A New Home for Medically Fragile Babies
Part One - Training and Planning
Part Three - The Babies Arrive!
Within two hours of the children's arrival, we had our first emergency. The stress of the ride to the China Care Home was too much for one little guy. He began struggling for breath. It soon became clear he was suffering from pneumonia, as was another little newcomer. Pneumonia is all too common in such vulnerable babies whose immune systems are compromised by their medical conditions.

Medical case coordinator Fu Li contacts the hospital to see if there are beds for the two babies. Driver Yu stands by with supplies needed for a hospital stay.

That night and every day after, every single child at the China Care Home receives a thorough checkup. Medical Director, Dr. Tan and the nurses institute new policies to bring all of the children to optimum health, eliminating all the little bugs that keep them from getting the surgeries they urgently need.

Finally, life begins to take on its own rhythm for the new residents of the China Care Home. For as long as they will live here, they know they are loved, looked after, and they are home.
