Update on Kenet...

I have an update on Kenet...he's home for 15 days to rest and try to get his strength built back up a little bit. The doctors added radiation to his chemotherapy treatments as a last resort effort to try to stop the advancement of cancer. They have said this is all that can be done. He's so thin and very weak but Miguel said he's glad to be home. His tumor has shrunk some but he's been in a lot of pain and while in the hospital, they were giving him injections of morphine to try to control it. I asked Miguel about a shunt but he wasn't familiar with it, saying that Kenet had to have a shot every time for his pain. Just the thought of a child having to have morphine makes my stomach turn. It is so hard knowing this little guy is suffering like he is. He is a sweet, precious child. Please continue to keep him in your prayers. We may be in a country where the medical technology isn't as refined as it is in the States, but that means nothing to our God. He is the great Physician and nothing is too difficult for Him. Thank you for your faithfulness to pray.

Our prayers continue for
Kenet. How sad that he is
in so much pain. May God
grant him and his parents
peace. We pray that he
can have relief from the
pain and while we cannot
always understand, we trust God is in control and will hear our cry for
help. Wanda
