More Pictures

Here is a picture of the boys. Nieman is the one on the far right. He has on the yellow shorts and the Power Rangers tank top.

Here is one where Ms. Lam asked what Nieman was doing when he pulled up his shirt and pointed to his belly and smiled.

New Pictures

While Keith has been in Vietnam trying to fix our mess, he took many pictures of the children and the new Center. The children and the staff moved to a new location. They said the rooms are bigger and have 3 different rooms for all the children. After visiting the children this is what they said about Nieman.

Active boy, often play w/ Diep, Lan, Nghi, Ho… The Vice Director, Ms. Quyen likes him very much. Whenever Ms. Quyen's daughter comes to the CCC, she often brings Son Nhi to Ms. Quyen's room, fed him and let him sleep there. I took one picture when he was sleeping in Ms. Quyen's room at the CCC. In one picture that I'll send you, he turned his T-shirt and touch his belly-button, and when I called and asked "what you're doing?", then he smiled!

Here are some of the pictures they sent.

I'll post more tomorrow cause this program is making me mad.

How's it going

People keep asking about the acupuncture. It's really made an improvement in my neck and shoulders. The pain and tightness are gone. My sleep is improving. I find it easier to fall asleep but I still have problems staying asleep. This, of course, depends on my cat's mood. She loves to step on my pillow and hair to wake me up at night. I can't figure out why, most times, so I've been ignoring her. This does not satisfy her and she continues to step all over me. I love her but I will never get another cat when she passes away.

The infertility has yet to be broken, however, I did notice additional pain for several days relating to ovulation. Of course, I will let everyone know if it works. I'm down to seeing the Dr every two weeks. He made sure to focus on the infertility the last two times I went. I keep thinking positive thoughts and hope for the best.

Update on Nieman: Not much to say. There are several waiting parents that have taken an active role in getting the attention of Senators and Hilary Clinton. I'm very grateful for all their efforts. We plan on send a letter to Hilary and our Senators to try to raise awareness. Keith, the agency's CEO, is in Vietnam now trying his best to move things forward. We still hope everyday to get Nieman home and at some point depending on how things progress we will make a decision on what is best for us. I do expect new pictures soon and I will post them as soon as I get them.
