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.

Rebekah's Update and a Special Request

Rebekah has had a bad day. She barely ate anything and it is obvious that she is not feeling well. We believe that she has some mouth sores but she won't let us look. This evening (about 5 o'clock or so) she took a pillow off the couch and pulled out a little blanket and just laid down on the floor. She then asked mommy if she could lay on her lap and just fell asleep there on the couch. Please pray for nausea and sores to go away.

As she was laying down we took her temperature. She has a fever. She is right at/above/below/above (depends on how many times we take her temperature) the line where we are supposed to be going into the hospital. We are expecting that sometime this evening or tomorrow morning we will be back to the hospital for a 2-3 day stay due to her fever. Please pray for a lower temperature through the night and in the morning.

We do have a special request that does not relate specifically to Rebekah. We received a phone call this evening that began by us being asked to put this request on Rebekah's Page because there is a little boy that desperately needs prayer and they know that many people read this around the world and will pray for him. Amanda (the angel who has been helping us SO much) has a 6 day old nephew, Adrian. Adrian is in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit with an extremely high bilirubin count due to a liver problem. He may be in need of a transfusion. He is in the same hospital where we may end up tomorrow so maybe we can pray with him and his parents Jeremy and Marie. Please pray with us for Adrian's healing.

Frances,

I recall that last Thursday, when I was visiting Rebekah, that Amanda received the news of her nephew's imminent birth. She IS an angel and rushed off (from helping you) to help her family. I will definitely be praying for him...he needs an opportunity to come to know his wonderful aunt!

Once again, I am amazed at how the Lord is using Olivia to intercede for Rebekah. We have not been able to read any of the posts for the past few days because we were out of town visiting relatives. Today - Olivia has a fever. Just before she went to bed, as I was praying with her, she said, "Dear Jesus, help Rebekah's booboo to feel all better. And help her to not be so hot because she can't have any "pop drops" (her name for Tylenol). In Jesus' name. Amen". I thought that it was sortof an odd prayer...but... Now...here it is - 3am our time - and I can't sleep. I wanted to take some time to catch up with the posts. ...I'm reading that Rebekah has a fever --- that she is unable to take any fever-reducing medication- and am sitting in awe at what God is doing through our little one. I believe that Olivia is such an important intercessor in this situation - because she is so sincere - prays from her heart and DEFINITELY (even though she has no idea) is being led by the Holy Spirit and directed how to pray! ....Believing for a miracle! May God bless you and strengthen you and wrap you in His arms today! I'm praying for an extra measure of energy for all of you! Deb Erskine

Dearest Rebekah-
You have some mighty prayer warriors on your side! I believe God speaks clearly to chirldren and Olivia sounds like an anointed little girl with a huge heart for you, Rebekah! Health to Olivia, Adrian and you, sweet Rebekah! I just talked with Grandpa and he is going to check in with your Daddy this morning to see how all of you are doing!
My love to you all,
TT
