Here is More - Back Home

9:09pm:  We were obviously able to come home from the hospital today.  

This morning daddy went down to the 4 Paws For A Cure walk that friend Christine was doing for Rebekah.  There were not too many people there but it was neat to see people walking for a cause with their puppies.  Christine wore pictures of Rebekah and handed out some bracelets and business cards.  Christine’s friend Jen also walked with here.  Thanks Ladies!

When I got back to the hospital mommy was packing up and trying to get ready to go.  Rebekah was trying to help and was very clear that she was wanting to go home.  By 1:30pm we were loaded up in the van and trailer and heading home.  The entire way home Rebekah kept asking for Chi Chi and pointing to the empty car seat next to her.  When we got home she was going around the house looking for her sister and asking for her.

Grandma M brought Sarah and dinner over around 6pm.  That was pretty awesome as Rebekah and Sarah played together quite nicely.  They both played with a toy Sarah got for her birthday last week, a hippo that drives around and picks up the things it runs over.  First Rebekah was pushing Sarah on it and then vice versa.  Rebekah was in such good spirits and we really liked that.  

Medicines tonight were/are at 4pm, 8pm, 10pm, 11pm, 2am and 6am.  Hopefully she will be able to sleep through them – we wish we could.  Tomorrow morning we are supposed to be at the Lance Armstrong ride by 7am.  We are planning on taking lots of pictures and try and get some of them up here and/or at the photo journal section of www.HelpRebekah.com  

Pray for a good day with lots of positive exposure for Rebekah tomorrow.
