Dear Friends and Family,

First, thank you so much for all your encouraging words and prayers. Update on health:
I was recently diagnosed with COPD and Heart failure. These felt like a kick in the gut on top of dealing with all other health issues. However, it may explain why I have had such difficulty breathing.  I will be searching for specialist to confirm and help with these. I was told to see a geneticist for the COPD and we need to understand completely about the numbers that indicated the heart failure.
Please pray for:
Total healing
The right doctors and testing as well as correct treatment plan.
God's continued provision.
The seemingly never ending insomnia
Stamina for all appointments needed
Wisdom for me and the doctors on the best treatment plans
That my body will somehow find the ability to get much needed sleep and rest.
That I will be able to continue to lean on the only one who has all the answers and not feel totally overwhelmed.
That the chronic pain from Fibromyalgia and Nephropathy would ease.
That the permanent damage already done to my lungs would heal and not become worse.


Praise
You! I am so thankful for those of you that are reading this and continue to pray and encourage me through this very long and difficult journey. God has used you in so many ways throughout my life and I so very grateful.

Love,
Kara
