This little sweetie who laughs and runs around the house and tends to not want to eat large quantities of food has a parasite called Giardia. It's common in parts of the world where they don't have a clean water supply. So, we're onto drug #2 which will prayerfully get rid of the latest creepy crawly. I can't wait to see what she's like when she feels good!
On other thoughts...as I was tickling Amanda and hearing her little laugh, I felt a little sad for another mother who will never know her daughter and that little laugh. For the loss of the other mother who will never be able to say, "she looks just like______". I wonder, does she look more like her mom or dad? What will that look like when she grows up? Did her Chinese mom sing to her when she was pregnant? Did she have hopes and dreams for her child? What were all the emotions surrounding her birth when the cleft lip/ cleft palate was discovered? All those little questions that have no answers. I hope and pray that the people who gave her life also know the One who gives eternal life because then someday, I will be able to introduce Amanda to the parents who cared enough to give her life and to leave her someplace she would be found. Now THAT will be a celebration worth seeing.
Welcome home Amanda, welcome home.
