Visit Rebekah's Page to get updates, read messages and send messages to Rebekah and her family through comments. 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. Please find joy in what you read here.

Wednesday

No special titles today and nothing really eventful. Rebekah is doing quite well on her 3rd day of Chemo this week and doesnt appear to be getting sick or anything like that. There was a little bit of blood in her urine where the chemicals are irritating her insides but this is to be expected and is being watched closely.

Today daddy was out of the hospital a lot on business and that left mommy to deal with the girls by herself. Luckily there were several therapists (speech and physical) that came to do some things with Rebekah and that helped. Tomorrow daddy is out all day at a seminar so keep mommy and the girls lifted up!

Grandma C. stopped in a couple of times on her breaks at the hospital and Rebekah was delighted to see her. This evening Cousins Ann, Joe and JJ came by and that was really nice. They brought LOTS of food and helped to pull Rebekah around on the wagon.

Basically Rebekah is really REALLY fussy when she has to be confined to her room and absolutely happy and delightful when she can be out walking the halls or being pulled around in the wagon. One of the nurses said to us today that it is the parents that get all the exercise!

Some friends of ours were also in the hospital today with their little boy having some tests done. Prayers for little Benny please.
