Dr. Lynch has seen Kara this morning, and he feels that the effects of the stroke -- impairment of speech and her ability to use her left side -- may resolve in the next 24-hours or so. She is mentally aware, but cannot verbalize her thoughts well. Dr. Tay will meet with them at 2:30 to go over the PET Scan results and what the plan will be regarding treatment of any brain tumors. Dr. Lynch has also requested another MRI.
Kara is resting in between scans and visits from doctors. She has been moved to a room in the Oncology ward.
Please see below for Kara's prayer needs. 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.

Love you Kara,

Dear Kara, What an incredible 24 hours you and Matt and the family have had and how I hope you are comfortable and resting well while your medical team makes some momentous management decisions which hopefully will reverse the stroke effects and prevent further seizure activity. It's a very difficult time for you once again waiting for the healing to come in a visible form. May you somehow have His peace and know that our Lord is all powerful always. My prayers continue for your response to the treatments you're being given and for you to be able to sleep and truly rest while His work is being done to you and through you, our precious Kara. Love to all on this special day, Aunt Betsy
