Appetite is down, otherwise ok

Rebekah's appetite is down, which is not uncommon. The chemo can do that. It can also change taste buds, so we're trying to find what tastes good to Miss Rebekah. For a snack she said she wanted yogurt and then wouldn't touch it and then said she wanted a banana and wouldn't touch that either. Finally she ate some dried apricots and gold fish. It is challenging and frustrating to try to get her to eat and it takes a lot of patience.

Sarah will often sit in her high chair with us while we eat. When she is eating finger foods and runs out, Rebekah will make sure that mommy knows and gets her more. She is so caring. The girls seem to have a very close bond, more so now that Rebekah has been diagnosed with cancer. They really don't like it when the other is upset. Rebekah can go from screaming and very upset to smiling and giggling, just by having Sarah's attention.

Otherwise, Rebekah has been doing pretty well. Aunt TT came out to drop off some prescriptions that she had picked up for us and brought the boys with her. Rebekah, Jacob and Michael sure had fun playing on the play structure! It will be even more fun when everything is "just right".

Please keep up the prayers for good blood counts tomorrow and no need for a transfusion.
