Procedure tomorrow

"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction so that we will be able to comfort those who are in any affliction with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God." - 2 Cor 1:3-4

Kara had a great day! The doctors turned her ventilator down even lower today and her blood gas was excellent. They are very confident that she is at the best place to handle a procedure. They have scheduled the surgery for 10/10:30am. The surgeons will be removing the mass. Again we appreciate your petition on our behalf before the Sovereign Lord.



- Pray for Kara's physical strength.
- Pray for the Surgeon's ability to properly identify the limits of the mass.
- Pray for the Surgeon's clarity of thought during the procedure.
- Pray for Kara's stability during her recovery, which will be several weeks.



Connor and Katie have really enjoyed the animals at Children's Hospital. Anytime Katie hears us speak of the hospital she says, with hands outstretched, "We are going to SEE THE ELEPHANTS!!" The trip is not complete until she pats, hugs, and kisses the elephants at the entrance.




We will have more time to update tomorrow during the surgery. We love you all. It is a joy to know we have so many praying for Kara, the doctors, and us.

P.S. - When Luke was ill, I found it of great encouragement to post scripture over his hospital bed. It is very powerful to have a visual on special scriptures when you are in the middle of such a crisis. One of our family favorites is Is. 43:1-3.
Love,
