Today Kole has been through a number of tests. The findings of these tests are still in question. He has had another MRI which has shown some questionable spots on the spine which could be blood clots. There is another questionable spot on the brain which the doctor feels could be from Kole's surgery. Janni asks (this is her sister Jodi typing) that you pray that the results of these tests (a new MRI) will show no cancer at these locations. They will be testing his bone marrow/bone scan as a precaution. Pray for the results of those tests as well. The doctors are also concerned that Kole has too much fluid on his brain and may need to have a shunt which would call for another surgical procedure. The doctors are going to give it a little time. Pray that the fluid will resolve itself. Kole seems to be holding up pretty good. I have heard that St.Jude is where they are going to stay for Koles treatment. Also, keep Steve and Janni upheld (and the grandparents) as they need God's stength, to care for Kole, both in health and spirit. Jaelle was here today. She was her happy adorable self, dancing to praise music with her cousins as well as playing babies. She will be traveling with my parents (the Sprungers) to Memphis, Tennessee (probably Friday). Pray for safe travel. Steve's parents will be traveling there around the same time.
Pray that our faith will continue to grow despite doctors reports and the like. Pray that we can be a light set upon a hill so that we can bring hope to those around us of how good God truly is. We thank God for His provision so far and count on Him for the future.

Dear Kellers,
The website is wonderful. I do not know Kole personally but by the sounds of it he is a very courageous young man. I too have recently undergone radiation and chemotherapy, and I know that with the Lord's help anything is possible. Matthew 21:22 says, "If you believe, you will get anything you ask for in prayer." With that said, All of us send our love and support. May God bless.
Sincerely,
Matt Pooch & Pooch Family
