Big Blue Posted by Hello

August 13, 2004

It just seems like the cancer world is never predictable. The oncologist called yesterday and filled us in on what the surgeons thought of Kaelyn's scans. It seems that they cannot see where the two main veins in the liver are in comparison to the tumor. So they want to postpone the surgery so that they can get better pictures of the liver. They need to do an MRI scan and an Echo Cardiogram. We are hoping to get these done on Monday, so that if everything is okay, Kaelyn can still go into surgery on Tuesday. But, the bad new is, is that if the veins are too intimately involved with the tumor they will not be able to remove the tumor. Kaelyn will have to have a liver transplant at that point. We really pray that we will not have to go down that road.

Please continue to fast this sunday if you are able. We are going to be fasting that the tumor will still be able to be resected and that her veins are not in the way. We know that God is a loving God and He can perform miracles. Please pray for one for our baby.

We love you and will update the site when we find out the results of her scans.

We have some wonderful news! The scan on the 6th was great. All of the lung metasteses are dead and gone!! YIPEE!! That was just the best news we have gotten in a very long time. Her liver tumor is also a bit smaller. Surgery is scheduled for August 17th. So, Kaelyn gets a week off chemo to let her get her strength up a bit and off she goes to get that nasty tumor out of her little body. We are all very nervous about the surgery, but know she is in good hands.

We are having a special fast this sunday, August 15th, for Kaelyn. If anyone is interested in participating please do. I believe that anything we can do for our girl Heavenly Father will amplify. We feel all of the blessings that result from your prayers and we thank you all for your support.

On top if it all Kaelyn is finally getting two new teeth! That little girl just likes to do everything at once!

We also have some other good news. The sale of our condo is final! We no longer have to worry about that. What a blessing to have it sold as quickly as it did.

Love to all of you. I will try and update the site as soon as I can after the surgery next week.
