Kara has been having some flashes of light in one of her eyes, and she has been scheduled to have scans performed on Tuesday. The cause may not be cancer-related, but they are going to rule that out first.
Thankfully, Kara was able to get her full chemotherapy this week -- both drugs.
Prayer Requests:
- Please pray for good scan results.
- Please pray that Kara's vision problem is easily fixed.
- Please pray that the cancer be eradicated from Kara's body, permanently.
Thank you.

Update
Kara will have some more bloodwork done tomorrow; please pray that her counts are up so that she can receive her full chemotherapy this week.
Emma and I had a great time at Disney World -- she enjoyed all the traditional rides (Dumbo, Teacups), tried a couple rollercoasters, and got a big kick out of having dinner in EPCOT. She was very excited to see her mommy, daddy, and especially Luke when we returned. Luke spent most of last week at the farm, and he felt like a very big boy -- feeding the cows, riding all over the property, and having a bonfire.
Prayer Requests:
- Please pray that Kara's bloodcounts are high enough for her to receive her full chemotherapy.
- Please pray for increased energy and strength for Kara.
- Please pray that the cancer be eradicated from Kara's body, permanently.
Thank you.

No Chemo Today
Kara's blood counts were too low for her to receive chemotherapy today. She was still able to receive the Avastin treatment. Emma and Aunt Jean are having a good time at Disneyworld. Emma called Luke after visiting the Animal Kingdom to share the experience with him. Luke has been at the farm with Mimi and Doc and has the place all to himself. He'll come home for the weekend to enjoy Mommy & Daddy's undivided attention. Emma and Aunt Jean will return Sunday.
Prayer Requests:
- Please pray that Kara's blood counts improve.
- Please pray that Kara will be able to resume chemotherapy next week.
- Please pray that the cancer be eradicated from Kara's body, permanently.
Thank you.

Update
Kara has been doing well this week, and hopes to get her full chemo on Friday. Last week she was able to proceed with her chemotherapy as planned (last week was one of the weeks when she only gets the one drug that does not deplete her white blood cells).
Emma and I leave for Walt Disney World tomorrow, and we are both very excited (please pray for safe travel for us)! Luke will get to spend some "big boy" time at the farm with Mimi and Doc, and he is thrilled about that. Kara and Matt will be able to enjoy some "couple time" to themselves.
Prayer Requests:
- Please pray that Kara is able to get her full chemotherapy this week.
- Please pray for increased energy and strength for Kara.
- Please pray that the cancer is eradicated from Kara's body, permanently.

Emma the Angler
Update
Kara has an appointment with Dr. Lynch tomorrow to discuss her progress and the next phase of her treatment.
We had a good Easter weekend at the farm. The weather wasn't what we were expecting, but we managed to have a lot of fun. The electricity went out for a couple of hours on Saturday, but came back on before it got too cold inside! Uncle John and Aunt Carrie had planned a short trip to Port Aransas, but found it was too cold and surprised us on Saturday afternoon by coming to the farm.
On Easter morning, the kids were up at 6:30 in the morning to see what the Easter Bunny brought them, and then we all went to First United Methodist Church in La Grange for Easter morning service. It quit raining and warmed up a bit on Sunday, so the kids spent most of the afternoon running around outside.
Prayer Requests:
- Please pray for a good report from Dr. Lynch on Tuesday.
- Please pray that Kara can continue her chemotherapy this week.
- Please pray that the cancer be eradicated from Kara's body, permanently.
Thank you.

Chemotherapy
Kara was able to get her full chemotherapy on Thursday. She's pretty tired from it, but very glad that the transfusion enabled her to stay on track with her treatment.
We are all at the farm for Easter. The weather here is really unseasonably cold and rainy -- it's 38 degrees! We're doing indoor activities today -- we dyed Easter Eggs and had a "trial run" Easter Egg hunt. Yesterday was a beautiful spring day, though, and we enjoyed running around outside, taking Bluebonnet photos and playing with the cows.
Prayer Requests:
- Please pray for energy for Kara so she can enjoy the holiday weekend.
- Please pray that Kara is able to continue with her treatment as scheduled.
- Please pray that the cancer is eradicated from Kara's body, permanently.
Thank you, and we hope you all have a very Happy Easter with your friends and family.
