| Pray for Sarah . . . |
Dear Friends:
We ask for your prayers for Sarah Synovec, who was recently diagnosed with
Hodgkin's Lymphoma. While this is a very serious disease, we are all
encouraged by the fact that Sarah's doctors give her a ninety-percent probability
for recovery.
Nevertheless, Sarah is facing a rough course of treatment in the months
ahead. She started a course of chemo-therapy in mid-June which will continue
every two weeks. After she completes twelve of these treatments, the plan is to
begin radiation therapy.
We had the opportunity to deliver a Prayer Shawl from our Cathedral Knitting
Ministry the night before her first treatment and spent a delightful evening with
Sarah and her family. The shawl was made by David Wingerson's grandmother,
Bea, and is a delightful pink piece resembling cotton candy. Just perfect for
Sarah!
Sarah, of course, has been her usual positive self, describing this as "a
learning experience." She has completed her first year at the University of
Nebraska where she is majoring in Biology. Her goal is to become a doctor. She
plans to return to school this Fall and will continue her chemotherapy at the
University Medical Center in Omaha while at school.
Sarah has had a tremendous outpouring of support from her many friends
that will certainly help her weather the storms as this runs its course. She has
started a blog which you can access at www.caringbridge.org/visit/sarahsynovec
for the latest on how she's doing. You may also send your messages to her at
that site.
Please join us as we keep Sarah and her family at the forefront of our
thoughts and continuing prayers.
Blessings,
Kathy and Michael
