Standing Up Against More Battles...

Let's start this post off with a praise - Jared's white cells were up to 3,500 today with 90% of them being the fighter cells he needs. We thank the Lord for the movement of the healthy cells in the right direction and we ask that the engrafting of Jo's marrow continues in this favorable direction.

Now to the issues at hand. Jared is at a big crossroads right now, since last week there has been a drastic shift in Jared's mental health which is causing huge problems for his recovery and possibly for the anti-rejection drugs he is currently taking, which he needs to take. There are multiple things that his oncologist is looking at right now as to what is the root cause of all these mental issues. There are some major decisions to be made tomorrow as to how to go about testing Jared without compromising his body and mental state anymore. We need great clarity and wisdom for this situation.

We are asking for specific prayer for these things:

• Protection over Jared's mental health and continued positive movement with the transplant. Also for a rash that Jared has developed which falls under graft vs. host.
  
• For diving wisdom for Dr. Agura (Jared's oncologist), nurses, and any other health professional who comes in contact with Jared's situation.
  
• Supernatural peace and rest for Jared, Christina, Terry and Dianne.
  
• Last but not certainly not least - A breakthrough in healing of magnificent and miraculous proportion for Jared.

Please keep praying and please focus your prayers right now on the issues mentioned above. We are on the watchtower looking and believing for breakthrough in Jared's healing.

Thank you for your support.
