Our Little Girl Is Coming Back

Today was another good day. Rebekah seems to be acting more and more like herself. We've been cutting back on some of her medications, which may be part of it. I suspect that it is a combination of feeling better physically and fewer drugs (especially sedating ones). We are working to get her off the medications, but want to take it slow so that she doesn't have any bad negative effects.

Since Rebekah wanted to go Bye Bye so badly last night, we wanted to get her out of the house for a little while today. We all went with Daddy to "work" (which was fun to see) and did some shopping and ran some errands. We were out for several hours, but both girls cooperated with us for the most part. It felt good to get out and have some good times as a family.

Rebekah has been eating a little more the last couple of days. Between she and Sarah, they just about devoured a chicken soft taco today. She ate quite a few crackers, too. She wanted to drink from her sister's sippy cup. She was willing to give her sister her sippy cup for a trade. It is good to see her eating and drinking, even if it is only a little at a time. It is a BIG improvement!

She seems to be keeping her food down well, too. Between last Thursday's appointment and Monday's appointment she had gained an entire kilo (2.2 pounds). YEAH! Hopefully, we will continue to see weight gain.

Her counts are up and we don't have any more appointments scheduled for this week. Next week is the next round of chemo.

Let's pray that the improvement continues.
