MIRACLE of all Miracles
What we have been afraid to even ask outloud for has been granted. Rebekah's tumor is "gone". According to todays meeting with the surgeons, oncologists, radiologists, etc. the tumor is "gone" and there is nothing left to remove or operate on. Only God can do such a thing.
You may have noticed that "gone" is in quotes and that is for reason. There seems to be very different meanings of that word and we are quite confused right now. Unfortunately not all of the meanings seem to mean "nothing is there and we are as good as if it never happened". The confusion that we are experiencing seems to stem from different views/perspectives/? from different doctors. There is a "gone" but we still have to do more chemo and radiation theme. If you are asking "what is there to radiate if the tumor is really gone?" then you are in the same boat as us. We have not been able to get a direct answer to that question - yet. Please pray for direction and peace as to what this all really means. Unfortunately it is clouding the elation of pure joy associated with the tumor being "gone".
Rebekah had more body and bone scans today. Presumably to make sure the tumor has not spread (moved?) to another part of her body. We lost her (as in could not find her) for a short while during this process and that was a bit frustrating. Hopefully we will know the results of some of these tests tomorrow. We will still have to do a PET scan next week.
Please pray for the continued good news in the scans that were today and a clean bill of health for her. With God it is possible. More updates to try and clear up the confusion (if you are confused right now imagine what we are feeling) will come just as soon as we know something and can get them up.

Oh WOW....Double WOW!!....Triple WOW!! and beyond!!....I am rejoicing and trusting gone really means gone. Yet, I will continue to pray because Rebekah is pretty much permanently etched into my prayer life anyway! She's a good prayer habit to have.
Lamentations 3:22-23....Oh yeah!!
Love to all, Jodi
What an awesome God! Please be encouraged by this true story. Our pastor's daughter (age 18) was diagnosed some months ago with a type of cancer and had many chemo sessions with all that comes with it - the nausea, loss of hair, moodiness, etc. Part way thru, her tumor was 'gone' also. They continued the chemo treatments that were originally prescribed to ensure that 'gone' would stay 'gone'. (The treatments became easier as time went by.) Yes, it is confusing! She is still technically cancer free. The doctors, however, don't consider gone really gone until it's been gone for 5 years. In the meantime, what a radiant picture of health she is.
Our prayers are with you. Thanks be to God for His healing. May He continue to extend His mercy and grace to you all.
Love in Him,
Jo
Praise God!
God is so VERY good!! I've been praying this past week that He would just pluck that tumor out of her. ~Caron
can i just say
GOD IS GOOD!!!!
Praise Him
Trust Him
Slap High fives with Him!!!!!
That is so wonderful. I had a child with severe kidney problems healed in the womb. We had fetal assessment photos of his massive kidneys and after much prayer they dissapeared. His name is Nathaniel, "Gift from God."
Enjoy your little gift from God.
Blessings,
I am so thrilled to hear that the scans showed NOTHING! I think maybe a reason for Rebekah's struggle is to make even questionable believers (like me) into true believers. I can't seem to find any explanation for this that doesn't include the hand of a higher power.
We are all lucky to know you and your family, Rebekah. We are all still here for you.

This is awesome news!!!! Thank God so much for the amazing ways in which He works. We know this is nothing short of His hand reaching out to little Rebekah.
We'll continue to pray for the rest of the treatment as well - God is good!
