About 8 weeks ago...

... we started down a roller coaster of a journey as Rebekah's last set of scans came out with what appeared to be cancerous spots throughout her lungs. A week later we then went for a different type of scan that didn't show the same "spots." All they could tell us was "we don't know and you need to give it 6-8 weeks and then we will scan again and see what is there."

Well,today we are at that scan again point. The girls are just stirring in their beds and soon we will be off to the hospital for a days worth of testing. Both girls wanted to sleep in their "hospital jammies" (kiddo gowns) so won't they be surprised at the hospital when Rebekah rolls up already in a gown...

These last weeks have been difficult to bear emotionally but there have been a lot (too many) things to keep us busy and our focus elsewhere. Now waiting for the results of these scans will be back to the fore front. We should hopefully know something next week and hopefully NOT before. No news is good news. "Come in now..." is bad news. Keep us all in your prayers please.

9:42 AM Update. Rebekah is now under. She did really good with directing everybody on what they needed to do and fussed a little more than usual over the IV but did "far better than we expected" said the Nurse. We have the delight of having Sue, the very first nurse Rebekah ever had when we were first diagnosed. We credit Sue for the fact that even this morning when we jokingly gave Rebekah the choice to go to the hospital or to Chucky Cheese she wanted to go to the hospital!

We had a bit of a time with with the CT staff. For 80+ anesthetics over the last 3 years Rebekah has gone to sleep in Daddy's arms. This time she said she wanted to do it "on her own like a big girl." So she went into the CT room in the nurses arms and Daddy waited outside the window. The CT tech tried to tell Daddy he couldn't be there. Daddy explained that he would be until Rebekah was under and that normally Daddy would have been IN the CT room. Although the tech didn't seem happy with that answer, Rebekah was out and Daddy was gone before it got any more difficult.
