Doctor's Appt Tonight

Kara meets with her oncologist tonight to go over the latest test results and determine the next phase of treatment. We will let you know what is decided when we know.

Kara is getting stronger every day, but is still very weak. She has no appetite, and pretty much just takes sips of lemonade and Boost throughout the day, with the occasional nibble on "real" food. Nothing really sounds appetizing to her, and often the stuff that does will upset her stomach, so she can't eat it. She can walk farther than she's been able to in a while, and went to church without having to use the assistance of a walker or wheelchair.

Kara enjoyed visits with family and friends over the weekend. We took Emma to get our nails done, and then continued the girls' night with dinner at Prince's, a fun hamburger place in Houston. Kara and Matt had a movie date on Sunday after church. So Kara was able to get out and do a bit more than she has been lately.

Prayer Requests:
- Please pray for encouraging news from her doctor tonight.
- Please pray for increased strength and diminished side effects for Kara before her surgery.
- Please pray for comfort and peace for Kara as she faces two major surgeries in the coming months.
- Please pray that that cancer is eradicated from her body, permanently.

Thank you for your prayers and your loving support of Kara through this trying time.

Kara, Our thoughts and prayers are with you as you approach this very important visit with your physician. Each day you are proving your determination to do what ever is necessary to beat this thing and every day you are stronger and closer to getting it done.
None of us could begin to understand what you have already endured and what you will tolerate to reach the restored health goal.
Thank you for teaching us what true faith in our Lord Jesus Christ can really be. Hugs, Gem
