Not Much to Report

Another day is nearly done. There is not much to tell. For 10 days after Rebekah receives Chemo, she gets a shot that helps increase her blood counts. She has been objecting to them the last few days. She tries to run away from them. It is sad to see her reaction, but we know she needs them. Tonight, Rebekah was fighting it and Sarah was upset along with Rebekah and crawled over to where she was. There is the love between them shining through.

The girls are finally asleep. Rebekah normally goes to bed about 8pm, but Sarah will usually be up until somewhere between 10 and midnight. Today Sarah went down a little before 10. Hopefully, she'll sleep through the night. Mom isn't getting a lot of sleep. Sarah hasn't been doing a good job of sleeping through the night. She wakes up and starts screaming and hasn't yet learned how to put herself back to sleep. Occasionally, she'll take her binky back and settle down. More often, however, she won't settle in quickly. Do we let her scream and possibly wake Rebekah or pick her up and rock her (or nurse her) back to sleep which doesn't help her learn to put herself to sleep? It is truly a dilemma. Uugh! It is especially a problem when Mom, Rebekah and Sarah are all in the hospital room together for the night. Unfortunately there isn't a perfect solution.
