Moving Right Along
As any parent of any young child knows, the goods (highs) do not come without the bads (lows). In this case we had a fall out after we got home last night. Too much activity going on all around Rebekah really started to get to her and we think she got over-tired. Easy to do when you have chemicals and radiation taking away all of your energy to begin with. Mommy and Grandma M spent several hours trying to calm her down and get her to bed. What is really neat, however, is that this is fairly typical behavior from a youngster - to have some behavior that is "normal" is a God-send!
On another note, we are moving right along in the playroom addition. The electrical outlets are all in, the lights all in, the door is now in and the final painting is being done. Daddy did most of the electrical early this morning and mommy and daddy took care of the door together. The coolest (and hardest ) thing being done is the painting - a work in progress thanks to Annika:
We are really a little scared to actually accept that we have had a few reasonably good days. We know there are more lows to come but these last few days have helped to replenish some energy.

To every thing there is a season.
We know, as Christians, that in the end the good will completely overshadow the bad.
Playroom looks grand.
Good days make the bad days a little easier to take. We'll just keep praying that the good out number the bad!
I know it is easier said than done but focus on those good days and try not to dwell on the bad ones. Cherish every single second of every day good or bad. One thing that you and Maggie have taight me is that time is way to short to dwell on the bad times. You have also taught me to cherish my daughters and spend as much time with them as possible. Thank you for that. We continue to pray for you and your family. We know that God is good and He can do all things. We would love to help with the wood, I will make sure to call soon. Love Jim, Connie, Angelica, and Melysa Mae Juengel
glad you are having some good days. relish them - you totally deserve it. :)
your family is still in my prayers!
Counting the days until that wretched radiation is over!!....And of course, praying for you through it all.
One day I want to play in the new playroom. It looks fun!!
So good to read that she is having regular kid behavior!! I know with gods help she will be throwing tantrums in no time flat!!!!
Hello,
I just wanted to send my love and prayers from Akron. Joe and I (we are both attending the University of Akron) have been going to Rebekah's blog all the time; thank you for keeping us updated. I'm praying for you all.
Love,
Bethany Tucker
Praise God for "NORMAL"!
On Friday, I posted "May God continue to fill your moments with miracles"...and then Saturday, Scott, you were able to spend some awesome time with Rebekah --she walked! --you sat at the computer together and watched the video --she "fixed" the pens! --how awesome were those moments?! God is good! And then Sunday --more miraculous moments as Rebekah behaved like a regular 3-year old - throwing a fit! - so glad she had the energy to do that even!!
God works in mysterious ways --His wonders to perform! Even the rough time you had calming her --her behavior -a miracle when you think about it!
We are continuing to pray for you guys! That God FILLS your days with grand accomplishments and progressive steps forward --that Rebekah continues to regain her strength and stability and that the remainder of her treatments will not be detrimental in any way - but be worthwhile - and that they accomplish what they are meant to accomplish! ...praying for a complete healing!
In His Love - from PA,
Randy, Deb and Olivia
I'm glad for the highs too.
I continue to Praise Him and rejoice with you for all the precious moments of joy and improvements. May God continue to replenish and restore. More baby steps forward and less big steps back. God's peace and mercy to you all.
