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.

A Big Turn Around

The prayers have been working. And I am sure the blood transfusion and the continued injections don't seem to be hurting either. Rebekah has experienced a very positive turn around today. She has started eating and drinking and she has gained a lot of her color back.

We went to the hospital this afternoon for a general follow up on her transfusion yesterday and to just do a check up. They took blood and some of her counts have started to turnaround although they are not all back to normal. Her ANC which was at 100 (absolutely critical) is now back to 1100. She is able to have visitors (as long as they are not sick) this weekend!

This has been a particularly up and down week and we thank you for all of the support through calls, comments and financially that we continue to receive from all of you. We truly cannot imagine how any family could go through this "on their own."

Our GOD is sooo BIG! Praise to HIM and HIS LOVE!
I really appreciate that you take the time to update the blog. I know that we read it many times during a day (when I'm home, or Russ is awake.) Know that we are praying for you daily, more than once!
We LOVE you all,
Russ, Tracey and the boys
