"Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all of this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinquish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God." Ephesians 6:14-17

Update

I have been home for one week tomorrow! On Monday night I fell and had a seizure at home. However, aside from scaring Christina I was ok. This week I have been feeling pretty sick, fever, achy, stomach pains, and tremors. I went to see Dr. P on Tuesday and Thursday (which takes a lot out of me). The good news is my blood work looks good and I don't have to see him this week until Thursday.
Christina's school board is meeting on Thursday and they will discuss waiving the preexisting condition. Therefore, the transplant could get going soon.
We want to thank everyone from KC for EVERYTHING done for us at the golf tournament. We know how lucky we are to have such a wonderful family and group of friends!
Please continue to pray for us. Love you all so much!
Jared

Jared,
Psalm 147:11 says that the Lord takes "pleasure" in those that hope for His mercy. We continue to hope in His mercy for you and rejoice in the mercy He has already shown.

Stand firm brother.

Anything for you dear Jared. It was truly amazing how awesome the day was for the tournament, and how peoples hearts just overflowed for you and our family. God is so awesome, even though I was so very doubtful as to how the day would turn out since we woke up with it storming! Why would I question such a thing as the weather??!!

Praying for good news from Christina's front and for your strength to stay renewed. Hold fast sweetie, help is on the way!
with all ouf love and prayers,
Jennifer, Lance, Jenna and Taryn
