Another Morning
Rebekah's fever continued throughout the evening and she was up at 4am and did not go back to sleep. Therefore mommy was also up and did not get back to sleep.
Radiation went well this morning and Rebekah is calm after coming back. The radiation doctor said that it looks like she is getting some good healing in her throat. We are pretty sure that we know where the healing is coming from. It seems baby Sarah is gifted with the power of healing:
This picture was taken Saturday during one of our cherished visits by Sarah and whoever is babysitting her at the time. Last night Grandma A brought Sarah by after dinner. Rebekah had not done anything except fight against things all day until Sarah came in. Sarah has leared to wave and when we told her to say "hi" to Rebekah she started waiving and then Rebekah pulled her hand out from under her blanket and waved back. Shortly there after everyone was leaving for the night and Rebekah put her hand on daddy's face to say 'night night' and, in the faintest whisper through her hoarse throat said, "I Wuv You".
We are frustrated with 10 days+ in the hospital but moments like the above give us the strength to go one more day.

Such treasures they both are.
Praise God that the radiation seems to be doing it's job. Continuing with prayers for rest and healing.....
You have the most precious gifts, both of the girls love each other soooo much. It's amazing what the power of love can do. Thank God the chemo is working too. Keeping you all in my prayers.
Such tender moments. Unsolicited love from a child is priceless. Take a photo of that moment in your mind and never let go of your little girl's love for her daddy. Next to our Heavenly Father, you are the bravest, strongest daddy I know right now.
Prayers, love and hugs,
Rebekah and Chi Chi are making their own memories, that picture is so very precious--it makes me smile big time!
Mommy..I pray for you over and over again each day...I know how hard it is to be "the one" "the main" care person...may God give you strength today to find peace and joy in this time of attachment, strength during this special task that you have been entrusted with. I wish I could carry more of the burden for you.
Daddy---my heart filled to over flowing (over flowed through my eyes!!) with the mental picture of her sweet hands on your face and the effort it took for her utter those priceless words...I wuv you...oh daddy...it just doesn't get any better than that does it?!
God is Good, as he continually shows us!

little Sarah: (in BEST southern drawl) "In the name of JEE-SUS be healed!!"
I love that photo. I am praying so much for you guys. I really hope that some rest is in the future for you. Let me know what I can do for you this week or weekend or both.
The innocence and purity of love.
Still here, still praying.
What a precious picture! Both of your girls are so beautiful!!! They seem to have so much joy and love in their eyes, even though things are hard right now.
I am continuing to pray for Rebekah! She has come so far! No turning back now!!!!!!!

Your story is heartbreaking, and cried and cried and cried some more as I read through every post and played the song you have displayed on one of them.
I'm so sorry, Rebekah. God holds you in his arms.
Trinitie
Please tell Rebekah--and Sarah--that we love them.
It's good to hear that her throat is getting a little better (I think that's what the post said...it slips my mind after reading the rest of the blog and the comments).
The picture is sooo precious! Your girls are little angels! I am still praying for you all.
That picture is amazing and one that I am sure you will treasure forever.

I also left this prayer on Darlene's comments. One of my children has big difficulty but it is not life threatening. I can only imagine how tough it must be to worry about survival.
Rebekah there is a Texan out here that loves you!
Lord Almighty,
You make all things from the flaming stars to the tiny flowers. We know You are able to do all things.
Bless this child. If it is your will that she is healed today, then do it and we will praise you for it. If it is your will to heal her later then grant her the strength face each day with a smile on her face and joy in her heart.
We don't understand your will. So sometimes we are filled with worries. Help us all with this Lord. Please give Rebekah and her family the peace that surpasses all understanding. Let them not lose heart. Give them the courage of knowing You are in control and Your will is right.
Bless the medical staff who treats Rebekah. May they know by Rebekah’s blessings that You are The Great Physician capable of healing all wounds. Help them to do your will with her medical care. Show them that You are the source of their healing so they will remain humble and seek You for their healing power.
Bless those who pray with me so they will be encouraged. Bless their gifts as they are given with cheer.
I ask all this inasmuch as it is Your will. Your little helper in the big white hat.
what a special photo.
That has got to be the sweetest picture I have ever seen ever. The healing power of a sisters touch cannot be beaten!!! The love they have is so apparent. Seeing Rebekah with that little smile is amazing. What a wonderful gift you have right there. God is loving you.
What a great photo. It's so great to see the girls together.
I haven't posted here yet, so I thought it was time I came out of the wood works to tell you that I am following this precious girl's story and praying for her.
I am in the military, and I am stationed in Italy.. very far away from "reality". I also work in the hospital as a "corpsman" and am in school to be a nurse :) I have been telling everyone around here about Rebekah, and getting awareness out there. Thank you for putting her story out there so freely!
God Bless you and your family!
What a precious photograph!
....and what an Awesome God we serve who has been faithful to answer my prayers to prompt SOMEONE to be praying for Rebekah ROUND the CLOCK. I marvel at the previous post...from Italy...and I believe a while ago I read one from Singapore...The Lord has His children positioned all over this globe - to pray for Rebekah and your family as the Holy Spirit prompts them...and I believe that she is indeed covered in prayer through ALL the hours of the day and night!
God is good! May His healing power continue to surge through Rebekah---and make her well --every cell---functioning as He intended.
Praying always...in Pennsylvania
Deb, Randy and Olivia
It is truly amazing the pictures you are capturing and I just want to reach through my pc screen and hug the daylights out of both of them....keeping all of you in prayer.
