This is a public "diary" of a family whose little girl started a battle with inoperable cancer in April 2005. In December 2007 our house burned down. And in September 2009 Mommy was diagnosed with a terminal disease (a genetic form of ALS) that took her to Heaven in July, 2011, leaving Daddy and two young girls to make it on their own. Over several years of ups and downs, you will get into our hearts, minds and souls as we share joys and sorrows. It can sometimes be very difficult to read. We hope it is also uplifting.

Counts are Up - Praise God!

Rebekah's counts are up today so no transfusion was necessary. Thanks for all the prayers. God can do miracles! Our friend Pat had gone with us girls, so that we would have a second set of adult hands if we needed the transfusion. Since we didn't, we had to find a few things to do to "waste" time at the hospital before she could meet up with her husband after he got off work. We took our time with lunch and then looked for a grocery store so that we could pick up a few things. Now I know where one is that is reasonably close to the hospital (and I could find it again).

Her Hemoglobin which was "Critical" Tuesday is now "Low" at 8.6. Her ANC is 5380 - well into the normal range. Below 1500 is where we need to be careful.

She will get one shot tonight for "good measure" and then no more shots this time around, so she won't get 3 of the 10.

Have a great weekend!

God is huge. I really needed to hear this great news! Prayer is powerful and so is our God.

AMEN! Thank you Lord for keeping the blood counts high and not having to have a transfusion for Rebekah! Such good news to hear!!
During a third grade music class at school today, a student inquired about my "Reach the Day" bracelet. So, I had a chance to tell them about Rebekah and her chemo treatments AND that the best thing we can do for her is to pray she gets better. They listened quite attentively and a few had their own stories of cancer within a family. They want to know when she gets all better. Thanking God again for answered prayer!!...love to all OR, Jodi in OH
