Question #24

Question #24:  In the beginning, you mentioned that N might have some health concerns.  Are those still an issue?


Yes, those health concerns are still an issue.

I'm not really going to go into detail, but basically, J has been on medicine that was given to her by her doctor while being pregnant with N.  N has the chance (a high chance) of being addicted to this drug after he is born.

Basically what will happen is that the doctors and nurses know about this possible addiction.  When N is born, they will watch him for signs of going through withdrawal.  If he does have these symptoms, he will basically spend extra time in the hospital until those symptoms are not present any longer.

This was part of our decision when we decided to move forward with this adoption. We've done a lot of research and talked with some people who could give us their honest knowledgeable opinion.  This addiction is not something that causes long term effects or concerns and because of that, we decided to move forward.

Today's Prayer:  We are actually taking some things over to J today and I pray that again, everything will be positive and encouraging.  I don't expect anything different, but it's always nice knowing that you guys are praying even before it takes place.

I think I'm officially out of questions!!!!!  If you have anything you want to know, just let me know.  :)
