.....waiting and more waiting....
........We really are trying to keep the blog current but just about the time we get ready to update something changes. So as of today Jared is still in ICU...last day of a 5 day round of chemo...yesterday his right lung collapsed and they put in a chest tube... all his oxygen numbers looked ok today...he was not able to tolerate his tube feedings so tonight they will try some iv feedings which are not the first choice but will have to do for now...the chemo has dropped his levels which is what they want to happen but he needs to start replacing those cells and bring those levels up...until they get up he will have to have the vent tube in so we are hoping that it will not take long....what the doctor's say is that he is sick...holding his own...but needs to get moving upward...our local church has called for a week of fasting and prayer for Jared in hopes to see some turnaround this week...we feel like he is not losing ground but that is not enough he needs to get going..we can't imagine how tired and wore out he must be as we are beyound our limits....but somehow everyday we all seem to press on through. Christina is back at school this week so she will be stretched with trying to do all on her plate...please continue to pray for her. Please continue to hang with us with your prayers ! Jared is getting great care from all the doctors and nurses and we feel really blessed to have them all on his team!!!

Dearest Jared.....What an inspiration you are to me and all who know you. You are our modern day Job, taking everything Satan has to offer and throwing it back in his face, and we all know what Job's reward was for being faithful. I know your reward will be even greater, for you have been so sorely tested, but have remained faithful and courageous. I pray God will start showering His healing blessings on you in abundance, and SOON!!! Hang in there my dearest Grandson....I love you sooooo much. God bless you.Grandma
Dearest Christina, I am in awe that you could find time during these horrendous days to send me a Valentine and a sweet note. You are sooo special and are in my prayers daily. May God give you peace and strength to continue this ongoing battle. You and Jared are a perfect pair....two of the strongest people I know. I pray God will bless you and supply all of your needs. I love you, God bless, Grandma

"You have been saved by God's grace." Eph. 2:5
"When you pass through the waters. I will be with you." Isaiah 43:2
"When I am afraid I put my trust in you." Psalm 56:3
Hold fast dear family, we are with you every step of the way.

Our family is praying for Jared, Christina, and your families. I cannot even begin to imagine how trying this must be, and I am constantly amazed at how strong both of you are. The Lord must have great plans for you both that none of us understand right now. Hold on because there are so many people praying for his mercy now that it will surely come soon.

Christina & family,
I saw this scripture the day before the prayer meeting at Melinda's and I wanted to share it with you...it spoke volumes to me.
When you pass through the WATERS, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. Isaiah 43:2
I am lifting you up!!!! May the Lord bless and keep you & may His face shine upon you.
Love,

Dear Friends..........Matt.11:28-30
(Jesus said:) Come to me, all you that are weary, and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
John 14:27....(Jesus said:) Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not let them be afraid.
WE ARE PRAYING FOR YOU AND JARED AND HAVE FULL CONFIDENCE IN THE POWER & MERCY OF OUR LORD AND SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST. Love from Matthew Roehrig's grandparents in Austin, TX

Dear Jared,
If God had a refrigerator, your picture would be on it. If He had a wallet, your photo would be in it. He sends you flowers every spring. He sends you a sunrise every morning. God didn't promise days without pain, laughter without
sorrow, sunshine without rain, but He did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears, and light for the way.
Dear Water Gang,
Stay strong and we'll keeping on praying for those baby steps forward.
Love and Prayers - Karen, Bob and the kids

Dear Jared, Christina and family,
I am a good friend of Mindy Roehrig's. Her son, Matthew, is in Christina's class. She let me know of your prayer needs and I wanted you to know I'm praying around the clock for all of you. I'm sure you all must be exhausted. Emotionally and physically. I'm asking our Great God to give you all strength as you move through each day. I'm praying for healing and recovery for Jared. God is a miracle healer and I know nothing is impossible through Him. I cannot imagine what you are going through. Just know that I'm bathing you all in prayer at this time. I also pray for wisdom for the doctors and nurses who are caring for Jared.
Faithfully yours in prayer,
Janie Murphy
