Family Update- April 11

Thank you again to all who pray for us, we appreciate it. We are waiting for the next step in Karen's cancer treatment. Next Tuesday we have our first visit with the Oncologist who should give us a final biopsy report and lay out Karen's Radiation Schedule. Karen is doing well but still tires out since the surgery.

Scott is doing well but has a bit of the sniffles (I know, boo hoo). Its a small thing compared to Karen's challenges.

Meg is doing well and trying to catch up with all her end of the year school work while trying to keep her grades up in order to retain her academic scholarships. Meg is very excited because she got her first bit of paper work declaring her a senior next year. Where does the time go? I just graduated the other day myself.

Tim is feeling well. We had a bit of a scare just before Spring Break when Karen had to direct some fellow students to call 911 because of a low blood-sugar incident. Many have asked how he is feeling after that. The reality of diabetes is that once the blood-sugar comes back up, they don't feel lingering affects. So it was as if nothing had happened the following day. Tim is in the midst of his outdoor track program at Fort Hayes State University and coming down to the last month of his 2nd year. Again, time flies by.

Ryan's health has been good in spite of the challenges of diabetes, migraines, etc. Ryan has begun Spring Track at his High School and hopes to finish 2nd in the Province in hammer. If he does, it will cost us a lot of money because Karen kinda challenged him with a bribe if he succeeds :)

So to wrap up, next week is a big week for us as we look forward to the next steps in Karen's treatments. Again, thank you for your continued prayers. We are grateful to God for His faithfulness to us through this whole process.
