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.

More Stumbling Blocks

She is having more trouble breathing this morning than she has. I would describe it as "labored". Her oxygen saturation is staying OK as long as we have oxygen blowing by her face.

The doctors and nurses are having a difficult time hearing how her lungs are doing because of all the crud at the top of her airway. Instead of doing a chest xray, they have decided that they want a chest ct. Which means another anesthesia. It looks like that is scheduled for 1pm.

Maybe while she is asleep (under anesthetic), they can suction more of the crud out. They did get some of it this morning.

What does all this mean for when we might go home? Who knows!

Came by to let you know I'm praying for Rebekah and your family. Little Rebekah has captured my heart, and I'll be lifting her before the Lord's throne, not only today, but every day.

Lord, I just pray that you would help Rebekah to breath better. I pray that the procedure this afternoon goes well and that they can get some stuff off her lungs as well. Give her strength Lord, give her peace; take away any pain that she is having. I pray for Mommy and Daddy and Sister as well that you would draw them close to You and help them feel Your comfort and peace. I pray for wisdom for the doctors and all involved. I pray that you guide and move their hands. Mostly, Lord, I continue to pray for a miracle for little Rebekah's life that can be a testimony for You. I pray for Your healing hands to touch her. In Jesus name, amen.

Praying in Seattle...

God bless you in your continued struggles. I am so glad that you have people like Allie and Steve who are so willing to do what it takes! Kudos to those who are really walking the walk with Christ! I pray that the congrigation at Our Place is not only praying but stepping up and taking action to help your family when you most need it. I'm frustrated to be so far away and I don't have the option to say "What can I do?"...all I can do is pray and pray for others to hear a call and answer it in extraordinary ways!!!
