Greetings to family and friends: Our friend Nicole Sanders is planning a fundraiser to help with Karen's expenses as we wage this fight against ovarian cancer. It will be January 27 at 5:00 pm and there will be a silent auction and cash bar and hors'dourves (I'm sure I spelled that wrong). Tickets are $40.00 per person and I have some available as does Nicole. E-mail me at soulwise@msn.com or Nicole at nsanders@mailnparcelplus.com.
The next round of chemotherapy begins on Thursday the 15th. It is a Thurs/Fri/Thurs cycle each time around. She is scheduled to have chemotherapy the day after Thanksgiving. In the last couple of days, hair has begun to fall out. Though many mean well in trying to encourage Karen during this time, this is the hardest part for her. Please keep her in prayer. Her spirit is strong and she's very encouraged to keep fighting. We spent this last weekend in southern Wisconsin at my mother's home and were so happy to spend time with my sisters Laura and Marilyn (from Illinois and Florida respectively) and my Uncle Mark who lives with my mother and helps take care of her. My mother is in very poor health, on oxygen 24/7 and in need of your prayers too.
As Karen progresses into the next treatment, please keep us in prayer. We're so blessed by the generosity and the expressions of love we have from so many of you. We have set up a fund through UBS for contributions for medical expenses - e-mail us for more information. I'll close with Isaiah 26:3: "You will keep in perfect peace, him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in You."
