Today was the day! Channing walked into the orphanage in Tokmok and Lana recognized her right away. Seems like Lana has been gaining weight since we first met her. A good sign. After the traditional celebration with the Director and caregivers, and after a car ride back to Bishkek, the two of them settled down to some serious playing at the Inn.
Luba, Quint and I called them and tried to talk with Channing, while we could hear Lana in the background banging blocks together. We even traded Russian baby words with Lana. As we said goodbye, Channing said that Lana was rubbing her eyes and asking to be held. Another good sign. Maybe the two of them will get a little well-needed rest.
