Meeting with Lynch

Kara and Matt met with Doctor Lynch this morning to go over the test results and find out the new treatment plan. Doctor Lynch is very pleased with the results, and will plan on using Novalis on Kara's brain and lungs.

There will be a hearing on Thursday morning to determine whether Kara's insurance company has to pay for her Herceptin. Doctor Lynch recorded a statement for it, and will also try to make the hearing in person, because he believes it is a necessary part of her treatment plan -- she is often too worn down to take any other type of chemo drug. Please pray that the hearing board's decision is in Kara's favor, and that her insurance company starts paying for her Herceptin treatments.

Prayer Requests:
- Please pray for a favorable decision from the hearing board, so that the insurance company will begin paying for Herceptin for Kara.
- Please pray that the Novalis procedures go smoothly and without complications.
- Please pray for continued peace for Kara.
- Please pray that the cancer be eradicated from Kara's body, permanently.

Thank you. Emma started school yesterday, and Luke will start school later in the week. Both really enjoy going to school and playing with classmates. Emma is getting really good with her letters and likes to "play math" with Uncle John. She loves playing card games and checkers, and is good at keeping the rules straight in her head (especially the rule about the youngest player going first!). Luke is talking more and more, learning more words every day.

Are not 2 sparrows sold for a penny?Yet not 1 of them will fall to the ground apart from The Will of the Father.
So don't be afraid!You are worth more than many sparrows!
Matthew 10:29-31
"His Eye Is On The Sparrow"
I sing because I'm Happy!
I sing because I'm Free!
For His Eye is on the Sparrow
And I know He watches Me!

There came a leper and worshiped Jesus, saying:
"Lord, if You Will, You can make me clean."
Jesus put forth His hand and touched him saying:
"I WILL! BE THOU CLEAN!"
Immediately, his leprosy was cleansed.
Matthew 8:2,3

Saul on his journey to threaten and slaughter the disciples of Jesus near Damascus,suddenly a light from Heaven shone round about him! He fell to the ground; heard a voice saying:
"Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?"
Saul said, "Who are You, Lord?"
The Lord said, "I AM JESUS."
Saul,tembling, said, "Lord, what will You have me to do?"
The Lord said, "Arise! Go to the city. It will be told you what you must do."
The Lord told Ananias,"Go Saul's way, he is a chosen vessel to Me, to bear My Name before the Gentiles, kings, and the children of Israel."
Immediately, after Ananias laid hands on Saul, the scales fell from his eyes; Saul received sight and arose to be baptized. When he had received food he was strengthened.
Saul increased more in strength as he confounded the Jews; proving that JESUS IS THE CHRIST.
Acts 9
It is written:
Eye has not seen
Ear has not heard
Neither have entered into the heart of man
The things which God has prepared for them who love Him.
1Corinthians 2:9
PRAISE THE NAME OF JESUS!

Grrrr, insurance companies! Here's hoping they listen to reason this time.

We will keep praying that the insurance company sees the light. Kara, you have been so strong, keep the faith and God will see you through.
