Trending upward

Talking to a friend today about Jared's progress, I was telling him it is two steps forward and one back but upward. He observed it is like the stock market. Good analogy. Jared's white count today was 5.5. Yesterday it was 6.6 and the day before it was 4.1. That has reflected the movement the last 7-10 days. Going the right direction. Now we need to see the red cells and platelets get in line. The neurological issues have gone away for which we thank the Lord. We will have some good laughs about that little episode at a later date.However his right eye has become swollen again. They had taken him off steroid drops a couple of days ago but will start using them again. The doctor indicated if Jared keeps moving in the right direction by next week being able to go home. That would be awesome. So here is the list for intercession to keep going in that direction.
1. Immune system, blood work to continue to improve.
2. No more fevers. He has been running one for past several days, as high as 103 but yesterday it dropped off and today has been fever free. Nothing has been found in blood cultures but we need to stay vigilant against those kind of attacks.
3.Complete healing of his right eye. We have been chasing this thing since last Oct. in one way or another and nothing has ever come clear to the cause. We have asked that just as He healed the blind that He would heal Jared's eye.
4.Increase in his physical strength. Right now he is real weak. So we pray for power for the weak and increase of strength. Isaiah 40:28-31
Thank you again for intercession and being the cheering section for Jared. I know we continue to stand because of His faithfulness and your support.
