Lemonade Stand

This week Caitlyn had a MRI. The MRI showed additional tumor growth. Despite high hopes it appears that Nimotuzamab may not be the drug for Caitlyn. The nimotuzamab is an 8 week protocol so Caitlyn will finish out the next 3 treatments. At that time the family will decide what to do, keeping in mind what is the best for Caitlyn and the family.

In the meantime the family is doing their best to take one day at a time. They are finding joy in making Caitlyn's little wishes and dreams come true. Caitlyn has always wanted a bikini but Kara has always told her not til she is older ~ well Caitlyn got her first bikini when she went to Memphis and she looked adorable wearing it. One day she woke up from a nap told her mom that her "mission for the day was to go to Target," so they went to Target. She's always wanted a gumball machine in her bedroom ~ so recently after a visit to Chuck E. Cheese she and her mom earned enough tickets to buy one.

Sunday (5/25) ~ Caitlyn's wish is to have a lemonade stand.....If you are in the neighborhood drive on by the Churak's between 12 noon - 2p.

Thank you for all the prayers, and words of encouragement they really are appreciated. Please keep them coming as they are needed more than ever. Please especially pray that God provides guidance in the days ahead.

Thanks as always for your kindness and prayers.
