PRAISE GOD!! The portacath (permanent IV line under the skin of Sara’s chest) was placed via surgery this morning with no complications. This was followed by the first round of chemo, also with no complications! Best of all- the test results were in and showed that there was no cancer in the bone marrow or anywhere else in Sara’s body that we didn’t already know about (near left collarbone, and around the thymus gland in her chest).
Camp started this week and the campers were everywhere! Sara and Emrys both worked long days with cooking and maintenance respectively. It’s good to be active again! Emrys and Karla (another staffer at camp) cut Sara’s hair this week to ease the entry into baldness. It looks great! We’ll try to get pictures up soon.
Prayers at this point can be directed towards Sara’s energy levels & the nausea. Also, that the chemo would work quickly on the cancer and that the healthy cells would remain safe from the effects of the chemo. Please also continue to the lift up the Sonlight staff and Emrys as they surround and support Sara during this time.
We love you all! Keep praying-it works!!

Many prayers are being sent to Sara and Emrys, I keep you both in my daily thoughts. Should Sara's hair decide to fall out, don't forget to rub the "Budha Head" daily for peaceful thoughts and good days ahead. Love you both.
