Parents Visiting Seattle -- Part 3

After two weeks in Seattle, my parents and I went to Honolulu on November 4th.





The weather was very nice in Honolulu. However, due to the low immune system of her body, my mother suddenly developed an illness which causes her immense pain. Except for the first day, my mother spent most the time in the hotel room. The foreign language and the unfamiliar medical system made things even more difficult for my mother. Thankfully, my mother is a doctor herself and she diagnosed what illness she was having. The doctor's visit on Sunday (November 7th) in Honolulu just confirmed her diagnosis. In addition to see a doctor on Sunday and request wheel chair assistance at the airports, my parents had to shorten their US visit.





My parents went back last Wednesday. Right after they arrived in Zhongshan, they went to see a doctor again. My mother is taking medications and receiving treatments. Even though it might take some time for my mother to fully recover, things are under control.

I'll remember to buy medical insurance for my parents when they visit me next time.

Parents Visiting Seattle -- Part 2

The second weekend of my parents' visit, I had to travel to Canada for a few days. My parents were left alone in Seattle. They told me that they went to Woodland Park.



When I came back, it was a couple days before Halloween. My mother and I did pumpkin carving. My mother enjoyed it.





On October 30th, we went to watch a UW football game. Even though UW lost to Stanford 0 to 41, we had a lot of fun.





On Sunday (October 31st), we went to Museum of Flight with two of my friends.
