Your support and encouragement over the past 10 days has been incredible! Thank you!
We received the final pathology reports today, and the good news is that the PET scan shows the lymphoma is localized and the bone marrow came back clean. That's encouraging and a huge answer to prayer! Katie's medical team consulted with Mayo Clinic to confirm the diagnosis and treatment plan, and we begin our journey tomorrow (Friday). Katie will be admitted tomorrow and will have her first treatment over the weekend. We know she'll be admitted for 3 days during the treatment, but we will learn more about the timing of future treatments when we meet with her oncologist tomorrow. Prayer Requesrs: 1. We're praying that she will be cancer free at the end of this! 2. That the side effects of the chemo would be minimized. 3. The other kids. Rightfully, Katie has been getting a lot of our attention lately. Pray that God will give us discernment and wisdom on how to care for Katie while still investing in the rest of the clan. Thanks for walking with us! -Chad

Prayers for the family and especially Katie! May God bless her with courage, faith and strength on this journey. Deuteronomy: 31:6. Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you: he will never leave you nor forsake you. 😊

Praying for the hospital staff this weekend; they will be patient and compassionate while you all learn what the treatment for Katie entails. Praying that you feel God's presence and strength. Praying for complete healing for Katie from the cancer. We began this road with our 16 year old son, over a year ago and I wish I could lighten the load for you somehow.
