Kara has been having occasional starbursts and headaches again, and will be going in for an MRI of her brain on Monday. Please pray that the scan reveals no new growth in her brain.
Kara should begin Novalis next week. She has had the body cast made, and will be ready to go once the doctors tell her what the schedule will be.
Kara has begun her new chemotherapy, and it is a pill that she can take at home, which is very convenient. I believe she is off of the Avastin that she usually gets once a week until after the Novalis has been completed.
Kara, Matt, and the kids have had a nice weekend at home. Aunt Jean got to take Emma and Luke to a movie, dinner, and have them spend the night at the apartment with her, while Matt and Kara went to their friends' anniversary party.
Prayer Requests:
- Please pray for good results with Kara's MRI.
- Please pray that Kara's new chemotherapy is successful, and Kara tolerates it well.
- Please pray that Kara's Novalis can begin soon, and goes smoothly and succesfully.
- Please pray that the cancer be eradicated from Kara's body, permanently.
Thank you!
In February 2005, Kara was diagnosed with a rare form of metastatic brain cancer – large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma. She is a devoted mother of two, and a caring and generous wife, sister and daughter. This blog was started to keep family and friends informed of Kara's progress. The thoughts and prayers Kara has received through this blog have been an unending source of hope and inspiration, including many kind and encouraging comments from people she has never met. We thank you all.

Hi Kara,
I'm sorry to hear that the headaches have returned; I will pray that they can find something to make that stop. We will pray for you tomorrow for the MRI and good results.
Love,
Leslie
In those days was Hezekiah sick.
The Prophet, Isaiah came to him.
Isaiah gave him the message from The Lord.
Hezekiah turned his face to the wall
prayed to The Lord.
"I beseech You, O Lord,
Remember now how I have walked
before You in truth; with a perfect
heart.
I have done that which is good
in Your sight."
The Lord answered
"I have heard your prayer.
I have seen your tears.
I will heal you.
On the 3rd day, you will go up
to the House of The Lord.
I will add to your days 15 years.
I will deliver you; this city
out of hand of the king of Assyria
I will defend this city for
mine own sake;
for my servant David's sake."
Hezekiah said to Isaiah
"What will be the sign that The Lord will heal me?"
Isaiah said
"This sign will you have of The Lord that The Lord will do the thing that He has spoken. Shall the shadow go forward 10 degrees; or go back 10 degrees?"
Hezekiah answered
"Let the shadow return backward
10 degrees."
Isaiah, the prophet, cried to The Lord
The Lord brought the shadow 10 degrees backward.
2 Kings 20:1-11
PRAISE YOU JESUS!
How You Love Your Children!
How You Love Righteous!
Bless You Father!
If You did this for Hezekiah because he ask
You will do it for Kara because she asks it of You.
Glory to Jesus!
Kara, we pray that the headaches will subside and that you receive a good report from the MRI. We pray for God's continued watchcare over you and all those you love. Love,
The Sullivans

Dear Kara,
Today we pray that the Holy Spirit would come upon you, comforting you and clothing you just as He did for Gideon, as Gideon faced the Midianites (Judges 6). May you know that the Lord is Peace, as Gideon declared.
May His peace fill you today and in the days to come, as you know with all hope and confidence that He is healing you and restoring your strength.
We love you,
Gina and Curby
