Happy Father's Day

I am sorry to all of you who have checked in over the weekend and not had an update. We have not been sitting at the computer much this weekend.

Rebekah is doing a little bit better. She is eating some things but not a lot. Chem messes with your taste buds and things that used to taste good don't now and vice-versa. She is bruising quite a bit - like if you just bump into her or she bumps into the corner of the couch. I feel bad because this little girl looks like she has been through a 10 round fight just by walking around the house.

Overall I cannot imagine a better father's day than to have both of my little girls running around and happy. Grandma A and Grandma M both came over today and played with the girls and Grandma A brought a father's day meal that was delicious.

After dinner Rebekah went to her own "tool box" that keeps her medicines and, with some help opening it, got out all of the medicines and syringes that she needed to give her tubes "a drink." When I asked her if we should use "this" and pulled out the syringes that give her a shot she was pretty certain that we didn't need to use it but the others (the needleless type) were "okay." She is one smart little girl.

We go in tomorrow or tuesday for more blood tests and to see how she is doing over all. After the scares of last week we are hoping for a boring week before we have to go back a week from tomorrow for scans, chemo, etc. in a 7 day + stay.

Dear Lord,
We have already seen physical changes in Rebekah's appearance- we know that you have decreased the tumor- we have faith that you can remove it completely- before or during surgery! We all prefer that you remove it entirely BEFORE the need for surgery. Let this be a miracle to show us that you are the Almighty God- the true physician!
We praise you, Lord, and we thank you!
In Him,
A believer and a friend
