Karen is on her way out of the operating room. The surgeon was able to tell us that the tumor was malignant and he was unable to remove all of it because of where it was placed. The next 24 to 48 hours are critical in terms of potential acute problems. The prognosis in these circumstances is typically not good. We do find some hope in that we are in the right place in terms of the most cutting edge treatments, some of which have been very effective.
Please continue to pray. The battle is just beginning.

Through this time of resting and healing of your inner being,may God's angles continue in their vigilance to watch and guide and to keep your spirit ever present and resting with Jesus. And when the time of reawakening comes, may God bring you back to us in wholeness,fully restored,to continue this life in testimony of his great love, Amen
Dave and family,
please know that we are praying hard for you up here in Canada. I did send out a prayer request e-mail to some close friends and family with the little information I had prior to seeing this blog. Hopefully everything I said then was completely accurate.
We are laboring in prayer with tears here for Karen, for you and the kids and all who are near to you.
The Lord bless you and keep you, the Lord lift up his countenance upon you and be gracious unto you. The Lord make his face shine upon you and give you His peace.
Much love, grace and peace to you,
Nan
for all the Douds here in Canada
David - Thank you for taking the time to post the updates. Your church family is praying diligently. May our sovereign God grant all of you His perfect peace, which passes all understanding. Tell KP that we love her!
