Nothing.....

Just wanted to let you all know that nothing has been relayed yet. Sorry, I'm sure this is just as frustrating for you all as it is for us. Mom and Dad are having a great time at Family Camp and I think it has been good for Mom to be around old friends and loved ones.

So, the next post will be the results. Hopefully it will be soon but if a few days go by, know that I have not gotten word. Let us all make this our prayer:

Phillipians 4:6

"Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God."

Blessings,

Tara

So Sorry!

I know you all probably logged on here tonight hoping to find a new entry and were disappointed! We still have not heard anything from the doctors. They did not contact mom today so I am going to encourage her to call tomorrow.

Mom, Dad and the rest of the Hooper clan are at Family Camp in Santa Cruz this week. I talked with Martha today and she said mom was doing okay. She was tired, like she has been lately. I ask that you continue to pray for her.

Hopefully, by tomorrow night, I will be able to post news about the results of the MRI. Maybe this is God giving us one last night to send our prayers!So let's do that! Until tomorrow...............
Blessings,
Tara

Nothing Yet....

Mom had her MRI yesterday and they were hoping to give her the results right away but.... no luck! They told her to call on Monday morning and hopefully they would have them for her then and go over them with her on the phone. I know many of you are eagerly awaiting the results as are we! We just continue to pray that the Lord would prepare our hearts in the meantime.

I spoke with her a few times yesterday. For those of you who have not spoken with her in the past few months, it is becoming more evident in her speech about what is happening in her body. She is slow to speak at times and has a hard time following the conversation. It can be heartbreaking but I try and remember that the Lord will AND IS somehow using this. If it touches only one life, (which we all know is more like a million lives!) I know mom would say it was all worth it. I continue to urge you all to lift up the family in yours prayers nightly. As every day passes, I am beginning to see the affect it is taking on everyone, especially my own immediate family. My kids are starting to ask questions and I can't quite find the words to explain what is happening to Jama.

So, until Monday, please pray for Maxine. My prayer is and will continue to be that the Lord touch her body and take the cancer away. I know He is able!!!! Praise God for that!
Blessings,
Tara Hooper

It's Tara again.........

Hello everyone, it's me again! I think I will be taking over the blog spot again as Mom is getting a little worse with every passing day. I don't believe she is able to do this anymore and I would like to keep it going so you all can stay in touch with what is happening.

Mom has a doctor's appt today with the oncologist for a check up and another MRI tomorrow to see if the cancer has truly spread to the left side of her brain. This comes as a result of her last MRI which was done back in April or May.... I can't remember. When Maxine finally was able to get ahold of the doctors, they didn't sound too hopeful and finally the famous "Dr. Shock-your-body" told her he thought it might be spreading to her left side. Of course we are all praying that this isn't true. The results from this MRI tomorrow will be very insightful to us all.

You can also be praying for us all as we are getting prepared for our annual "Kuzzins Kamp". Summer is such a busy time with the Hooper family as many of you know. The week before Kuzzins Kamp is Family Camp down in Santa Cruz at RCP (Redwood Christian Park). It's a fun time of gathering with other families and relaxing for a week. But if your a Hooper, Johnson or Wheat, it's time to work! We are all very involved at the camp and it makes for tons of fun! Michael and I are unable to go this year and are bummed! But we look forward to Kuzzins Kamp and the precious time there with "Jama", as the kids tenderly refer to her.

I would like to make my e-mail available to everyone for any further insights or questions. tarahooper@sbcglobal.net
Please feel free to contact myself or Michael at this address.

We look forward to the next few busy weeks and pray that the Lord would bless our time with family. I will keep this updated as often as possible with any new news that comes forth. Again, thank you all from the bottom of our hearts for your prayers and support.
Blessings,
Tara Hooper
