Kara has had a cough for quite some time now, and with pain in her chest. She went to the doctor yesterday, and he determined she had pleurisy, which is an inflammation of the lungs. It should go away in time. She is also on medication for bronchitis, in case she has a little of that working on her, too. Despite the discomfort, Kara isn't letting it get her down.
Prayer Requests:
- Please pray that the Novalis continues on schedule and goes smoothly.
- Please pray that Kara's bloodcounts stay where they should be so that she can resume chemotherapy.
- Please pray that the pleurisy resolves quickly.
- Please pray that the cancer is 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.

Jesus says --
PRESS ON!
Just as the woman with the issue of blood PRESSED THROUGH the crowd to touch the hem of his garment for her healing
That I may know Him; the Power of His Resurrection; the Fellowship of His Sufferings.
This 1 thing I do --
Forgetting those things which are behind
Pressing toward those things which are before
Press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling
Philippians 3:10,13,14
Dear Kara,
I'm sorry to hear about the inflammation in your lungs. Hopefully, it will clear up quickly so that you can enjoy the weekend! God bless you!
Love,
Leslie
Dear Kara, Please remember how constantly you are thought of and prayed for especially as you go through the Novalis and the treatment for the pleurisy! I'm so glad you have a diagnosis for the cough and are taking care of it, since it can wear you down so if it persists. Hopefully your treatments are going well otherwise and you're looking forward to your upcoming vacation with the family. Stay rested and well-nourished and strong and positive, knowing that His plan is proceeding for you and your complete return to full strength and complete health. Much love, Aunt Betsy
Be gone with you, plurisy. We're movin' in, and there's not room for both of us. See ya in a few days. Kara, don't forget, you have the light of God within you, and He is taking care of your needs.
Love, Diane and Jim
Hi Kara,
We continue to stand on the Lord's Word, trusting Him for your complete healing. We thank Him step by step as you continue to "fight the good fight of faith and lay hold on eternal life," day by day persevering.
I Timothy 6:12
We love you,

Kara,
We went to Chain-O-Lakes again this weekend with the boys and other family members. I thought of you while we were there. It would be fun to go there together and celebrate your full recovery. I have such faith that the Lord is going to completely remove this cancer from your body! I loved the picture taken at Port Aransas...how cute! I'm glad you had such a nice time despite the heat...cooler weather is on it's way!
Abundant blessings ~
Love,
Wendy, Rob, Chase & Chance Miller
P.S. Give Matt, Emma and Luke our love too!
