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.

Rebekah seems to be feeling at least a little better

It was another rough night, with not sleeping through. But the fever is just barely there (98.8 instead of 100.4) this morning. She has eaten a fair amount for breakfast over the last hour and is still sitting at the table and munching on apple jacks cereal. And she has drank a half a glass of juice. It is progress. She is still acting very clingy and spent some time this morning resting in mom's arms and resting in dad's arms, but that was before breakfast.

Sarah is sitting in her exersaucer and playing the "drop the binky on the floor and want mom to pick it up" game. Rebekah is making it very clear that mom needs to get Sarah her binky back. There she is looking after her sister.

It seems that the prayers, antibiotics and transfusion are working.

We go back to the doctor this afternoon for another dose of antibiotic and so the doctor can have a look at Rebekah.

Francis and Scott,
You are both such inspiring and incredible parents! Rebekah is blessed to have you there with her as she battles this cancer demon.

Your daily, detailed blog keeps me posted on when I need to send extra strong prayers and enlist others. I'm so grateful that you make time, even when exhausted, to share your life with us.

I pray today that God gives you strength and courage ... that he keeps working his wonders to reduce Rebekah's tumor ... and that he continues to show his love through your network of supporting friends and family.

God bless

Hi to the family of Rebekah.

I found out about Rebekah, and her blog, through a friend of mine, Steve Sporre. In one of his entries the other day, he mentioned praying for Rebekah, and posted the link to this blog. I have been praying for Rebekah as well as the family. I'm glad to hear she is eating and drinking a little. I will continue to keep you in my prayers. Thanks for keeping current on the entries....it helps us know what is going on, and how we can pray.

Keep your chin up. May you feel God's love, comfort and strength.
