Chemo has started
Don: Karen has just been hooked up to her first bag of chemo. We have 3 days of chemo. In fact we will have 4 different chemotherapy drugs this round. We used 2 drugs during the first induction a year ago and they were given over 7 days. So things are different this time. There is also less chance of things working the way we want so lets continue to pray and let God know exactly what we want. “Dear God, please bring Karen through this relapse of Leukemia. We love her and need her in our lives for many more years to come. Remove the cancer cells and keep control of the fungus in the lungs until her bloodwork counts return to normal so that it can then be cured also. That will only be the first steps of the needed treatments. You know that we will be praying everyday for the needs we have now and then we will have new needs and new prayers soon. There are many of the steps that will be challenging to the doctors and Karen’s body. We will only make it through this with your healing hand and ask that you take care of her. Amen”
Karen and Don,
I am so sorry to hear your cancer came back Karen. I will pray for you, for this “nasty” disease called cancer to go into remission and pray for Don as well as your family and your friends. You have a lot of people praying for you. You are such a dear person and I think of you often. Stay strong and you are in my prayers. I love you … Michele

I just sent out an update to my small group (Karen has been on our prayer list for over a year now). We are all praying hard along with you, Don and Karen.

We are so grateful for all the prayers lifted up for Karen. She is the bravest girl. We are in the toughest fight of our bout with this disease. It is hard seeing our precious child going through the effects of chemo. Please lift all of us up so that on this journey we can help and support each other. We are weak; but God is strong and through Him we can be strengthened and do all things.
I am so sorry to hear this but you are a very strong person the proof is what you already gone through. You and all your family are in our prayers and I will update all the prayer warriors here. Keep up the fight and we’ll keep sending up the prayers!!!
