"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

I'm All Woman Now!!!!!!

We just got great news and had to share it! I have 100% female cells, I have Joanna's DNA.
This means there can't be any leukemia cells left. We know you share with us in this great victory!
On a different note, I have developed a staph infection. This has begun to show up in my blood cultures. They have started some big antibiotics. It looks like this is MRSA, which is antibiotic resistant. We will know more on this in a couple days. An infectious disease doctor is coming on board.
We have been in the hospital 5 weeks today and are REALLY ready to go! We know this infection will keep us here longer but please pray for a speedy recovery.
Thank you for all your support. We love you lots!
Jared and Christina

Praise God from Whom all blessings flow...We are praising him for your news on your female cells. You will find many more blessings when you get in touch with your feminine side... your Christina will have a new friend. We women will be bonded to you in a much deeper way.....and you and JoAnna will be like a New Sister Act. You can now have a new chapter in your book, perhaps "The Lion Queen". Your Jessica will also have many titles to draw from...she has helped me on some of my writings. We will all have fun with it. You take care and know we love you. His grace is sufficient for thee. Thanks for your blog!
Love Aunt Giggs and Uncle Bob too.

You Go Girl!
You truly are a miracle. God's blessings have been amazing where you are concerned. To become a saint you have to work 3 miracles-you could be a saint at least 1,000 times! We are praying for wisdom from the IC Doc for the staph infection. We love you so very much-give hugs to the rest of the Waters from us.

Love & Prayers
Kelli, Stuart & Jimmy
