Dear All
I just wanted to post a short update at the moment to ask you to continue to pray for Rebekah. She has just started her fourth week of steroids and immunosuppressants drugs. So far she has not had too many bad side effects, although there have been some pretty difficult days over this period. We now have our very hungry daughter back and I am considering putting locks on the cupboard doors to keep her out.
We are very grateful to God that to date Rebekah has managed to continue to go to school and was one of the narrators in her christmas nativity last week. She had to say one sentence which she did very well indeed.
These past four weeks have probably for Jillian and I been the most difficult believe it or not since this all began. I think the full impact of what is going on has hit us afresh and we have been really struggling to cope with it all. Jillian was signed off her work again last week and I am hoping that she will be able to go back to work soon. I know I feel I have been running on empty most of the time.
Part of the problem is that we are in what I term no-mans land just now as we have a lot of questions for the consultants unanswered, but also until we get the next brain scans done which we are told maybe before Christmas but equally it may be just after we don't really know if the drugs are actually working. We will see the consultant next Wednesday (16th) which will hopefully provide us with some information.
We appreciate your support and prayers for us as a family more than you will know. I think it is also good to remember that we do have a God who hears and answers prayers. Our prayer for the end of this year and the start of the new one is that the Lord will heal our daughter and that we will have a much better 2010 than this year has been.
Thank you once again for your support.
Jonathan, Jillian, Abigail, Rebekah and David
