Chemo Day Two

It is absolutely wonderful to report that NOTHING of major note medically happened today!

Rebekah is tolerating day two of her Chemo very very well. So far she has no noticable effect and, other than being a little bit cranky with cabin fever, is her same old self.

Grandma C showed up very early, before work here in the hospital and brought real food, cheese and YOgurt, both Rebekah's favorites. Then mid morning Grandma A showed up and towed Rebekah in a wagon all around the hospital all day. Quite a sight with Grandma towing the wagon with Rebekah inside on blankets and an IV Pole tied to the rear axel of the wagon dragging behind them. Rebekah LOVES it. Anyone who wants to come tow Rebekah around the hospital can do so anytime. Then Grandma M showed up and helped us through the evening and is actually sleeping in the room with Rebekah while Frances, Sarah and I sleep out in the trailer in the parking lot. What a day with ALL THREE GRANDMAS!!!!!

Our friends Greg and Christine brought us dinner and played with both girls for a while. This was totally awesome and really appreciated.

Detailed results of the PET scan and MRI were both available today with nothing new. The hospital is providing speech and physical therapy when we are here. Hollywood Video donated an awesome theater room. And the nurses were all really really cool.

Like I said nothing real exciting which makes it as very best a day as we could ever imagine in this situation.

Dearest Rebekah,
What a difference each new day can make. A few days ago your DaDa wrote about a long day of utter frustration. The next day he gave a sense of fear and fright of the unknowns ahead. Thankfully, the next day brought a peacefulness through many answered prayers as it went so well for you, DaDa & MaMa, Sarah, all three of your wonderful NaNa's and PaPa, too, along with all your Aunts, Uncles, Cousins and many, many good friends!
God is protecting you, providing their needs and giving strength to all. NaNa A. told me what a bright and shining little star you are to all you come in contact with at the hospital. You are so adorable with your short hair cut...who could resist you!
Bless you little one. God is truly with you. The Bible tells us He loves all little children and his deepest desire is that we would each accept him with a childlike love. Great is His faithfulness to us. His mercies are new each morning...each new day.
Our love and prayers continue to be with each of you.

Aunt Nancy and Uncle Paul
