Thank you for all your prayers and encouragement. For those of you who would like to keep updated with how Karina and our family are doing, we've just set up a Caring Bridge site.
We've also been learning quite a lot about pediatric cancer and walking with the Lord. We are collecting practical and spiritual resources for Christian cancer families here:

Last week, we found that our lovely daughter Karina has an
Alveolar Soft Part Sarcoma, a malignant tumor of the soft tissues. This cancer is rare, but affects children, teens, and young adults. Thank you for all your prayers.
Together in Christ,
Fernette, Brock, Karina, and Krister Eide
