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.

Mid Day Update - Transfusion in Progress

Sarah is staying with Grandma A and Rebekah and mommy went into the the clinic for regular blood tests today. Her hemoglobin was real low and they needed to do a transfusion so that is going on right now. Assuming no reaction to the transfusion, she should be in a better spot to start radiation tomorrow with "fresh" blood. Apparently there is also some concern about Rebekah's voice being somewhat "hoarse" or "raspy." Don't know what that is all about?

Sorry about no update yesterday. The girls had a fun relaxing day with Grandma A being her about 1/2 of the day. Rebekah started developing a bit of an attitude late in the day and had to go off for a nap - she did tell Grandma she was tired.

Mommy and daddy worked hard on a lot of physical things around the house. Daddy finally finished all the wiring and most of the insulation on the playroom remodel and the electricity out to the barn (which kind of had to be done right so we could pass the inspection on the playroom remodel). We can now (once inspections are past) actually have something plugged into the barn without tripping breakers or being unsafe!

Continue to pray for good results and protection from the radiation which should start tomorrow (pending any MORE last minute changes).
