Another Monday

Rebekah didn't eat much today, but wanted some in front of her while the rest of us age. Her diaper rash is getting better, but it still isn't pretty. I'm keeping it covered with an ointment (Xenaderm) that will help it to heal. We used the same ointment on the worst of Rebekah's radiation burns. She continues to ask periodically for "blue" owie medicine (the only medicine that she gets that is blue is morphine) and does not want the daily GCSF shot.

She seems to be a little more tired, taking more naps. It could be from her dropping blood counts. Her nap this afternoon was on the floor. I'm not sure why, but at some point she crawled out of bed and onto the floor in her bedroom and fell asleep.

Rebekah has been tolerating her feeds today, so that is always a good thing.

Sarah has been a tired girl, too. I think she is probably growing. She is sleeping longer during the day. She got up this morning and after eating some breakfast, wanted to go night night. Are we starting a new trend?

Daddy has been fighting a cold. That tends to make him cranky and less patient. Unfortunately, he still has to work and had lots of things to do today, so he didn't get a break today. Please pray that he feels better soon.

Mommy has been dealing with mail, bills, dishes, and ignoring laundry and cleaning (at least for today) as I can only do so much. That is, of course, in addition to being Mommy to two beautiful and delightful girls. They have both made me smile and brought tears of joy to my eyes today. Rebekah is being such a big girl and such a big helper. She is always trying to clean up, get things out of the fridge, get her sister food, help with her (or her sister's) diaper changes, etc... Sarah is growing up so fast. They are beautiful girls, each in her own way. How can I not smile and be thankful for what I have? God is good!
