Keai is going home (Yippee!)

I got the following email from the folks at Heart Gift.... Good news for my little Chinese friend. I am just sad that I was not able to be the one to take him home, but he will be in good hands I am sure.

"Keai had an appointment with Dr. Wright yesterday, and he has been released to go home. He will remain on lasix for several months, but will have plenty of medication to take home with him when he returns to China.

Many of us have become very attached to young Keai, as he has been here for quite a while, and has been somewhat of a celebrity while in Austin. So, it is with a heavy heart that we will send him on his way next week. He will most likely leave on the 23rd or 24th. We are waiting for an American Airlines escort to determine which day he will travel, and then we will let you know when he will embark on his long journey back to China, with a suitcase full of Happy Meal trinkets and a lifetime’s worth of memories."
