Rough Night; More Pictures

Rebekah and mommy had a pretty rough night and it continues on through right now. Rebekah was up, while not constantly but enough that mommy was up constantly. We are still not sure what is bothering her. This seems to be a continuation of what was going on in the hospital. Rebekah keeps asking for her tubes to have food but then, when we try to hook her up, throws tantrums and wants to be disconnected. I can't imagine being tied to an IV pole and tubes all day everyday. After being cooped up in the hospital it is no wonder she wants to be "free." I think mommy is pretty tired and frustrated.

Early this morning Brandy brought baby Sarah home. Rebekah was up instantly wanting to play with her. Rebekah could not quite get Sarah to sit next to her on the couch to read a book but she sure tried.

When in the store the other day Rebekah saw a Dora The Explorer costume and just had to have it. Since posting pictures sure seemed to get responses from you all, here is our little Dora:

I know it must be so frustrating to not be able to know what to do to comfort to your child and how helpless it must make you feel, just know though that out here in the vastness of webspace some of us think of you and your little angels and pray for you daily. I hope God blesses you and your family and that you get some well deserved rest soon.

Darlene beat me to it, Rebecca is certainly aDORAble. Just look at that beautiful smile.

As you have walked through this situation, as I have followed it over the past months I just can't help but wonder what God has in store for everyone, I am sure it is something special!

Just think, when she's been cured of all this cancer stuff, you guys can sing "We did it, we did it, yeah, we did it!" while dancing around together. :-)
