Not A Good Way...
...to end the week.
In February they were supposed to have done a Head MRI and a Chest CT. They somehow got the orders mixed up and did a Head MRI and a Head CT - both were clear. We finally got the Chest CT made up today.
We were not home for too long when the oncology office started calling. The first time we did not get to the phone and they did not leave a message. Then they called again. Our doc, thankfully, was very much to the point. "We have a problem." he said. He went on. "Multiple 7-9mm 'tumor type' nodules visible in the lymph nodes and lungs."
Before calling us they had already talked with the surgeon. The surgeon won't cut into her without further tests as the areas are so "deep" that it is "going to do severe damage." He wants more confirmation tests on "what and where" he is going after.
Right now they are trying to schedule us for a CT/PET scan "as soon as possible" but it is now after 5:00 on Friday so we are pretty sure we won't hear anything until Monday.
It has definitely been a roller coaster week.

Unbelievable. Praying!
Thank you so much for having the strength to share such disturbing news. I wish hugs were transportable...Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you.

Not the news I was expecting when I checked in tonight...I was hoping that the eye patch issue was continuing to improve.
My heart hurts even considering the possiblities that you are facing. Please know that we care for all of you deeply and we will be sending many prayers to the ears of God on your behalf. Rebekah is such a precious girl!
Thinking of all of you...
I'm praying too, precious family.
Not the news I was expecting at all either.

God works miracles and there is one waiting for your sweet girl.
We will pray, pray, pray...Thank you for always sharing and keeping us updated. The Spidal's send their love to you.
More prayers being said.
We are here, lifting Rebekah up in prayer. Our hearts are heavy with yours, our thoughts are for you. May the LORD give your peace and comfort during this time. With Love, Tracey and the Boys
We are in Paris with the family, but you can bet that our thoughts are now with you. I have tears in my eyes and wish there was something I could do to make it all be okay. We will all be sending best wishes your way.
Praying now after a crying spell.
Oh, I can't even imagine. I wasn't expecting this, either. Please know that you'll be in our thoughts and prayers (I'll let my Sara know about this, as she really fell in love with your girls when we met last year), and I'll put you on the prayer chain through our church. Take care, and God bless you with strength and courage as you face this next battle.
You are all in my thoughts and prayers! Today, I looked at pictures from when you guys were in town, and I had to smile! The girls are precious. We love you and miss you.

Hi, I don't personally know your family, but I've been following Rebekah's journey for quite some time. I've felt compelled to comment many times, but being a "stranger" to y'all, I never have. However, today after I checked in, thought I would just add my prayers to everyone here. May God's peace be with you all!!
She's such a beautiful girl and you are such an amazing family. This is not the news any of us want to hear... and I know there's nothing I can say to make it better. We're watching, waiting and praying with you.

Believing with you in prayer!
God is on the throne - still!
He has Rebekah in the palm of His hand.
....praying continually for you all!
I will be praying for Rebekah and for God's perfect peace to comfort and guide you through this. Without a doubt He is the God of healing and miracles and my prayers will be for both of those things.
I have been following your journey for awhile without posting but I want you to know that your strength, faith and courage has been an inspiration to all. Although you don't know me and I haven't posted before you have been in my prayers and will continue to be. Thank you for sharing your story and letting your testimony be a guide for us all. Blessings, Beth
Your family is in my thoughts and prayers! Praying for the best outcome for Rebekah.
In His Love and Blessings,

I am praying for you! I just heard the news from Melenie. I have followed Rebekahs story for a long time now but not sure if I've commented before.
Praying for Rebekah daily. God bless you all.
