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.

A Hot Sunday Afternoon

Rebekah and Sarah both slept through the night pretty well but were up early at 6:30am. That was kind of difficult for daddy as he sat out around the camp fire talking with some new friends until about 1am. That was his fault though! Friday night Rebekah had fallen out of the bed but last night went real well.

Last night we home-made 100 donuts with toppings, frosting, etc. That is something the kids really enjoy. There was a scavenger hunt and then a big screen outdoor movie for the kids to watch. Unfortunately it was a bit too late for our girls though based on the time they got up it might have been a good idea anyway.

We are still sitting in the campground on this very hot Sunday afternoon. It is close to 90 degrees in the shade and about 75 in the trailer with the air conditioning running - one of the reasons we are still here. Most of the people have gone and we are using the opportunity to get some general cleaning done in and around the trailer - the kind of stuff that doesn't generally get done sitting in the parking lot at the hospital.

Once it starts to cool down we will head towards the hospital and get situated in the parking lot for another week. Hopefully this one will be a short week and we can be home Wed or Thur. Things are kind of loaded funny as we have all the "regular" camping stuff in the van instead of the trailer and all the office/hospital stuff in the trailer. We are kind of thinking that once we get situated daddy will take a trip home to make sure every thing is okay at home and unload the camping stuff. During that time the girls can "rest" in the trailer at the hospital. How attitudes are running still will remain to be seen.

Rebekah has very much enjoyed bike rides and playing with other children. This was a wonderful break and we are very thankful to all of the NAFA folks for the invitation. As always, it is a great group.
