Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ:

Many of you have faithfully prayed for this dear girl who, last October, was diagnosed with a rare form of sarcoma. Many of you have also generously given to help cover the growing number of medical bills. I know that both of these things have been a blessing to the Kennedy family, and that they are very grateful for your support. After six rounds of chemotherapy with no apparent benefit, Shelby decided to pursue alternate methods of treatment. For the last several weeks, Shelby has been in Tulsa, Oklahoma, undergoing some testing, as well as various nutrition-related treatments. While there have been some improvements, Shelby continues to experience constant pain and has very little energy.

Following is a recent update that we received from the Kennedys:

On Tuesday we had a cat-scan done and comparing it to her last cat-scan, her tumor has continued to grow. Because the tumors are still gaining ground, Dr. Robbins has recommended that she go home to San Antonio and begin radiation therapy, along with the supplements she is now taking. Hopefully the radiation will affect the cancer long and hard enough to give us more time working from the nutritional end.

Tomorrow we have some more appointments here at the clinic, till about noon, then we will start heading home.

Please pray for our trip home. Shelby is able to lay down in the car but can become very uncomfortable while traveling. Also pray that the radiation will affect the cancer and really knock it back. We will be meeting with a radiologist in San Antonio on Monday morning at 9:00. Thank you so much for continuing to pray for Shelby.

I urge you to uplift Shelby in your prayers, and to consider how you can help with the growing number of medical bills that continue to pile up for the Kennedy family.
