Round Three Update...
First off, sorry for the delay on this post...computer problems.
Jared is doing the best that can be expected right now. This round of chemo is similar to his first round. He isn't having extreme reactions but has ongoing nausea which enables him to eat a lot and he is very tired. Please pray that he will continue to regain his strength and that there will be minimal effects of the chemo and maximum results.
They were unable to access the port in his head to give him a round of chemo in his spine and the surgeon is supposed to come in today to take a look at it. Tomorrow they will do a bone marrow test to see exactly where they are and if the treatment has been effective thus far. We are believing the Lord for a good report.
Christina is at school all week during the day for orientation. Please pray for strength and focus and she is away from Jared.
We wanted to send a big thanks to Austin, Sniper & Terminal entertainment, The Rainforest Cafe, Texas Jive, and all the bands who participated in the Music for Life benefit for Jared. Your kindness and compassion is overwhelming, we are so blessed to be surrounded by such an amazing and talented group of people. May you be abundantly blessed for your generosity.
Thank you for continuing to post messages to Jared and Christina, it is a tremendous blessing to them and the Waters family.

Well my dears we know what to specifically pray for. I will share Joshua 1:9 with you.....it is a verse I repeat for Jamie and Misty quite often and now I claim this for you Jared and Christina. "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous! Do not tremble or be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go." Amen.
Everyday is a battle, but You will WIN!! Blessings your way. Praying that we get away to see you soon.
Love....hugs.....smooches...kisses..and...squeezes..AuntGiggs and Uncle Bob.

J and C. Hey, this is Dan. I'm not logging in under my name b/c I forgot the password (imagine that). Anyway, I'm positive tomorrow's test results will show heavy effects of the Lord's work and the prayer from all friends and family.
On a side note, I asked my dist. supervisor about Hastings giving a donation...and the corporate world responded that I could set up 'donation buckets' at my individual store. So it's not exactly what I was hoping for, but it will still do something. I plan to set that up tomorrow.
Ok, get some rest!
Love the Burke family.

Jared,
It was so awesome to see everyone who came out to support you and your family on Sunday. You are one loved guy! I pray for God to move miraculously in this situation and I can already tell the effect that this has had on people around you, it's amazing!
Whenever I think about you and Christina and your family God always reminds me of that Delirious song...I shared it with Jo.
"God is bigger than the air I breathe, the world will leave,
God will save the day and all will say MY GLORIOUS!"
He is bigger than this and He will pluck you out and save you when He sees fit and only His timing is perfect! Stay strong, I love you and Christina and can't wait to see what awesome things God has in store for both of you.
Love ya'll!

Jared,
I look forward to coming down and seeing you. Unfortunately, I dont get the opportunity as much as I'd like. I (and my family and our church)have been praying for you to have strength and healing, and I know you will.
See you soon.
Love Always, from your boyfriend (platonically speaking, ha)

Hi Jared and Christina,
We are happy to hear this round is going much better. We continue to pray for God to wrap you in His arms and give you strength and complete healing. Thinking of you both!
Lots of love,

Hey Jared & Christina,
I love you both and want you to know that my family continues to lift you up in prayer every day.
It occurred to me that you could probably use a diversion. If you need a good laugh, or you're just bored, you might enjoy checking out these sites:
"Baby Got Book" by Storyteller-Preacher, Dan Smith (no, not THAT Dan Smith)
Homestar Runner is chock-full of silly cartoons and games
Chuck Norris Facts is a hilarious collection of jokes related to the super-human feats that are attributed to the 1980s action star. In turns out that Mr. Norris has a good sense of humor and has even contacted the site and indicated which one's he finds most entertaining.
Enjoy, and keep smiling!!
Love always,
-KG
