A Good Day

This was what would have classified as a “normal” day at the hospital.  Would have way back when during one of our first chemo sessions.  In other words, there are many ways that Rebekah has come back to “normal”.  

We arrived at the hospital parking lot last night and had a pretty good night.  Rebekah slept okay and mommy and daddy a little less than okay.  Rebekah’s feeding pump kept giving us an error every couple of hours and that took getting up, resetting, etc.   Then, about 2am, the trailer ran out of propane on the one bottle and daddy had to get up and go outside and switch them over.  

This morning we went over to clinic and got admitted.  Rebekah would not stay in her room.  We would have had to tie her down and that wasn’t happening.  She took her IV pole and we went to the cafeteria for lunch.  Mommy and daddy had salads and Rebekah had just about anything she wanted off of our plates.  She ate a few bites which was really awesome.  We actually sat with Maggie and her mom and dad.  Rebekah watched as Maggie ate everything in sight.  Go girl!  Maggie was sure talkative and it was really neat to spend some time with them.

During the afternoon Rebekah got her chemo started and went for a few more rides in her stroller.  When daddy came over in the evening Rebekah gave him a painting that she and mommy made.  To daddy it was the most beautiful thing in the world.  

There are some really tough things going on with insurance and all that, but things have been so good with Rebekah that I don’t want to put that in here right now.  Just pray for starting over, deductibles, out of pocket expenses, and all that.
