Karen is doing well.
She should be moved out of the ICU and down to a regular floor this afternoon. The doctor said that she could go home tomorrow if she is up to it but it may be Tuesday. We'll see.
As for talking to her and the kids, that has gone well. I'll fill you in on how that happened later. Karen now knows that she has cancer and that the doctor had to leave some of the tumor in. She's teary but I am glad she's not trying to "be strong".
We'll be talking to the oncologist sometime in the next few days about what kind of radiation and Chemo regimin she'll need to undergo.
We will be able to do the treatment near our home. As the doctor says, they call the game plan from UCSF and it doesn't matter who the quarterback is.
Thank you all again for your prayers. Please continue to pray. The road ahead will be long and hard.

- Men have the God given honor and responsibility of training the next generation of men to lead and love in their families, churches and society. But knowing that this needs to be done, and knowing HOW to get it done are often two different things. Christian Service Brigade is a 75 year old organization that has been dedicated to helping men accomplish this vital task through: Training, equipping and encouraging men for ministry Empowering men to use their own gifts, talents and experience to teach the truth of God's Word. Encouraging young men and boys to grow in Christ-likeness through relationships with godly men, applying Scripture to daily life, serving Christ together, and memorizing God's Word. Providing materials that give men a practical, fun and dynamic way to disciple young men and boys for Christ. Fostering the skill of fathering through mutual father/son experiences. Our family is excited to be serving with an organization so uniquely positioned to answer this timely and vital need.

So happy to hear that she is doing well and bearing up under the new reality. We corporately prayed for you all in worship this morning and our prayer continue.
I hope Phil has given you our love. Corrie Schrader (Knight) also sends her love and prayers.

Thanks so much for keeping us abreast so we can know how best to pray. You are never far from our thoughts and prayers. We are ever so grateful for our Mediator who goes before us and the Holy Spirit who makes intercession for us with groans too deep for words. Know that you have an army of saints praying with and for you in this battle. We love you, Karen, Dave, and kids!
XXXOOO, Nathan and Jennifer
Find comfort in knowing that God is the Great Physician and will care for Karen through this journey. Our love is also with you David, Josh, Hannah, and Sophie.
God bless.

Thanks for keeping everyone up to date with the latest stuff on Karen. Knowledge is power and with all the confusion over how this could happen at all, knowing where everyone is is very comforting.
Taryn and I are very keen on coming to see Karen as soon as possible, so I hope you'll let us know when would be a good time. We don't want to impose if it's not appropriate, but for all the influence Karen has had on Taryn (and me for that matter), we would be extremely grateful to spend a little time with her in her time of need.
Need someone to watch her for a while while you shop? Someone to read to her? Nothing is too simple or menial, it would just be nice to find a way to help and spend time with Karen.
Tell her we love her and our thoughts are with her.
You are being prayed for in Southern California. We love you guys.
Ryan, Beck, and Fish
We really DO love you (lots and lots)...and I am so grateful to see the prayers and outpouring....Berkeley OPC prayed for you, today (as all the local OPCs) and I will continue to remind them to uphold all the very lovely Greggs in prayer....
We really do love you and will keep you ever before the Throne.
Believe I miss you guys--different ways but hopefully the same destination in Christ...
Peace & God's mercy on you.
love always,
Barb Lewis
Dave,
I have been desperate to get to my computer several times a day to get any updates that you may have posted on Karen's condition. I feel so far away and appreciate you keeping all of us in touch during such a difficult time. I know that the Lord is with you all and know that we are praying every minute for her. Please give her my love.
God bless you and yours,
Julie (Webster) Richardson
It's great to hear she's doing better. I've been thinking of and praying for Karen and the family a lot since i heard. I will continue to pray for recovery and strength for all of you. god bless,

"O God, hear the cries of Your people as they call on Your Name, Come pour out Your mercy, as we pray..." This is the song of petition Karen taught us and whenever I hear it I hear her voice. We're lifting our voices in prayer for your family... for His mercy and blessings on Karen and you all.
Our love to you ~ Cliff and Andrea
David and Karen,
Thank you for keeping us posted on what is going on. Even though we are new to your life we want you to know that the Davis family is lifting you up in prayer and want to physically help in any way we can. ~Eric and Heather Davis
