Rebekah's Ups and Downs

Today was a bit of a roller coaster day.

Again Rebekah slept in real late. She continues to not be feeling well. She will ask for something to eat and tell us specifically what she wants. Then when she gets it she throws a screaming fit and pushes it away. If she does start to eat something she will be going fine for awhile and then just push it away and start crying. It is pretty obvious that her tummy is bothering her.

Her attitude (temper tantrums) continue to get worse but that, again, we believe to be part of not feeling well. She is not "Getting away with" things, but it is hard to discipline her when we know she's not happy to begin with.

This evening we had soft taco's that Ginger brought to us yesterday. Rebekah ate LOTS. Lots of daddy's and lots of mommy's. She would not, however, eat what was on her plate. I think I had a total of three on my plate that Rebekah ate one of.

After dinner Rebekah and daddy went out to the barn to do some cleaning/organizing. Rebekah likes the barn and she played out there for quite awhile. She found her little pink motorcycle "burried" in a corner and wanted to sit on it. I don't know if she will ever actually ride it but she loves to sit on it and she knows it is hers.

After quite a bit of time in the barn she wanted to go run around the yard. She headed straight to her playset but, like yesterday, she would not swing too much. About 3 minutes and she was saying and signing "all done." Her tummy maybe? She then wanted to go inside.

Just before bed time we had to change the connectors (hubs) on her central line and give her a shot. She did okay with the shot but is not at all happy about having to pull off all the tape each time. It was much nice when her tubes just hung free and all we had to do was clean them to maintain them but we just can't take a chance of these pulling out again. I feel bad for hurting her by pulling off tape and putting more on, but...

Thank you for your prayers and support. Please don't forget about us as we are still just at the beginning of this.
