Rebekah - NED

We saw the oncologist today to follow up on last weeks scans. All of the scans (MRI, Panorex, and Chest Xray) look stable (no significant changes from previous scans). So that means No Evidence of Disease (NED) which is a good thing. Doc didn't have the results from the heart tests so he will work on getting those for us.

Rebekah has, for the last few days, had a red puffy eye. Starting last Friday she was sneezing, but that has changed into green goop in her nose with her nose running. The oncologist didn't like what he was seeing there.

I talked to the oncologist about the eye and nose. And explained to him that we were scheduled to have Rebekah's hearing tested tomorrow and see the ENT. He said he would cancel the hearing test. He did suggest that we see the ENT and get his advice on the eye and nose issues. The oncologist wrote a prescription for an antibiotic, but said we should talk to the ENT first and make sure he thought it was appropriate. So I'll need to cancel the hearing test, but keep the ENT appointment. Something to do first thing in the morning.

Because of the cold, we took some of our own toys for Rebekah to play with. Rebekah picked them out last night. She did a really good job of sitting in a chair and playing with her things and listening to Mommy when Mommy said she couldn't play with some of the toys there and she couldn't go into the playroom, etc... Mommy was very proud of her.

Life is interesting when Mommy is taking Rebekah to doctor's appointments. If we are at a hospital, Mommy can get help from the Valet staff or Security or Transportation to get the wheelchair out of the van. Both Rebekah and Sarah are doing a better job of staying with Mommy and not running off ahead. So at least at this point Mommy can still take Rebekah to her appointments. One step at a time...

Tonight as the girls were getting ready for bed, Mommy asked Sarah to help her out. Sarah took an empty laundry basket into the laundry room and got the clothes out of the dryer and then took the clothes out of the washer and put them into the dryer and then brought Mommy the basket full of clean/dry clothes. She really likes to help Mommy. Mommy appreciates the help both girls give. They both like to take Mommy's dishes to the sink or get something for Mommy. They are definitely big helpers.
