Last Day of Radiation
Radiation is complete. This morning at Radiation, Rebekah got presents from the primary anesthesiologist as well as the primary nurse. She didn't have much interest in opening them while we were there, but she did open one of them in the car - it was within reach.
She was rather cranky waking up this morning. I think she's getting tired of whole treatment, especially the Radiation.
We had time to spend between Radiation and her Eye appointment, so we went to Target to do some shopping. Mom spent some of her birthday gift card on a variety of things.
Her eye appointment went well. She didn't want to cooperate too much, but with some encouragement the doctor was able to get a good look at her eyes. She has conjunctivitis in her left eye (which is commonly known as pink eye). The doctor prescribed some eye drops to help with that. Otherwise there are no signs of current problems with her eye. That is good news! Realistically, the problems would not be expected this early, but it is good to know that there are no serious issues now. The eye doctor wants us to continue to use the lubricating drops once we've done the week of antibiotic drops. Rebekah will fight having the drops, but it is important.
It has been a big errand day with Rebekah in tow, so Mom is pretty tired. Both girls are currently sleeping. Sarah stayed with friend Rae this morning, so Mom didn't have to worry about her through all the appointments and errands. Thanks Rae! It will be nice to sleep in tomorrow morning...

Oh sweet joy the radiation is OVER!! I am so thrilled to read the great news these past few days, playing Rebekah and end of treatments.....may this great stuff just keep happening!
Praise God! Am praying mightily for you and your family from Texas.
Hopefully that chapter in your life is through for good!
Last night I was at Shopper's Drug Mart with Stephanie and the clerk asked, "Would you like to donate a dollar for cancer?"
I paused for a moment until Rebekah came to mind, and I said, "Yes, yes I do." We were given a paper leaf on which Stephanie wrote, 'For Rebekah' That yellow leaf is taped on a wall so far from her home, and yet among the many hundred leaves surrounding hers, it's special. It's precious because it marks the fight of a brave little girl and her loving parents who have walked hand and hand with Jesus through the valley of the shadow of death, all the while keeping their eyes on the mountain upon which their strength comes from.
Hip Hip Hooray, Radiation is done and over with!!!
So glad mommy will not have to be doing those 5 a.m. out the door trips.
Wonderful news from the eye Dr. Pink eye we can deal with, drops, we can do. Thank you Father for keeping Rebekah's eyes safe.
Rae, thank you for your help today, you are an angel.
HipHip HOORAY!!! Thank you Father!!!
Thank you Lord for this milestone!!!
Amen to all that has already been said!!!
For Rebekah we are happy, hoping, praising and praying.
For Frances we are thankful for no before dawn alarm going off tomorrow! May it be a good night.
We pray for Sarah, Mom and Dad and all a precious small taste of some degree of normalcy. ENJOY YOUR NEW ROOM GIRLS!!!
Love and hugs, Paul and Nancy
God is Good - ALL the time!! We say Yahoo that Rebekah's eye problem is a typical case of pink eye and will pray that putting in the drops won't be such a big ordeal for her (or you!).
Continuing to pray that the radiation treatments have done what they were intended to do - and nothing more!!!
....and praying especially for Frances tonight...that she sleeps well and gets some much-needed rest! ...Sleepin' in! Yahoo!! NO MORE RADIATION!!! We're celebrating with you!!
God is good....and He gets all the praise!!
Deb

God is good!
praise God! i'll still keep her in my prayers.
YAAAQAYYYYYYYYY no more radiation!!!!!! Glad to read that all is well with her eye so far. I pray for smooth sailing from here on out and quick healing!
Just wanted to let you know that I won't be around very often here for a bit. I have had to disconnect my internet service, and I am moving so it will take me a while to get back online. I want you to know that I think of Rebekah very often throughout my day and that I pray for her all the time. I also pray that god grants you the serenity to handle all of this and not unravel. Mom and Dad have the strength of ten titans! God bless.
Great pix of her exploring her room! It's great to see her up and about!
Thinking of you all.
Praise God! Thank you Lord! Father,please keep pouring out your grace and your mercy on this whole family,grant them perfect rest as they sleep & strength during their days. Continue supporting them with hearts and bodies to pray and give them the help they need. In Jesus name I ask. Amen.
Yesssssss! Praise God! Still praying.
Praise God. My prayers will continue. Thanks Jesus!
Praise God!!!!! We are so happy that you are done with radiation. Also glad to hear that your eyes are fine. When I tell the girls I am sure they will do the happy dance for you. They will have to teach it to you when you feel up to it. We continue to pray for you all. God is good and HE can do all things. Jim, Connie, Angelica and Melysa Mae Juengel
