Kara had her bloodwork done this morning, and based upon where her counts are, she will have chemotherapy tomorrow. Even if her counts are not high enough for her to receive her platinum-based chemotherapy, she will get her Herceptin shot.
Kara was pretty tired over the weekend from getting the platinum-based chemo again. She seems to feel better when she has a swim in the morning, so she tries to take the kids to the pool as much as she can.
Kara will have a brain and body PET Scan performed on August 21st. Please keep her in your prayers for good test results.
Prayer Requests:
- Please pray that Kara's counts are where they need to be for her to continue with her chemotherapy and for her to stay strong and energized.
- Please pray for insurance company approval of the Herceptin.
- Please pray for good results on the upcoming PET Scan.
- Please pray that the cancer is eradicated from Kara's body, permanently.
Thank you.

Hi Kara,
We thank Jean for sharing these cute photos from your trip to Port Aransas and are so glad you all had a fun, restful time.
We are encouraged that you are able to receive the chemo and trust that all the cancer will be eradicated from your body.
"Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God." Eph 5:2

Much love,

The Angel of the Lord appeared to Gideon and said to him:
"THE LORD IS WITH YOU!"
Gideon said to the Angel of the Lord:
"O my Lord, if the Lord be with us why then is all this befallen us? And where are all His miracles which our fathers told us of saying,'Did not the Lord bring us up from Egypt?' But now the Lord has forsaken us; delivered us into the hands of the Midianites."
The Lord looked on Gideon and said:
"GO IN THIS YOUR MIGHT; YOU WILL SAVE ISRAEL FROM THE HAND OF THE MIDIANITES.
HAVE NOT I SENT YOU?"
Gideon said to God:
"O my Lord, how can I save Israel?
My family is poor!
I am the least in my father's house."
God said:
"I WILL BE WITH YOU.
YOU WILL SMITE THE MIDIANITES
AS 1 MAN.
PEACE BE UNTO YOU.
FEAR NOT!
YOU WILL NOT DIE!"
Judges 6:11-24
Father, as Kara reads Your Word may she know Your Presence, Your Love, Your Strength; Your Peace just as Gideon did. Just as You loved Gideon; chose him so You will be with her.
Glory to His Holy Name -
The Name above ALL Names!
JESUS IS WORTHY!
Dear Kara, Hope you're enjoying the week-end with the family-swimming and just being together while your body continues to heal and recover from that last chemo! You're so very special to all of us and your determination is truly amazing; your faith and trust give us inspiration each and every day, as does your willingness to follow Dr. Lynch and team's guidance with the treatments. Please remember how dear you are to us and how our prayers now more than ever never cease. Our Lord has you in His hands and takes such wonderful care of you and yours each moment awake or asleep, and how grateful we are for all His marvelous blessings to us. Much love, Aunt Betsy
