Feeling so Thankful this week


This week we want to let you all know the things we (Rebekah and I) are thankful for. In the LDS church there is a song we sing often, "Count Your Blessings" ( http://ldshymnbook.com/hymns/241/count-your-blessings ) so I thought it might be appropriate while things are going pretty good to count them so that when things aren't so great I will have a nice list I can look at.
I am thankful ...
1.  for a husband who is willing to do whatever it takes to get through all of this, including dishes and laundry and loving me even with my moodiness, he truly is awesome.
2.  for a ward that fasts and prays, knits hats, makes beautiful blankets and is full of people willing to help in anyway we might need.
3.  that we no longer live 30 mins away from my Mother in Law's house.
4. for so many friends their prayers and loving thoughts as well as the hats and fun gifts for Rebekah and the boys
5. that we were able to see a doctor who didn't believe the first ultrasound
6.  for laughs
7.  for Rebekah's smiles
8.  That we live fairly close to Primary Children's
9.  For the power port ( I know it kind of sucks but it's way better then an IV)
10. for our old ward's support and love as well
11. bleach
12. A loving Heavenly Father who watches out for her


Rebekah is thankful for...
1.  Alisha's Cupcakes  (she just ate part of one so that's on her mind)
2.  Adventure Time
3.  Hats from friends
4.  Warm Pajamas
5.   Nice blankets people have made and the ones people have sent
6.  Tubie (her NG tube)
7.  Some foods that didn't change tastes with the chemo
8.  All the things
9.  all the doctors at the hospital and the ones that come to our house. (doctors include nurses, she hasn't made a distinction yet)
10. My daddy and his kugs

I may have to comeback and add as I have more time to think on this.
This week is Eval week she will have a bone scan and a CT on Thursday (4/ 11/2013) to see how the tumor is responding to treatment. Next week we start a new cycle and 2 new chemo drugs. She has to be inpatient at the hospital so she won't be too happy about that.
Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers,
Autumn
