Nothing Comes To Mind

Last night Music Therapy came around and you can see the joy that it brought Rebekah. It was really cute.

I can't recount for you the day's events because I have been trying to get some work done out in the trailer. What I can say is that I am SO blessed by being able to be here and feel so much for other families where one parent (or both in some cases) is not around during treatments.

Yesterday two different times Mommy called and said that Rebekah really wanted to see daddy or was asking for daddy. It was such a delight to be able to drop everything and run (Literally) across the parking lot, through the hospital, and up into her room and hold her, kiss her etc. I did spend quite a bit more time yesterday than usual in the hospital and that is good.

Monday night was also interesting. I had spent a fair amount of afternoon time there and about 6:30 came back to the trailer to try and do some more work. What I started doing, however, is reading some past blog entries as well as some blogs from the other cancer kiddos. About an hour and half later I couldn't see through the tears and had to go back to the room and hold my little girl. She wasn't in much of a being held kind of mood but that was okay as what she wanted to do was run around the hospital dragging her IV Pole in tow. Again, I was so blessed to be able to be close enough to fix my emotions with a visit; not every parent can do that.

As always, we want to thank the Dunham's for taking such great care of Sarah and allowing us the hospital time to focus on Rebekah's (and our?) needs. And we also want to thank Grandma A for spending last night with Rebekah so mommy and daddy could have some alone time together in the trailer. I think the last time we actually had alone time without having to worry about the girls was... got me?

Today Debbie is bringing Sarah back later this morning and we are going to get her first hair cut. We are going to Shami, a friend of Grandma A's, and the same person who cut Rebekah's hair all off before the chemo. I am sure that will bring back some memories as well.

Thank you for your prayers, comments and support. I am really excited that it looks like we will just about end this last week of chemo with 50,000 visitors to this site since treatment began. WOW. PLEASE continue to check up and to share this and www.HelpRebekah.com with others. Numbers are not everything and we know that but they are dropping off - HelpRebekah hardly gets 10 hits a day anymore.
