This is a public "diary" of a family whose little girl started a battle with inoperable cancer in April 2005. In December 2007 our house burned down. And in September 2009 Mommy was diagnosed with a terminal disease (a genetic form of ALS) that took her to Heaven in July, 2011, leaving Daddy and two young girls to make it on their own. Over several years of ups and downs, you will get into our hearts, minds and souls as we share joys and sorrows. It can sometimes be very difficult to read. We hope it is also uplifting. Please find joy in what you read here.

A Long Monday

Nurse Jody says to say that Rebekah has been here 8 hours and is feeling much better. I am not sure how much better she is feeling but her counts are still bottomed out. She is getting blood, antibiotics and fluids. All of that should make her feel a bit better and fight off any bad things trying to get at her immune system.

Daddy could not take the thought of being more than an hour away from the hospital while we didn't know what was going on so he quickly threw everything he could think of into the camping trailer and came down. We don't know if we are going to have everything we need but, in reality, we don't need much for a week.

Nobody has been able to give us a clear answer on leaving here. Some have said Wed evening and some have said Friday or...who knows. Right now we don't feel like we have any answers only confusion. What we do know is that, at least for the time being, no visitors allowed.

More will come as there is more.
