Today is Kara's thirty-third birthday! I am blessed to have such a caring, thoughtful sister, who is a wonderful example to me of of the importance of faith and the power of hope. Kara has approached her treatment with such amazing fight and an admirable spirit, and throughout it all, has not let her illness be the focus of her life, remaining as concerned for others, especially her children, as she always has.
We had a family celebration for Kara's birthday over Thanksgiving when we were all together at the farm. Emma and Luke had a great time over the long weekend, feeding the cows, running around in the Gator, and playing in the playroom with all of our old toys. I will post some photos tonight.
Kara continues to feel more like herself, though she still struggles with low energy. She will keep on the Avastin for a few more weeks, and then they will run another set of scans.
Kara is looking forward to a busy holiday season with lots of activities with the kids. Please pray that her energy holds and she doesn't come down with any more bugs or infections so she can fully participate in and enjoy the upcoming festivities.
Prayer Requests:
- Please pray for increased energy and better health for Kara.
- Please pray for good spirits, peace, and a continued sense of hope for Kara.
- Please pray for insurance company approval of Avastin.
- Please pray that the cancer be eradicated from Kara's body, permanently.
Thank you.

Dear Kara, Jean indeed does express for all of us how we feel about our Kara! How wonderful to start your 33rd year with a great celebration at the farm-with the family surrounding you in such a beautiful scenic spot and with such gorgeous weather! You continue to do a wonderful job with the children and to participate so animatedly in all family activities-and you truly are an inspiration to me and a blessing to witness the power of prayer in action so dramatically. It has to be so hard, dear Kara, but how magnificently you celebrate each day and enjoy your Luke and Emma! Jean's photos are priceless and so indicative of your wonderful influence on both little ones. Take good care of you this week-end and know youare so loved and cared for and prayed for now more than ever. Much love, Aunt Betsy
