Well, Kecia came through her gamma radiation ok. Said the first day was horrible, but the second was faster and not so bad. She found out that the center where she gets regular treatment was closing and has been looking for a new place to get chemo since then. Yesterday, after spending hours on the phone it was decided that she would go to a hospital in Mckinney for treatments and go to her dr's office across the street for regular appointments. Its a much longer drive than she has now, and she will loose the personal care she got from the cancer center staff but we are praying that there is someone special with whom she will cross paths during this process of change. She has been sick for the past few days (more than usual) so she thinks it may be a virus (although Im sure it's hard to tell them apart at this point).
Our church has been putting together small individual meals that Kecia and Jeanie can heat up easily, which has been a huge blessing since neither feels much like cooking healthy much anymore. They asked me to send a BIG "THANK YOU" to all who have sent food, prayers, and well wished thier way!

Another Spot found

Kecia just called and told me that while reviewing the scans taken while they were measuring for her gamma radiation treatment, they found a 4th spot on her brain. She is so disappointed! She knows we are praying that the 3 spots be gone and not that new ones are added so she was a bit suprised to hear this unexpected news. They are still planning to do the gamma radiation on Thursday and Friday (about 2-3 hours each time) and have decided to go ahead and put her back on one of the preventative chemos. Her heart is a little better although not at all where her doctor would like it to be. Please pray for Kecia's health (specifically that her heart will continue to strengthen and not decrease function, and that the spots will be dead and gone) but also that the Lord will make himself known to Kecia in an undeniable way. She is so tired yet not at all ready to give up. She needs the kind of strength that only God can give her. He breathed life into her at birth and she is needing that breath of life again now.

Kecia just got finished testing her heart function and the numbers have improved from 25 to 42. I don't really understand what that means, but higher is better so PRAISE GOD! She goes in for measurements tomorrow. You may remember from last year when they did gamma radiation on her brain. She spends a day getting measured down to the millimeter (actually probably closer than that) and then next week they will do the actual radiation on thursday and friday. I have been praying a very bold but exciting prayer and I want to ask each of you to join me. Please pray that after doing all this measuring, worrying and praying, they will go to do the radiation and find that the 3 spots on her brain are already gone. They are not treating that right now in any way so if they aren't there, its because God removed them before they had a chance to. Wouldn't that really blow the doctor's mind!!
