Kara began another round of chemo on Friday, when she had her second full eight-hour chemotherapy session. Next week and the week after she'll go in for a shorter chemo session.
She and Matt and the kids wento to the big Houston rodeo on Saturday and saw all the animals and enjoyed a concert. On Sunday, Kara and the kids left for the farm to spend their Spring Break while Matt stayed behind to work on some work projects. Emma and Luke have had a great time running around the farm. Emma drives around in the Gator while Luke chases after her pushing a small buggy that is his new favorite toy. We took bluebonnet photos and visited the Miniature Horse Farm at St. Claire's Monastery in Brenham yesterday. Emma and Luke got a kick out of the tiny horses.
Kara has been feeling more fatigued after this past round of chemotherapy, but other than that she continues to tolerate this treatment better than the in-patient treatment she had last year.
Prayer Requests:
- Please pray that Kara continues to tolerate chemotherapy well.
- Please pray that the cancer be eradicated from Kara's body, permanently.
Thank you.
In February 2005, Kara was diagnosed with a rare form of metastatic brain cancer – large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma. She is a devoted mother of two, and a caring and generous wife, sister and daughter. This blog was started to keep family and friends informed of Kara's progress. The thoughts and prayers Kara has received through this blog have been an unending source of hope and inspiration, including many kind and encouraging comments from people she has never met. We thank you all.

Dear Kara and family- glad you are enjoying the break at the farm. Know the kids love it. Hope your strength returns soon and that you can get back to your activities. Hugs to all, jan
Well Kara I have to trust in our all knowing Saviour; rest in Him when I read from Sis Jean that you are in the country breathing the fresh - no smog - country air, eating Mom's Country Homecooking, Emma and Luke running free - right in the middle of the Blue Bonnets! That is pretty close to Heaven .......
Thank you Jesus for this glorious time You are bestowing on Kara. Father, I claim in Your Precious Name for Kara Your Faithful Promise Forever -
Behold, I make all things new!
Revelation 21:5
YOU ARE THE AWESOME GOD!
Dear Kara, How good to hear that you and the children are enjoying spring break at the farm! I'm so happy that Rnd II is over and that you're tolerating it well. This is such a beautiful time of year and what a blessing to be able to be outdoors with the bluebonnets and IPB's. No doubt Luke and Emma are great helps with the spring planting and new house raising. Can't wait to see recent photos of you all at the farm and at the Houston fat stock show and rodeo! Take wonderful care of your very special selves and "smell the roses" and remember that you're in my thoughts and prayers more each day. Much love to all, Aunt Betsy
Hey Kara, glad you are doing well. We are all still praying for you and relying on God to see you through the rest of the treatments. Enjoy the Texas weather, it's still cold here in PA!
Hi Kara and all,
We are so very glad to hear that your outpatient chemo is going smoothly. How thankful we are that this has been more tolerable and we trust you are regaining your strength and enjoying springtime on the farm.
Give everyone hugs for us.
We love you and continue to keep you in our prayers,
Aunt Karen and Uncle Don
