Dr. Ngan and family visited our ex-COO patients in New Hope in Beijing mid-October 2010.  The children are doing great, and shortly after this, Bao Yi was picked up by her new parents and are now living in the United States.  Qiao Qiao, the girl with retinoblastoma is in the US with her parents.  Ben Sheng Gen has been placed in a boys' home waiting for his adoption.


     



     



  

When one-year-old Miao Miao first came to Hong Kong in Dec 2007 for investigation of her cyclical vomiting syndrome, she weighed only 20 pounds (weight of an infant).  Investigation did not show any abnormality, so doctors decided to put a catheter in her to enhance her feeding capability.  Although she still suffers from her cyclical vomiting syndrome, she was able to feed well, and she gradually gained weight.  Her vomiting is now less frequent, and we recently received news from New Hope Foundation that she  has been adopted and is on her way to the U.S.  We wish her and her new family all the best.

Miao Miao's parents sent over some updated pictures of her in her new home in January.  What a happy child she is!!
                                                              

Gabriel is now Gustav Carstensen and is living in Denmark. Here is news from his adoptive parents:
Gustav has 3 grandparents (one grandfather and two grandmothers). He has two uncles and three cousins.

We are now living on a small (former) farm on Djursland, the nose of Jutland. Our son is a very happy, charming, bright, lovely and funny boy. We love him dearly. He love his big sister. They are having a great time playing together. We have two horses and Gustav love riding them. He's laughs a lot doing that. We have a cat too and Gustav loves playing with it. He still loves reading books and he loves cars and tractors. He gives a lot of kisses and hugs. He is walking around, and he can walk very fast, but not run. We are going to the doctor in January. We hope they can do something to his feet, so he will be able to walk a little better. At the moment he is swimming once a week, and is loving it.

Lars is Vice Dean in a college and Tine is cleaning lady.

Ida Tao is the name of his big sister. She is 9 month older then Gustav. So they are very close. She is a very lovely girl and very smart (like her brother), loves to help Gustav, and plays with him. They already love each other very much. It's so great! She came to Denmark 10 month old.

Gustav (as of Oct 2010):
