Coming out of the fog

Sorry that it has been a few days since the last blog but we were vacationing in the Carribean. Just kidding. Time gets away from though in some regards it seems to move slowly. Jared has been over a week out of ICU and he is a little clearer and stronger each day. His goal for the end of the week was to stand on his feet however he did that on Mon. afternoon so Dr. Davis asked him what he would do on Friday? The reality of his present state has been coming clear the past few days and has been overwhelming to him to say the least so please pray for strength and courage in his inner man as well as the body. He does not see how far he has come since a month ago but we see daily improvement. We were talking about that this morning. As I was trying to encourage him two different staff people came in and remarked at how good he looked and how well he appeared to be doing. A timely word from the Lord (Prov. 25:11). The chemo. and radiation appear to be keeping things in check. The goal now is to rebuild Jared's strength for a bone marrow transplant. Dr. Davis has been talking with Baylor-Dallas about Jared which would be great especially logistically but we will do whatever. Let me brag on Christina for a second. She is the most amazing young lady. Over these past months she has met all the challenges and obstacles head on, not flinching but going right at it. I don't know that many young women her age could do it. We thank the Lord everyday for her and for the gift she is to Jared an us.(Prov.18:22) Thanks for all the love and support.
