Karin had an appointment today to see Dr. Sattar, her oncologist in Walnut Creek. That appointment was at 10:20 this morning. That appointment went well. Actually, Jeff said it was the best one yet. Amazing. The doctor gave Karin a nebulizer. This is a machine used to give asthma patients treatment while at home, this should help with the build up of mucous in the lungs that she is experiencing. Dr. Sattar said that he could not personally order the referral for Karin to go to WA. Hosp. next week but that a doctor (forgot his name) at Kaiser Sacramento could and he would start the ball rolling on that. Please pray that would happen. Also discussed was when Karin would be able to start taking chemo again. As it looks now, about a week after the Gamma is performed they will do blood work and, provided that all looks normal, she can do it at that time.
Jeff and Karin both sounded good today and in good spirits. Still waiting on Karin's strength to come around again. God is always on time though.
Again, WA Hosp. is meeting tonight at 5pm PST to discuss Karin's case, we are already in, but continue to pray that God would give the doctors wisdom when planning her treatment plan. Hopefully, we will hear more about the details of that tomorrow.

Hi Karin,
We are thinking about you often and praying for you and your family daily. My kids are in VBS this week and came home with their weekly memory verse and I wanted to share it with you.
Hebrews 12:1-2 "Run with endurance the race that lies before us, keeping our eyes on Jesus, the source and perfecter of our faith."
Keep relying on Him and He will be with you always.
God Bless

Karin-
I read another great verse and thought of you this am...
“The LORD your God is with you, He is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, He will quiet you with his love, He will rejoice over you with singing." (NIV)Zep 3:17.
Amen to His LOVE! Have a great day today and listen for His singing over you with delight.
