Visit Rebekah's Page to get updates, read messages and send messages to Rebekah and her family through comments. 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.

Not What We Wanted To Hear

I have been sitting by the phone waiting for an update from mommy.  It just came and Rebekah is in the isolation room – the room that has completely filtered and germicided (is that a word?) air, an air lock to prevent outside air from getting in, visitors closely scrutinized, etc.  It is the room no one ever wants to need to be in nor to be put in as a regular room because it is so small; it does not even have room for a parent chair.  I stated that they must be pretty full because that is the last room they put people in.  Mommy said “No, it was because they needed her to be in it…”

While waiting for the update I was doing some looking at blogs that refer to Rebekah’s.  One of the highest referrals was Living For Christ - Jo Jo Loves Jesus.  I have seen the referrals but have never really read her blog, until now.  I have not cried in a while (days or weeks which, in our trials right now IS a LONG while), until now.  Now I am crying for Jo Jo and her family as well as for Rebekah’s frail state.  I have added Jo Jo to the links down the right side.  

Please pray for them and for us.

Father, wrap your loving arms around this dear family. Take their fears, take their worry - be the support under their paths so that they have unexplicable endurance. Most of all father, heal Rebekah. We know you are a God of wonders, a God of miracles. In this cynical world, we know your grace by the good we see everywhere and the joy in the faces of those you have touched. We ask for a big miracle in the lives of this family. Let them know how many, many people are praying for them and let them feel the love of their brothers and sisters in Christ.

Oh this is horrible news and so sad when Rebekah seemed to be doing so well! I will pray that keeping her safe from any germs will help her recover fast and that you will be able to find care for Sarah too. I wish we could somehow syphon some strength to you, just know that in prayer we are trying to do just that. Helen.

Praying for God to continue to reveal Himself thru you all as you endure this trial. May His glory be reflected by your faith, your love for each other, your acceptance of each day. May He comfort your hearts as you comfort each other.
