I wondered if I should include this since it is not about the pregnancy but I believe it to be a very important part of our journey.
The day after we found out we were having a child, Danielle's mom, Paula, received news that a a test she had taken also came back positive, but this is not the news anyone wants to hear. She was diagnosed with a very aggressive form of breast cancer and would immediately start undergoing the treatment in order to defeat it.
This must be how a manic depressive person must feel. Awesome high, walking on air, then suddenly a hard blow to your core, taking you back a step.
Danielle is an incredibly strong woman, sometimes too strong for her own good, but she learned it all from her mother. She will be there for her mom, standing strong by her side and coaching her through this, and she'll be there for Danielle as well.
Paula is a true treasure to our family and we appreciate all she does with and for us. We love her very much and will do anything and everything to help make sure she defeats this.
