Meeting with Dr. Lynch

Kara and Matt met with Dr. Lynch yesterday. He continues to be pleased with Kara's progress. She will stay on her current treatment plan (chemo one week with just Avastin, the next week with Avastin and another drug), and they will repeat the scans at the end of the month.

Emma and Luke came to the farm this weekend as a birthday surprise for Mimi. We had a good time playing around the farm as usual, and went to a festival at a church in a small Czech community near La Grange, where the kids had fun listening to the polka band and playing games.

Kara kept Emma home from school on Monday for some special time while Luke stayed on at the farm. They went through all of Emma's trip photos and made some scrapbooks for Emma to remember it by.

Prayer Requests:
- Please pray for good scan results this month.
- Please pray that Kara can continue on her chemo regimen as planned.
- Please pray that the cancer be eradicated from Kara's body, permanently.

Thank you.

Hi Kara,
I am happy to hear that Dr. Lynch is pleased with your treatment regimen and results. :) It seems like you have had a little more energy lately; we are praying that your health will be completely restored soon. You brighten my day every time I see you! Have a wonderful week!
Love,

Hi Kara and family,

I'm so glad to see these good results! I've enjoyed reading about all the progress you've made, and the pictures of the kids are priceless. I wish I had a farm to go romp around in. Thanks for continuing to be an inspiration to me.

Howdy Folks!
We met Jim and Diana in the Great Smoky Mountains a few days ago. They make a wonderful set of Camp Hosts. We all sat and traded stories around the campfire for two nights near the river in Elkmont Campground. They are two very special people, and they spoke to us with love and understanding about your situation. Diana showed us your photos. Kate and I will include you in our prayers and thoughts. I will be sending a camp photo of Jim and Diana by e-mail shortly. If you would like a copy, you can let me know at: jcook56050@aol.com. I'll be more than happy to send you a digital copy for good memories. We certainly took some great memories from the campground, and we intend to join them at Elkmont again on June 15th to witness the very special sychronized firefly event (happens in only two places in the world).
God bless you and your family!
