Update
Kara enjoyed a quiet weekend at home with Matt and the kids. She was not able to receive chemotherapy last week due to her bloodcounts being too low, and she is feeling the effects of the low counts -- tired and easily fatigued. Friday night the family went to Benihana again, this time with Mimi, Doc, and Luke joining us. Luke was mildly terrified in the beginning, but grew to enjoy the show. Emma has pronounced Benihana as her favorite restaurant, surpassing "even McDonalds and Chickfila!" Kara had a good morning with Emma and Luke at the pool Saturday morning, and then Luke and Matt went to get lunch and haircuts, and Kara, Emma, and I had pizza and then an afternoon of playing games (Emma has learned how to play rummy with special animal rummy cards!) and reading books. Emma is very excited to learn how to play checkers with Doc, who was the checkers champion of Dallas when he was a boy! Luke continues to learn new words every day, and he's getting sweeter and sweeter.
Prayer Requests:
- Please pray that Kara's bloodcounts improve and that she can receive chemotherapy this week.
- Please pray for good test results for her August 21st tests.
- Please pray for insurance company approval of her Herceptin, which is the only drug Kara can take when her bloodcounts are too low for full chemo.
- Please pray that the cancer be eradicated from Kara's body, permanently.
Thank you. Kara has been truly touched by the words of encouragement here on the blog and the cards and notes people continue to send her. They really brighten her day!

Hi Kara,
It was so wonderful seeing you while in Houston. I loved being home and miss Houston. The kids love being there also. You are continously in our prayers. May God continue to protect you and surround you with love and support. Your faith continues to amaze me and is truly beautiful. By the way, my Aunt and cousins in Joplin are the Keisners. My Aunt is Katie, and my cousins are Karla, Kim, Kevin, Kelly and Kay-kay. I hope your blood count returns soon and praying for good results on the 21st.
Love,
Jacque Willardson

GOD SENT HIS WORD AND HEALED ALL;
WE SEND HIS WORD TO KARA
KARA, CHILD OF GOD, BE HEALED IN JESUS NAME!
Jesus returned to the Sea of Galilee, climbed a hill; sat there.
A vast crowd brought Him their lame, blind, maimed, those who couldn't speak; many others.
They laid them before Jesus.
JESUS HEALED THEM ALL
What a spectacle it was!
Those who hadn't been able to say a word before - were talking excitedly!
Those with missing arms; legs had new ones!
The crippled were walking; jumping around!
Those who had been blind were gazing about them!
The crowds marveled
PRAISED THE GOD OF ISRAEL.
Matthew 16:29-31
Hi Kara,
We are grateful that you and Matt and Emma and Luke had a restful weekend with Jean and Mimi and Doc. What fun for Emma to learn to play checkers with her granddad!
We contiue to trust you in the Lord's hands as He is in full control of your healing.
"We wait in hope for the Lord; He is our help and our shield.
In Him our hearts rejoice,for we trust in His Holy name.
May Your unfailing love rest upon us, O Lord, even as we put our hope in You." Psalm 33:20-22
Love,
Aunt Karen and Uncle Don
Hi Kara, I loved seeing MiMi with Luke and Emma last week. They are so darling and you have done a wonderful job of raising them (with a little help from all those Grands.) Hope your counts are up soon. So thankful that you have had some time for fun and trips to environs. Much love, prayer, hugs, jan and fred
