...too soon.

I spoke too soon, that is. How I wish I could figure this chemo out - it's been extremely frustrating, to say the least. Last time I posted, I was feeling OK. But the days since have been up and down... I don't know why the nausea is lingering so long. I wonder if it's something I'm eating or perhaps something (some nutrient, vitamin or mineral) that I'm missing? Or is it just that the chemo is lingering longer in my body? I had a substitute doctor last visit and he wasn't any help when I mentioned that I felt sick for so long. Thank goodness I get an extra week off during the Christmas holidays so I can regain my strength!

Anyways,,, enough about that. I want to share about my on-line friend, Nicole. I have mentioned her before. She has a daughter with T21 - which is how I met her. She is also blessed with 3 other daughters and a wonderful husband. Very recently, a family in her area had a baby girl born with Down syndrome. This family feels unable to care for this little girl and will be giving her up for adoption. After a lot of prayer and deep consideration, it appears Nicole and her husband will be adopting this little one. I am so so happy for them. Since I have known Nicole (5.5 years ago!), she has talked about perhaps adopting another child with T21 "someday". Well, it appears that someday is here.
