I just love your blog, and I hope that you don't have to take the "green" pill for much longer. I can empathize only with the kids and husband part. Last weekend I was completely incapacited with a violent reaction to antibiotics and could not get out of bed for 2 days. I could hear my kids and husband the entire time but felt so helpless, and they girls really handled it well, but once I was better they were very clingy to me. It made me think about mothers such as yourself, that are dealing with cancer or other serious illnesses for weeks, months, or years and not be able to care for their children for long stretches of time. Hugs to you!

You are amazing!

Our youngest daughter is adopted from Ethiopia, and I noticed that your baby may be internationally adopted as well? Or domestically? Either way your family is beautiful.

Have a wonderful day!

I'm a new follower and I just wanted to say you'll be in my thoughts. May the green pill work wonders!

First of all, good luck with your green pills. Hope all goes well.

When I clicked on your link to "this post" that you wanted to comment on, I just scrolled down and the comment box was there. Maybe you just need to try again?

Take care of yourself and get the rest you need. Your bedroom sounds fabulous! All your answers are interesting.

I hope everything goes well with the "green pill" treatment and that you'll get lots of reading done!

Thanks for the encouraging words, everybody! I'm less anxious about the radiation stuff this time as I've been through it before, but I still feel badly about making my family go through it :( I will definitely make the most of my downtime - it will be all about resting and reading (mostly reading).

To answer your question, Lisa - We actually adopted our daughter here in the U.S. Her birth father is African American and her birth mother is Caucasian, so she has gorgeous skin and the cutest curls you ever did see. I'm still trying to figure out what to do with them! Any advice?

Hope everything goes smoothly for you (and your family) this time around. Radioactiveness does sound pretty cool.

So I know this is kind of after the fact, but I realized the "this post" you mentioned is one of my posts and I'm flattered you wanted to comment and sad you weren't able to. Thank you for the link!

Second I hope all is going well with you health-wise and you're no longer radioactive, which actually sounds pretty cool in super hero world but less exciting in the real one.

Red - Thanks for stopping by! I can't for the life of me figure out how to comment on your blog. I can't see other people's comments on there either. It's really weird. Maybe it has to do with pop-up blockers? I don't know.

Anyway, I was just going to comment about Jimmy Eat World. They're from the city I live in - my husband actually went to high school with some of the band members. I'm not quite that cool, but I was wondering about the song you mentioned - did you know that Sky Harbor is the name of the airport in Phoenix?

Yeah, so that was my brilliant comment. I feel kinda dumb now.

That's super exciting that Jimmy Eat World is from your town AND that your husband went to HS with some of them. I'm not surprised that Sky Harbor is the name of the airport. I think (but can't actually remember) if that was the airport where the characters are at the end of A Prayer for Owen Meany.

Also I'm not sure what's keeping you from commenting but I'm going to try to figure it out! I'm using Intense Debate so once you click on the post title you should see the commenting options at the bottom of the page. I'll see if a pop-up blocker or some browser setting would keep that from working.
