the consolant, they said they would issue the visas if the doctors cleared the kids. I'm hoping, but it looks good for travel to Hong Kong today, and then on to USA on Friday. If I'm stuck in China I will be posting later today, If not I'll try to Post from Hong Kong. If you don't hear from me that means I'm probably on the way home. I don't know if I'll have time to post when I get to Hong Kong. I must admit, when we got the email I almost broke down. I've been being strong for my wife and girls for a month now and the chance of not being home on friday to hold my 5 year old tore me up. we were in the doctors office when we got the email on Tereks cell phone. Terek is a lawyer with a para legal that has been feeding him Info. They said the visas will be issued today if there are no signs of chicken pox. All children have been cleared for travel tomorrow, now it's up to the consolant to issue visa's and the CDC to allow travel. It looks like this will be my last post from China, I will have to add that the Chinese officials and doctors have gone out of there way to aid us in any way. I'm hoping our official in the US have the same compation for our situation. Keep praying, I know I am. And I look forward to letting you all know we are home. We should arrive home on Friday around 8 pm. I probably won't post until Saturday. God Bless, Jeff Jill and Cadee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
