Tomorrw We Start Chemo

Tomorrow Christen starts the road to having the cancer removed from her body. Praise God that He has brought us to this point, with good doctors and a good plan for her cure. We are very hopeful that the chemo will be effective against the tumor.

All the kids but Louie and Christen have gone to friends' houses for a few days.

Christen was able to get in some last minute appointments with the orthodontist and dentist. Debbie was also able to get a last minute doctor appointment today, both of which were answers to prayer.

Thanks to Bob for picking up Christen and taking her to the orthodontist this morning, and Hannah to Spanish. That was a great help!

Our first appointment is at 9:00 AM in Charlottesville.

The tumor seems to be growing rapidly and is the cause of a lot of pain. Her knee is swollen, hard, and is warm to the touch. Please pray that the chemo will be very effective at reducing the tumor size, preventing spread, and quickly.

Steve & Debbie for the family
