Back Home

We are very happy to be home. Unfortunately our trip home was a little tough. We left Guangzhou at 10:30 for a short 45 min flight to Hong Kong. Once we finished all of the customs processing we boarded a packed 747 for what was scheduled to be a 12 hr flight to San Francisco. Just as we were about to take the runway for takeoff, someone on the left side of the airplane notice fuel pouring out of the left wing. Needless to say we taxied back to the gate to have engineers look at the issue. Unfortunately instead of let us off the airplane once they found the issue, they kept us on board for 4.5 hrs. Considering the situation Kylee did great, but it was brutal for Monica and I because we are still not healthy. Setting in coach in a packed airplane for 12 hrs is one thing but for 16, was off the charts.
Because of the delays we missed our connecting flight to Denver, so by the time we got re-booked and processed through security we had lost half a day. We landed in Denver late in the evening and did not get home until 11:30 Sat night.
Today has just been spent, unpacking and helping Kylee adjust to her new surroundings. Since we have been here less than 24 hrs it's really hard to say how she is taking it all in, but the initial reactions are very positive. She is truly a resilient little girl and we feel so lucky to finally have her home.

I will post more pictures and updates in the days to come as she adjusts to her new life.
