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.

A Transfusion and Now Home

Rebekah and mommy just got home - almost 12 hours from when they left this morning. Rebekah's blood counts were pretty bad and she needed a transfusion. They have also ordered up the first set of equipment for providing her some nourishment through her central line. More about that later.

This was just taken of Rebekah. I just sent it to a friend of ours who said it was sad to see how sick she looks. Quite a different perspective from mommy and daddy who actually are thinking how great she looks right now, she is actually pinked up quite a bit after her transfusion and, at least to us and in comparison, looking quite spunky.



Thank you so much for your prayers - they have been quite uplifting today and we have really needed them. We have also been SO lifted up through some wonderful groceries from LaDonna and Royal Stearns and from some good news from the financial department at the hospital. It is really amazing to us how little tiny things can pick you up or let you down - we are told that means you are pretty close to the edge. If so, I guess we are sitting on it!

On the days I drive to the coast I spend that drive time praying for your family. In the mornings, noon and night, I just pray for you guys. Since the beginning of your post when sporre mentioned Rebekah it has been non-stop. God counts your tears and knows your worries.

Thanks To Anonymous for praying on the way to the coast. Quite appropriate since you probably drive by within 300 feet of our house when you do so! At Mile Post 48 on Hwy 26 you could hit our house with a stones throw.

Once your addition is complete if you decide to refinance, I would be willing to appraise your property for free. (just thought I'd throw it out there for you)

Still praying for you all. Hugs Rebekah. You are a blessing to your mommy and daddy. I can feel it by the way they write about you.
