Day 120
It’s been a few days and I’m sure I’ve kept a few of you on pins and needles. To be candid, I have been as well. Becca’s fever finally broke late Friday and she has been able to keep a little food down. That is a lot of progress for her. That let’s us know that the antibiotics are working, but she still has a long road ahead. She is still getting food via an IV and on a ton of different medications. They never really have determined where she got this or what exact type of bacterial meningitis it was, but that’s ok by me. Becca walked today for a little bit in the hospital and she was able to see the boys (masks and sanitizer). We couldn’t touch her or allow the boys to give her a hug, but just having us there for a brief moment was good for her spirits. We should know more tomorrow, as the CDC (Center for Disease Control) should be in to let us know where we are at.
This by far has been the most difficult time for us. It’s hard for us to see her this sick and feel this helpless. I know that it’s through everyone’s prayers and faith that she is getting better. 40 weeks of chemo seems long now, but soon this will be another learning experience we can share with those we love. Please keep the faith. We love you all.

I was so glad to see your post tonight. I have been so concerned for Rebecca and for you as well Randy. I can’t even fathom how helpless you must feel…..I know you love her so much and to see her in this condition makes my heart ache for you as well. The prayers are going up stronger than ever and I do know that blessings are being showered down as well….even though you might not be able to see them so well right now. Your faith is amazing to me…..and I do know that someday…not to far away this will be an experience that both you and Rebecca will be past and able to lift others with your understanding and experience. Thanks for your example of endurance and love. Thank you for taking the time to keep us posted and to let us share in your journey. I know that at times it must be hard to keep us updated. we love the Gibbons Family. Keep holding on to that perfect brightness of hope as you remember what you have been promised. Please tell Rebecca how much I love and miss her. I am so sad she won’t be coming home as hoped….but that must mean that Heavenly Father knows she needs to be there to get the very best care. With love and many many prayers…..Lori Mower
