No Chemo This Week

Kara's bloodcounts are too low for her to receive her regular carboplatinum chemo this week. She will just get her Herceptin shot this week.

Kara has another round of scans coming up on Monday, August 21st. We are all very hopeful for good results, so Kara can continue healing from the past year-plus of very hard treatment and enjoy the Fall and holidays with her family. We would really appreciate it if you could please ask your friends, family, churches, and prayer groups to pray for good test results for Kara.

"I lift my eyes up to the hills-
where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord
the Maker of Heaven and Earth"
Psalm 121:1

"For with God, nothing is impossible."
Luke 1:37

Prayer Requests:
- Please pray for good tests results for the upcoming tests.
- Please pray that Kara's bloodcounts improve so she can continue with her chemotherapy.
- Please pray for the cancer to be eradicated from Kara's body, permanently.

Thank you.

Kara, We are in your corner - all the way. We are praying for the better test results and IMPROVED BLOOD COUNT RESULTS!
Mom is having some health struggles but with your Aunt Betsy's help- she is greatly improved. Mom asks about you and tells me to make sure you know she prays for you.
Each day is a victory - remember - a victory. You are our hero. Love, Gem

Dropping to our knees, crying;
praying:

God, if you take Kara, that is Your
Will.
Thank you for the wonderful life
we've had with her.

But then again if You are not ready
for her yet
Give us the opportunity to love her
Care for her the way that she's
cared for us all our lives.

Thank you Jesus
We give You the Glory Forever.

Amen

Hi Kara,
We do agree with all of Jean's prayers as we trust you in the Lord's hands.
Psalm 35:27 states "The Lord be exalted, who delights in the well-being of his servant."
We trust the Lord as he directs you and Matt as His servants and we know He delights in your well-being.
Love,
Aunt Karen and Uncle Don

Dear Kara, How good to look forward to the upcoming tests Mon. to have affirmation of our Lord's healing power! Try to rest this week-end and remember how close He is and how many miracles He has already brought us this past year and 8 months. You are so strong and so faithful, Kara, in your beautiful witness of God's love and grace, and what a joy to see His continuing working in your dedicated young life. We continue to pray day and night for your ongoing trust and compliance and active participation in your full recovery to total health. We pray for John and Carol's awesome strength and total commitment to you and the family in ways that the rest of us can't even imagine. We pray for each family member to continue bringing you immeasurable hope and joy and peace as each one does his part with you and Matt and Emma and Luke. Enjoy and relax and have fun and enjoy all the wonderful moments of sharing and memory making esp. between now and Mon.! Love to all, Aunt Betsy
