Not Great News - But Not Horrible Either
Well, we received the call from the doctor's office earlier this morning. It was not the great "everything disappeared overnight" news that we have been praying for, but not exactly bad either.
The tumor board reviewed the scans and apparently had a more detailed report from some more radiologists. Yes, there are areas of activity throughout different places in her body. But there is some rating system (in numbers) that assigns how much activity. What we had received earlier was just "activity." The numbers tell how active the activity is and the numbers are apparently not that high. What this means is that THEY are not that worried and want another set of scans again in a month.
What it does not do is remove a lot of concern on our part. There is still some activity. We don't know what, we don't know why, and it seems that maybe we are not going to for short while. We know we will be able to, but are not sure exactly how we are going to cope with this "unknown" for another month. Sometimes it seems like "nothing" or "everything" is better than "just a little bit let's wait and see".
We don't know what scans they are going to want in a month and we have asked for a "care conference" where WE sit down with all of the docs and case manager so we can have a little bit more of a better understanding of what has been done, what is going to be done, and what OTHER options there are.

I'll be praying you get the clarity you need.
And just FYI: I was doing the "Next Blog" button thing, and this is the first time I've ever come across a blog I already knew quite well by that method!!!
A whole lot of praying can be done all around the world in a month! I know I will praying. God bless your family.
A "CAre Conference" is a wonderful idea! Be sure to make a list of questions before you go. The uncertainty is the worst - that's the most difficult place to be in. I shall keep praying, and ask others to join me as well. Thank you for your update.
I have to agree with "the other me"... I was thinking the same thing!! I will be praying this month lots for Rebekah, info being made known and clearly communicated to you and peace all around. God Bless You!!! ~Kelli W
OK everyone, it's time that we all storm Heaven with prayer for Rebekah. I know I will be praying and God covetes our prayers so don't hold back. He can do migthily what we can't.
Not only has Olivia been praying for "that nasty old devil to leave Rebekah alone" but now she has made up a song about an angel and how the angel chases the devil and Rebekah gets all better....and she sings the song all the time.
...the faith of a child....
...still praying here in Pennsylvania! ---and will continue!
I believe that no matter what the enemy appears to do by deception or by destruction....the bottom line...God IS victorious. He has done great things and continues to be the awesome I AM. I pray for all of us to continue to stand in the gap of intercession with praise and thanksgiving, knowing how great is our God and how much he loves Rebekah and her family.
Scott and Frances you are HIS beloved as HE is yours. I pray that you continue to find peace and comfort under the shadow of His wings. Our family is there for you as well.
Thank you so much for the update. I will continue to pray that everything is fine. Prayer is powerful and each one of us praying can only help. I will also pray that God gives you peace as you wait. I've always said that when God says wait it's sometimes worse than when God says no.
With Love,
Sarah from Missouri

Dear Lord:
We don't understand why these things happen to good people. We don't know why this illness have settled on an innocent child. Your ways are mysterious and no one has ever fathomed your mind. This is where we will put our whole trust and faith in you foryou alone know what the future holds. May the spirit of healing be upon Rebekah. May you touch her and make her whole.
In Jesus' name we pray, amen.
I continue to keep you all in my thoughts and prayers.
We want Rebekah and her family to know that they will all be in our thoughts and prayers. Several members of our family have had health problems in the past and we have seen the power of prayer at work many times. God Bless all of you.
God Bless America, God Save The Republic.
