Kara had her last Novalis treatment today. Getting those treatments really tires her, so she is glad to have them completed. She hopes to regain more energy and strength, and be able to communicate and use her right side better. Her mind is sharp, and it is very frustrating and embarrassing for her to not be able to speak clearly.
She seems to be tolerating her chemotherapy very well, and is able to eat more, without nausea issues. She also believes that the dizziness is dissipating.
Emma continues to enjoy kindergarten, and Luke returned to pre-school today. They never fail to bring a smile to Kara's face, as both like to curl up and cuddle with Kara. Luke, after visiting NASA, is all about rockets and spaceships now, and he will climb on the couch with Kara and take her for an imaginary ride on his rockets. He misses Emma on the days she is at school and he isn't, and the highlight of his day is going to pick Emma up from school. Emma is getting used to the idea that her new cousin is going to be a boy, and not a girl. When asked why the cousin isn't here yet, she answers sweetly, "Because God isn't finished wrapping him."
Kara and the family had many visitors over the weekend, and their company and prayers were very uplifting. Kara continues to get many cards and expressions of encouragement, which mean the world to her.
Prayer Requests:
- Please pray for continued peace and confidence for Kara, that she can keep doubt and fear away.
- Please pray for Kara's recovery from the effects of her treatment and stroke.
- Please pray that Kara continues to tolerate her chemotherapy well.
- Please pray that the cancer be eradicated from Kara's body, permenantly.
Thank you so much.

Dear Kara,
I am so happy to hear that you have improved so much in the last few days! That is really wonderful news. We are continuing to pray for complete healing and restoration of health. Please let us know if we can do anything for you.
Take care and God bless,

Luke and "outer pace"...who knew it would have such an effect on him when we visited NASA. We learned that astronauts say "lift off, Houston, we have lift off" instead of "blast off", so I say to you Kara, lift off out of your fears, lift into the trusting hands of God, let Him deliver the wonderful blessing of a healing miracle to you, keep the landing site ready,
Love, gramma and grampa
