A Very Merry Christmas

Kara and the family enjoyed a very happy Christmas together last week. We went to the children's Christmas Eve service at her church, which had a nice Christmas morning service as well. Emma serenaded us with her ever-improving rendition of "Hark, the Herald Angels Sing!"

Emma's just beginning to get to the age where she understands the concept of Santa and his bringing presents to celebrate Jesus's birthday, and Luke is old enough now to open his own presents and get really excited about them.

We had a very nice holiday, and it was so good to get to celebrate the miracle of Christmas together!

Kara will hear from her radiotherapist this week, we think, and he will tell her what he wants to do about the spots on her lungs. Kara anticipates that he will go ahead and do the Novalis, since it is such an easy procedure without harsh side effects.

Prayer Requests:
- Please pray that Kara's neuropathy and stamina continue to improve.
- Please pray that the cancer be permanently eradicated from Kara's body.

Thank you for your commitment to Kara and her progress. You have made 2005, which was a year of so much anxiety and fear for us, so much better with your prayers, words of encouragement and love, and other acts of kindness for Kara. We hope you all have a very happy and healthy 2006.

Dear Kara,

I'm so glad that you all had a joyful Christmas together, even if it was too warm! :)

We're so encouraged by your positive attitude and your boundless faith. We love you and are praying for you, knowing that you will receive clear direction on further treatment.
