Special Prayer Request

This is not an update about Ken, but about my niece, Rhonda. Rhonda is in her 40's and has a small child. She desperately needs our prayers and we know God is able to touch Rhonda. This is the email I received from my sister, Retha, Rhonda's mother:

Rhonda has been on a liquid diet for a while now; she can't swallow food. Last night she couldn't keep liquids down and this morning nothing stayed down. I took her to her doctor's office and he put her in the hospital. She will start radiation and/or chemo today to shrink the cancer so she can eat. Her doctor said it may or may not shrink the cancer; please pray it does. The doctor said every cancer is unique and he can't say if that cancer will react to it or not. If it doesn't, they will have to put a tube into her stomach to feed her. They want to shrink the cancer as much as possible before they extract it.

Ken & Mary,

We've been keeping up with you guys through emails from Dana Zerger. I'm thrilled that Ken seems to be improving and pray each day is better than the one previous. This is quite a journey that you're traveling and I know you are touching many others along the way. Please know that we are holding you both close in thought and prayer. Love, Becky
