PRAISE REPORT! - Karen's doctors started following tumor markers on 03June05. The levels that day measured 2,999 indicating what anyone who had seen her already knew, Karen was extremely sick. On her last visit they measured at 146! That's a decrease of over 90% in just 3 months!!! We got more good news in that the same blood test also indicates that Karen's liver function continues to improve. To God be the glory great things He has done, is doing and will do!

The 3-DAY walk in which our friend Misty is participating in honor of Karen begins tomorrow 30Sep and ends 02Oct. Please pray for the safety of all the participants, organizers and volunteers. Also, pray that God will use the money raised through this and similar organizations to help those with cancer. Thank you Misty for giving up the comforts of family and home to raise awareness about this devastating disease. May the weather be great, the company be better and blisters be non-existent.

In addition to celebrating the great news with the reduced level tumor markers, Karen has enjoyed a week free of chemo. As she begins Round 5 today please pray that her body will tolerate it well. Pray that the medicine she takes will destroy the cancer and other malformed cells while strengthening the good cells.

That's all the update for this week. Thanks for stopping by to check on Karen's progress and for the many ways you've shown your support of our family through this valley in our lives.
