A Gem of a Day!

Amidst all the chemotherapy, stem cell transplants, tracking cancer numbers....there is a gem in this for all of us. Her name is Ruby Carroll Brabbs and she was born today around 12:15pm, weighing 8 lbs 10oz and 21 inches long.



This is such a special moment for us because with only two months before we decided to start chemotherapy to dominate my Multiple Myeloma, which will inevitably make me sterile, we decided to roll the dice and see if the Guy upstairs had a blessing in store for us hidden behind all these dark and gloomy cancer clouds.

Some people say cancer is a gift. I am not sure exactly how I feel about that quite yet, but I can definitely say it helped forge a gem of a girl today and we will be forever grateful. Ruby is our hope and trust that life goes on after cancer, chemotherapy and stem cell transplants. Every child is a miracle and this one is no different....and extra precious to us in light of the circumstances.
