Transfusion Today

Kara received a blood transfusion today to help with her low bloodcounts. This week she will just receive the Avastin, and hopefully she will be able to receive both drugs next week as scheduled.

We all had a fun time at the farm for Mother's Day -- it was great porch weather! Kara and the kids camped out in a tent on the yard on Saturday night, and both of the "city" kids were amazed by all the sounds. Emma even said she could hear the lightning bugs turning their lights on and off! Luke wore his camouflage pajamas so that the bears couldn't see him. Emma and Luke had made Kara some sweet Mother's Day presents at school.

Kara has another set of scans coming up at the end of the month. Please keep her in your prayers for good results.

Prayer Requests:
- Please pray for good results for Kara's scans.
- Please pray that Kara can receive her full chemotherapy next week.
- Please pray that the cancer be eradicated from her body, permanently.

Thank you.

Dear Kara,

We hope that the transfusion went well yesterday and that you're resting today. It sounds like you had a wonderful Mother's Day weekend, complete with a fun campout on Saturday...the kids' insights are very entertaining!

We continue to pray for your complete healing and anticipate with joy all that God is going to do.

Love,
Gina and Curby

Hi Kara,

Sounds like you had a great Mother's Day at the farm...especially camping on the front lawn. :) I hope that the transfusion was complication-free and gave you a good energy boost! Have a great weekend and we will see you Sunday!
Love,
Leslie

Hi from Grandma and Grampa in the Great Smokies. Oh if only the kids could be here, camping with us. We will look forward to camping with them in August. All our love and prayers for continued healing and positive thinking.
