Some Pictures

Rebekah has had some really high highs and low lows today. She is really happy and having fun and then gets sick and, well, isn't happy anymore. Unfortunate she has been throwing up most of the afternoon after we took these pictures. Anything that gives just a little bit of excitement seems to result in sickies.

Amy came by to provide some therapy to Rebekah and we were able to snap some pictures:

We know it is working on balance - Rebekah just knows its fun!


To Rebekah it is shopping - to us it is practice walking:


It is definately hard to work with all those tubes hanging off us and her IV pole being her constant "Friend" but we do what we have to do. Have a good weekend.

Sweet smiling face of a happy baby girl!

Praise God for miracles of healing, even if it's just in mom and dad's heart for a moment while their sweetheart is smiling and being "herself".

Praying all the more that she can get through withdrawals and that the excitement isn't so "exciting" (cleaning up sickies) for mom and dad.

Day by day, step by step...

This little one is a girl after my own heart, shopping even while in the hospital! She looks so good. My heart is filled with joy to see her smiling.

We continue to pray for our dear little friend, Rebekah, and her family. May God bless you richly today.

Thanks for the pictures. She's a wonderful little girl, and I feel blessed to know her story and be able to covenant with you in prayer for her.

God bless your weekend.
