Still at Baylor

Jared is 8 days out of chemo and all his blood work is in the toilet as usual though once again he fared really well through this last treatment. He has been getting blood and platelet transfusions intermittently and they are constantly watching for infection of which he has a couple of strep strains. The doctor did not appear real concerned but they did begin a regimen of antibiotics. Dr. P. as we have come to call him is great. He is really looking long and hard at what is the best and safest way to do the bone marrow transplant for Jared, Joanna, and Aubrey Grace(the baby). At this point we are proceeding towards harvesting the bone marrow as soon as possible to keep from getting too close to the delivery date. Christina will be out of school in 2 days which will be a big relief to her even though she has enjoyed her class this year it will take some pressure off. She is a peach! Here is your laundry list of prayer.
1. Protection from infection
2. Renewed strength(this is considered as they screen him for a transplant)
3. Wisdom even beyond the doctors ability as they consider all these matters
4. Favor with doctors, nurses, insurance, etc. etc. etc....(they have experienced so much in past year)
Gratefully, theWaters
