Progress Report

Over the next couple of days, Karen will be meeting with several doctors to determine post-surgery treatment options. Currently, we praise God that Karen is now taking longer walks and continues to recover relatively quickly. She is now eating solid foods which the doctors hadn't expected of her until the end of this week and it looks now like she'll be coming home from the hospital sooner than expected. Above all, we praise God that she is feeling so much peace about her situation right now. I am confident that this is a direct result of all of your prayers for her. We're still praying now for continued healing and strengthening as well as continued peace and comfort for the Hauber family. Thank you again for all your prayers.

One thing I cannot help but notice about the daily updates on this blog is that it is being mentioned how ahead Mrs. Hauber is in healing. Now she is a few days ahead of where she should be. That is only the working of God, and we thank Him for that. Only GOd can bring her though. Thanks for the updates.
In Him,
Aaron Contino

Karen,
I am so glad to hear you are healing
from the surgery! I will continue to
pray that God will give the doctor's
wisdom as they figure out the best
course of treatment for you.
I wanted to tell you that as I read
the notes written by others, I can
see how you have touched many lives,
as you seek to follow God in your
role as mom, wife etc....it is a big
encouragement to me.
I have friends of mine in Canada
praying too.....one of my friends
read the blog and wrote to say she
is praying, and made the comment
Karen must be an amazing lady...She is right, you are.

We are praying,

Dear Karen,
You said it yourself.."I am a stubborn woman".(or was that me that said that?:)Your stubbornness to believe that the Lord WILL provide for each and every need is already showing. He is faithful! My only question is..you want to go home early? To a household of crazy kids?
WOW ! I am not even going to sign my name because I bet you can figure out who wrote this note.
I hope you are smiling :)

Hi Everyone! I am OVERWHELMED by having the chance to read this blog today. NO WONDER I have had such peace in my soul and spirit throughout this unbelievable last 10 days. ONLY the peace of God himself could have done this for me and for my family. Your prayers have held be up and kept me going, giving me comfort and yes, even JOY in the midst of this trial. I heard people say that God gives you the grace to bear up under trial but only when you need it and not before. Last friday in ICU was undoubtably the worst of days - many many discomforts and pain that just would not find a way to be controlled buy still, even through that day I still had peace that I was in God's hands.

The doctors think I will be able to go home tomorrow although they are still giving me IV fluids today, still adjusting my blood pressure medication - which is at about 1/4th the dose I had been on for a few years now - interesting... huh? I have gotten very little information so far about further treatment - if it is needed, what kind is best etc, except that there are 3 new meds in the last 18 mos that have been successful cancer like mine. The Lankenau Oncology team is having a conference on my case this Friday so I will likely learn more next week. Then we will take all the pathology reports etc for second opinion/s at Fox Chase etc and see what the Lord leads us to do.

I hope Tim and Kristen post this comment as an update too (such techno-marvels in my family, huh?) so that everyone will get this message. I am so grateful for EACH PRAYER on my behalf, each meal for my family, each ride for my kids.... it means more than you know. Please keep it UP!

Love, Karen
