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.

Several Good Days in a Row!

Rebekah continues to play and have at least a little bit of energy.  She made it through the night without any major difficulties though mommy is not getting much sleep in the room.

This morning Brandy brought little Sarah out to the hospital to see Rebekah.  It is SUCH a delight to see the way Rebekah’s eyes light up when Sarah enters the room.  Sarah did not seem to have much interest in just sitting in the chair with Rebekah and wanted to just run around and play with everything.  No matter though as Rebekah seemed quite content to sit and watch Sarah.  My heart actually melted when Sarah bobble and fell down and started laughing – then Rebekah started laughing as well.  Seeing Rebekah laugh was such good medicine for mommy and daddy.  

It is wonderful to have such delightful nurses and staff here at Emanuel.  As soon as she got here, Nurse Stephanie took baby Sarah over to another wing to visit with Nurse Jody who as being “forced” to work in the younger kiddo wing.  I went over later and talked to Jody and they can’t believe how fast Sarah is growing up.  The nurses here have all gotten to see it as Sarah has now spent right at ½ of her life in the hospital with us going through all this.  

We want to thank the couple of you who have made some paypal donations over at www.HelpRebekah.com It REALLY is a big life emotionally as well as the obvious lift financially.  Even if you are not led to contribute like that please, everyone, take a trip over to www.HelpRebekah.com and check it out.
