On May 5th, 2010 our life was redefined when we discovered that I have a tumor
growing in the spinal cord of my neck.

The purpose of this blog to keep an updated record of our "Life Redefined" and give you the details you might be wondering about (surgery, recovery and other random daily stuff, etc...)

For our friends and our family members who want to be kept updated this is the easiest way for us to do it. It's also good therapy for me to write it down!

We still want you to call or visit if you feel like it - we find so much strength from you. All of your words and encouraging thoughts and prayers are a great blessing for us!

Surgery Time

Kara had her pre-operation visit today at 2:00 p.m. They took some blood, had her sign some papers, and she talked with those in charge of anesthesia. Surgery is scheduled for tomorrow, May 25th between 12:30 p.m. and 1:30 p.m. We have to be at the hospital at 11:30 a.m.

We appreciate all of your thoughts, prayers, and fasting. It has made a world of difference for our family, along with so many kind acts of service. We are hoping and praying for the best outcome possible and we are confident that everything will go well.

We will try to keep you updated as we get more information. Thank you for all of your love and support!

Well, we are headed to bed, and our thoughts are with you. We know you are in good hands, and that along with the Lord, and that fortune cookie, everything is going to be exactly how it's supposed to be. Smooth and good.

I hope you stay calm, and if not, ask for some extra drugs for that Kara. : ) Get some for Brian. He might need that!?

*DYING TO KNOW* DID YOU TATTOO YOUR KIDS NAMES ON YOUR SHOULDERS????!!!!!!

HUGS AND KISSES!
