Kara Update Friday afternoon.

First, thank you everyone for your prayers and kind words! We are very blessed and encouraged to know so many are praying for Kara and us.

Second, I wanted to give an update on Kara's situation. (Picture from last night)



Kara is comfortable and stable. Her blood oxygen levels were low this morning and she needed intubation. The doctors installed a breathing tube with a respirator. The mass had inflated and was creating pressure on her right lung which reduced the amount of oxygen she was getting. She is breathing well and getting the oxygen she needs now. She does need some sedation. She is fighting the breathing tubes and heal pricks. Our little fighter!

Now we wait. The doctors are hoping the mass will stabilize and reduce in size. The main concern is the mass, if enlarged, will create too much pressure on the right lung (good lung) and the heart.

Please continue to pray for the doctor's wisdom and that we would be content with the circumstances God has brought us to. "Our hope is in the Lord, who gave Himself for Me, and paid the price for all my sins on Calvary"
