Tomorrow is Day 29 of Katherine's chemotherapy treatment. If I'm not mistaken, and I'll have Dan confirm this, tomorrow marks the end of the induction phase of the treatment. We've gone off the steroid she has been on for the past month, and are awaiting results from the genetic studies in order to know more about the treatment plan going forward.
Please pray for:
- That Katherine can be calm at the appt, and not get worked up from the moment her port is accessed.
- That results from the genetic studies have come back, and that we get positive news tomorrow. These results play a large role in determining the treatment plan for the consolidation/post induction period of treatment. Please pray that the doctor has had time to thoroughly review the results and prepare the most appropriate treatment plan for our little girl.
- Now that we are off the steroid, that Kateli's appetite will return to normality quickly. Also, that the extra weight she is carrying will come off easily, as it will relieve a lot of pain she has been experiencing the last few days. She has been complaining of back pain the last couple of days and has had a hard time sleeping. Please pray for comfort for her, and strength for her body.
- For energy for all of us. Sound sleep and restful nights.
- Yahir Alejandro. He is a 5 year old little guy, nephew of a friends, who was recently diagnosed with a brain tumor. He and his family are in Mexico.
I need to run, Kateli is up and needing some attention. Thank you for keeping up with us and for continued prayers.

Marleny, how strong you are; your insight for needed prayers surely comes from God. Your strength to be such a fantastic Mother also come from God. Our prayers for Katherine and both you and Dan are being lifted up to God. We pray for Katherine to be calm for her appointment tomorrow, for the doctor to have the test results and the treatment plan for the future, for Katherine's pain to go away, for all of you to sleep well tonight, and for Yahir. We will be anxioulsy waiting to hear your news tomorrow. God is with YOU.
We are praying for each of you today. We pray that Katherine would know Jesus is holding her today during her procedures. May you sense and see His presence all around you today. We ask the Lord for GOOD news about the genetic typing and God's wisdom for the Dr. K as he reviews her treatment plan. Also we pray for your clarity as you process the details and ask the questions you need to have answers for. With love, The Lehmans
Sending prayers your way. Your sweet girl is so lucky to have a mom like you.
Dearest Marleny,
It is Wednesday evening and I pray that you experienced God's presence today during Katherine's evaluation and time with the medical staff. May God give you rest tonight and comfort Katherine throughout the night. May Joshua remain well and may you and Dan experience strength from your Perfect Father. You are precious to Him and to me. Love, Mom, Sue, Grandma, Grandma

Gracias por pedir por mi sobrino Yahir yo espero que pronto este tomando su tratamiento como Kateli y podamos rogar a Dios para que no sufra tanto y soporte todo lo que viene.
