Last week we were blessed to go on a vacation that we didn't plan to have this summer. Once Katie got her little self out of the hospital, she really wanted to get her toes in the sand! Thanks to some friends and a big thumbs up from her oncologist, we spent a week in Florida and really enjoyed our time together. We even sat back and listened to some of the fussing between kids with a little appreciation.
Just before we left, Chad spoke at River Ridge Church for the first time since before Easter. He shared some of the struggles we have had and things we have learned. If you have half an hour one day, you can listen in on that below. We will head back to Cincinnati later this week as Katie has a CT and PET scan on Thursday. This will be her first set of diagnostic scans since she started immunotherapy about 7-8 weeks ago. We will meet with her oncologist on Friday to discuss results and she will receive her next immunotherapy infusion. To look at Katie, she looks incredible! We want to be hopeful that the internal images will match her external appearance, but we have this fear that we carry around with us. Scan anxiety we call it. It's hard to live with some days. Please pray this week - for a smooth IV insertion, labs, scan and infusion - for results that show the cancer is responding to this treatment - for clarity regarding next steps in the treatment plan - for peace Blessings, Chad and Sarah and the Cobb 7 http://riverridge.org/tv/sermon/the-dreamer-the-waiting-room/#play-audio
