Valentine's Day is one of Kara's favorite holidays, and she and the kids have been making Valentine's art projects and goodies in anticipation of the big day. They were baking Valentine's cookies this afternoon. We're so thankful that she has the energy to do all the fun stuff she likes to do with the kids.
Kara will have bloodwork done tomorrow, and we're hoping that her counts will be high enough to continue with a third week of full chemo in a row on Friday.
Kara and Matt enjoyed their little break in Waco, though it was pretty cold for Kara! Luke had a big time at the farm, and Emma came up to Austin -- John, Carrie, and I took her to Pedernales Falls State Park, and she had a blast rock climbing, exploring, and seeing her first rattlesnake (it was actually all of our first time to see a rattlesnake!).
Prayer Requests:
- Please pray that Kara can have full chemo this week.
- Please pray that Kara's upcoming scans are good.
- Please pray that the cancer is eradicated from Kara's body, permanently.
Thank you.

Hi Kara,
Happy Valentine's Day (yesterday)! Sounds like you had a lot of fun with cookies and valentines. :) I hope that your bloodwork stuff today goes well and that your counts are good to go for chemo tomorrow. Take care!
Love,
Leslie
Praying for good bloodwork. Glad you had fun with the kids on V-Day! We spent the day digging out here in PA. Hope you can feel our love coming your way.
Kara, I can hear your laughter with the children as you prepared for Valentines and all the fun activities associated with this totally fun holiday.
All of these great reports about your progress with the chemo!! Wow.. This current chemo has been such a successful treatment course and we cannot be more grateful. Please feel our hugs and love coming your way. Gem
Hi Kara, Matt, and kids,
We are glad you all had a fun Valentine's Day and want to share with you a poem a friend sent us this week:
The U in Jesus
Before U were thought of or time had begun,
God stuck U in the name of His Son.
And each time U pray, you'll see it's true,
You can't spell out JesUs and not include U.
You're a pretty big part of His wonderful name,
For U, He was born; that's why He came.
And His great love for U is the reason He died.
It even takes U to spell crUcified.
Isn't it thrilling and splendidly grand He rose from the dead, with U in His plan?
The stones split away, the gold trUmpet blew, and this word resUrrection is spelled with a U.
When JesUs left earth at His upward ascension,
He felt there was one thing He just had to mention.
"Go into the world and tell them it's true
That I love them all - Just like I love U."
We thank the Lord for His love for U all!
We trust Him to uphold you Kara and provide the continued treatment you need.
Love,
Aunt Karen and Uncle Don
Hooray for today! Thank you for chemo three weeks in a row, lots of blood cells, time for rest, and wonderful valentine cards.
All our love from snow covered Topeka, Gramma and Grampa
