Lots of Volunteers to Thank Today!

Rebekah went into the hospital today for blood counts and all were well. Nothing looks like it will stop us from next week's schedule. Rebekah was making friends with all the other kids that were in the doctor's office (or at least she was trying). She is doing so well that it is hard to believe that she is sick.

Mom and dad are working hard to not let her see the stress it is putting on us. There are also many other people helping us to do that. What we can say is that it was truly a day of blessings from volunteers.

Our friend Karen went with us to the hospital and hung out with us girls while we waited. It really is a great help having another hand during these visits.

While that was going on, Bruce was over working on the remodel. The outside siding is now done and one of the windows is in its permanent home. Bruce should be back tomorrow to help put in one (or maybe two) more windows!

Then this afternoon our friend Ginger came over and helped around the house, cleaning and taking care of the girls. Again, a great help. Ginger also brought some meals, cookies and a cake. Yummy.

Finally, this evening a friend from Our Place Church, Ranjit, came and brought some groceries and played with the girls. Ranjit just got engaged (congratulations!) but Rebekah did not seem to know that he was "taken" and seemed very smitten with him. She showed him everything and loved playing with him - she would not let go of his hand.

Finally, I would invite you to continue to check out www.HelpRebekah.com and see some more of the updates. The photo gallery and the thank you page (With Gratitude) are growing.

I would like to draw special attention to the latest entry on the With Gratitude page - Dyers RV Supply (www.dyersonline.com). They have made a very gracious donation of some parts/equipment that will help immensley with using the trailer. They were complete strangers and made this donation after reading about Rebekah here and on the help page. If any of you need to buy any parts or supplies for your RV, please check them out.

And please frequent, email, or call those that have helped just to say "thank you." Every little bit helps us get through the difficult times emotionally and financially and these people and businesses deserve to hear that others recognize their good deeds!

Please pray for a few more days of good rest and fun without a central line and for a good surgery and chemo therapy next week.
