Happenings

It is hard to post after the last one. It has been up there for a while as our way of honoring Rachel and it seems that any post after that isn't nearly as important. Even though we did not "know" her personally, Rachel's passing has been emotional for us as we have been following her through a list serve for families with the same type of cancer as Rebekah. Rachel and her family have been the hopes and dreams of many of us - they were the ones who we looked to for hope with any recurrence. It may seem selfish, but we wanted Rachel to make it so there would be a chance for us if recurrence happens.

It has been a fairly normal week. Earlier this week we found out that Rebekah's summer classes are going to be at a different school than where she has been. Because there are "closer" schools our local school district who pays for her bussing decided they would not pay to transport kids to Rebekah's summer school. The alternative was to have her go to a new school for 1 month and not continue with the same teachers/staff who know her (she is already going to a new school for Kindergarten in August). It turns out the decision was a "general" one for all of their special ed little ones and a quick phone call and they made a special exception for Rebekah to continue with her class through summer. We have an awesome school district when it comes to helping.

Today mommy and Rebekah are at the eye doctor all morning trying to get a good exam and current update on damage. Next Tuesday is Rebekah's dental work under full sedation.

Today is mommy and daddy's 16th anniversary. I LOVE YOU HONEY!
