Kara met with Dr. Teh, the doctor who performs the Novalis procedure, today. He feels that they can zap both the adrenal gland spot and the tumor on her lung with the Novalis, since they already have the body cast made. One day Kara will have the adrenal gland tumor radiated, and the next her lung tumor. She will probably have four rounds on each spot.
Kara and her family enjoyed the past weekend. Emma had a swimming lesson Saturday morning, and then we met with Uncle John and Aunt Carrie for a quick bite before Kara and I ran to the movies for a triple-header -- very fun. Then we all met up for dinner at Benihana's, which Emma got a big kick out of. Luke was a big boy and went to stay with Mimi and Doc at the farm all by himself. He had a fun time having Doc at his beck and call, running around to see the cows, being pushed on the swing, playing in "his" house (the playhouse).

Der Kara, The Novalis plans sound very promising and marvelously curative! How wonderful... Of course one of the great things is how you are making strides for all who come after you.

Hey, that blonde lady in the picture is beautiful! Gorgeous! Classy! Oh, wait, that's my daughter, ha ha.
Seriously, Kara, hang on. I'm sure your counts will go up. You are indeed a hero for your patience and strength.
Dear Kara, How good to know that you are ready with the body cast already for the Novalis to get both spots when the time is right! In the meantime continue to enjoy the summer activities and relaxing times with family and friends. It's so great to see the delightful pictures of the children enjoying themselves with so much wonderful attention from all their adoring adults! Please take good care of you being sure to get lots of rest and good nourishment while you can. Our prayers continue for your increased strength and keeping on keeping on day to day with the incredible faith and trust you show us so beautifully. Much love, Aunt Betsy
