Visit Rebekah's Page to get updates, read messages and send messages to Rebekah and her family through comments. 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.

Thursday Late

There doesn't seem to be much to report for today. We've been blessed with a number of visitors, so it kept the day moving. I'm not going to mention everyone, because I would probably forget some. I will say that Addison came by for a little visit. She's out of Pediatric ICU and into a regular pediatric room. She seems to be doing very well. That is a great news.

Rebekah didn't want to eat much today, which we have come to expect. Her appetite will go down and it will come back up. We encourage eating as much as possible and offer a variety of choices. It is always hard to guess at what she will eat. One day she eat one thing only and the next day she won't touch it.

While we've been in the hospital, she has seen a Physical Therapist, Speech Therapists and Occupational Therapists. It is great to have some therapy while we are here for a couple of reasons - it helps her work on her skills and it gives her something to do.

We couldn't get Rebekah to take a nap today, although she did rest a couple of times. She was a little cranky, but it could have been much worse. Sarah took several short naps, but no normal nap.

We continue to be amazed by the news of Rebekah's tumor being "gone". It is truly incredible news. Please continue to pray as we meet with doctors tomorrow. Most of the morning is packed with appointments. Please pray for Karen and Grandma A who will be watching both girls while we traverse the appointments.

Dear Scott and Frances,

Praying even now for wisdom for all, the doctors and you, for His peace to abound in your decisions, for Karen and Grandma A to have a good day watching Sarah and Rebekah...Proverbs 3:5-6...Oh yes!!

With much love and continual prayer, Cousin Jodi in OH

"Dear friends, don't be bewildered or surprised when you go through the fiery trials ahead, for this is no strange and unusual thing that is going to happen to you. Instead, be really glad- because these trials will make you partners with Christ in His suffering, and afterwards you will have the wonderful joy of sharing His glory in that coming day when it will be displayed."
1 Peter 4:12

"These trials are only to test your faith, to see whether or not it is strong and pure. It is being tested as fire tests gold and purifies it- and your faith is far more precious to God than mere gold; so if your faith remains strong after being tried in the test tube of fiery trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day of His return."
1 Peter 1:7

"For the Lord is watching His children, listening to their prayers..."
1 Peter 3:12
