Many of you will remember our faithful sister Kim Carroll and may know of the trials that she and her family have been presented with recently. As her husband was seeking work and committed to relocate to Arizona, she was diagnosed with cancer. Many of you have prayed for her through this time and from what I was hearing, it sounded like the cancer may have been receding.
I received these pictures of Kim from Christine just last week and she has a beautiful smile in spite of the challenges that she has been enduring.
But just the other day I received this from Christine:
I’m afraid I have bad news about Kim, she is currently in the hospital and they are thinking that the end may be near. It seems that her downturn is happening very suddenly and very rapidly. :(
So thank you for those continued prayers!
God bless,
Christine
And then yesterday I received this one:
As you know, we’ve been specially requesting prayers for Kim this past year
as she struggled with her rare, rare form of cancer that is currently active on
her brain. It has reached a dire pitch this past week as she has been unable to
eat, has constant intense headache, cannot leave the couch. It now takes her a
day just to write a few lines of a letter to her children. She was admitted to
a hospital yesterday and because they are medically at the end of the rope, she
has agreed to an experimental treatment. So, on Monday she will have another
surgery on her head to remove more "real estate" and then two radiation nodes
will be implanted.
Naturally, Brian and Kim have turned their thoughts toward the probability
of death and all these "last things."
Dear Lord, we ask for a miracle and the complete, permanent healing of Kim.
Please place your mantel of protection, love, serenity, joy, wisdom,
consolation around the Carroll family: Kim, Brian, Caisey, Rebecca, Anna, and
John Paul.
Please keep Kim and family in prayer daily.
