Another Good Day

It has been a good day. Sarah needed to get some shots, so Mom, Sarah and Rebekah headed to the doctor's office. I think Rebekah was glad she wasn't the one being poked today! After the shots, we ran a number of errands and headed home.

Bruce came by and put two windows in. The new room is coming together and looking great.

Carol (Scott's former assistant) stopped by and helped Scott with office work. She is always a great help!

A big thank you to both Bruce and Carol for their help today!

Rebekah and Sarah got a package today with matching summer dresses from Scott's Aunt Nancy and Uncle Paul. Rebekah wanted to wear the dress NOW. Later, she got a hold of the dress, had it off the hanger and was telling mom that she wanted her shirt changed (making it very clear that she wanted to wear her new dress). I think it was a big hit with her! Thanks Paul and Nancy for your thoughtfulness.

It seems like each day can be a challenge to find the foods that taste good to Rebekah and that she will eat. Mom worries about her eating enough and avoiding too much weight loss. Especially right after chemo, her appetite drops and she will not eat real well. Then, as her counts rise, she eats better. When we went into the doctor's office yesterday, her weight was back up to where it had been when we first saw the oncologist. That is great! This week she has been eating pretty well.

Please keep up the prayers and the comments. They are truly appreciated.

We've been gone a week and I'm just getting caught up on Rebekah's progress. Received my green bracelet when we returned and will wear it to remind me to pray for and tell others about Rebekah. Praise God, it sounds like your family has many friends and volunteers helping. That is a great relief, I'm sure. Keeping you all in prayer... Love in Him, Jo
