Hey all...I have a very close friend in need of prayer right now.

Her name is Kim Kumke, she is 36, and she was just diagnosed with a brain tumor. Tomorrow she is having a CAT scan and a mammogram done, since sometimes these tumors can start elsewhere in the body and then move to the brain. Then, next Wednesday (Feb 25th) they will be doing a biopsy of the tumor. Once they know for sure what they are dealing with, then they will make a course of action. I believe and KNOW that God can heal her completely, so that is what I am praying for. Please let God get all of the glory when they CAN'T FIND ANY TUMOR next Wednesday.

Please add Kim, her husband, and family to your prayer chains. Pray for her healing, and for her and her husband to be drawn closer to God during this time.

Thank you all,
Love,
Kelly

Thanks, that made me smile.

That she has...and a SUPER FUNNY one at that! (We went to school together...from 6th grade on and she was always the loudest and funniest of all of us!)
 
Praying for your friend Kim at this stressful time - and that she has the strength to deal with whatever she finds out (obviously I hope it is nothing!)
 
I'm glad I could make you smile during this difficult time.
 
When they thought I had MS I repeated the 23rd Psalms in my mind the entire time.
 
I'll be praying.
 
Prayers for a clean scan
 
Prayers coming, Kelly!
 
Prayers and Hugs Kell!!
 
Praying for all, and the doctors.

I meet with my MOPS group this wed. We will pray for her!
 
I don't have many words this week - a lot going on, but know I am praying for her.
 
Prayers coming to Kim, her family and you...
 
Sending prayers.
 
Still sending prayers. Last week my uncle had surgery to remove a brain tumor, and it came back benign. His recovery has been absolutely remarkable - he was released 24 hours after the surgery.

Praying that your friend has the same results!
