Novalis Completed

Kara had her last round of Novalis yesterday, and it went smoothly. The oncological radiologist who performed her Novalis was very upbeat and encouraging in their last meeting. Kara will have more scans in about six-to-eight weeks to recheck her liver.

Kara continues with chemotherapy on Thursday. Thursday will be her "long day" of treatment, and then over the next two weeks she will return for more brief treatments.

Matt's mom is in Houston this week having fun spoiling Emma and Luke and will be able to spend Easter with the family.

Praises:
- Thank you God for a complication-free completion of the Novalis.
- Thank you God for the new technology and skilled physicians that have helped Kara fight the cancer.
- Thank you God, as we look to Easter, for the gift of your Son and the gift of hope.

Prayer Requests:
- Please pray that Kara tolerates her chemotherapy well.
- Please pray for increased energy for Kara, so she can enjoy the holiday with her family.
- Please pray that the cancer is eradicated from Kara's body, permanently.

Thank you.

Dear Kara,
I'm glad to hear that the Novalis went so well. :) I will be praying that your chemo goes well today too and that you don't have any nausea afterwards. Have a wonderful Easter!
Love,
