...we don't make this stuff up.....

....Well, after much work, from lots of people...Jared got the okay for moving to the rehab unit ! That was on Friday and unfortunately by Saturday morning he had gotten sick enough that they had to move him back to the oncology floor. After running tests they figured out that he had...chemical meningitis...so he is being treated for that and he is feeling better already. He is able to keep up with his physical therapy but not to the extent that he would be doing in the rehab unit but something is better than nothing !! Sunday he was able to get from the bed to his wheel chair without help and was outside for a good period of time !!!!!! And today, Monday he was able to walk again in the hall with help and go outside again and see Molly...their dog! While it feels like we are going backwards we still keep pressing on !! We are hopeful that he can make it back to the rehab unit soon !! Jared's spirits have been better this last week than we have seen them in a while !!!!!
....Thanks to all the Texas State kids who did a great job of putting on an art auction and coffee house concert to benefit Jared and Christina. In light of all that had happened last week on college campuses it was a blessing to see these kids come together and give of their time and energy for someone they don't know!!!
....Thanks also to the staff at McKamy Elementary for round two of the garage sale...you guys
are the best !
....Our focus now is to get Jared strong...get him home for a little bit...meet with Baylor Hospital...and get going on the transplant!!! All in record time!! We hope that this is what the Lord has in mind too ! We know that the Lord will continue to lead and open doors for us.
.... and of course we ask that you continue to stand in prayer with us for strength and for the Lord to guide our every step !
