In the Hospital

Kara began having seizures last night at home, and was taken to the hospital. It appears that she has had a stroke, and may have some impairment on one side of her body. She is stabilized and in the hospital right now. The plan is to go ahead with her PET scan today, and try to meet with Dr. Tay regarding treatment of the brain tumor that will hopefully reduce the vertigo she has been experiencing.

Prayer Requests:
- Please pray that Kara remains in stable condition.
- Please pray that the effects of the stroke diminish.
- Please pray for encouraging news from Dr. Tay.
- Please pray that the cancer be eradicated from her body, permanently.

Today is Matt's birthday. Please pray for continued strength for him as he helps Kara through this latest hospitalization.

Thank you.

Kara, Matt, and family,

We are praying for you daily! Today, our prayers are especially with you! Please remember that Jesus is carrying you when you see just one set of footprints in the sand. He is with you. May God guide you through this troubled time and may He heal you and provide Matt with a true b-day gift.

Love,
