...Day 57 !!!!!!

Thanks to everyone for all the prayers and cards and encouragement !!! We have the best support group ever !!!! Jared has had an OK week..it changes daily !!! He saw the doctor Tuesday and everything was "holding" and said that he would see him in a week...but on Wednesday he started running a temp and had to go back to the clinic on Friday by then his counts were dropping and they did some cultures and ran some other tests...turned out to be a long day...he went back in today and his numbers had dropped even more...so he and Christina are there today getting pumped full of all the good things! The cultures did come back positive for strep...they are not sure "where" it is but they started the antibiotics yesterday and he is getting blood and platelet's.They have wanted to "keep" him but Jared really wants to be home, even though it will be taxing going in everyday this week...but hey who knows by Tuesday it can all change again!!! The doctor did say for all that he has going on today they would expect him to be a lot sicker than he his...but that's Jared !!!
So again we asking you to keep us in your prayers, we know this will be an up/down time until his system kicks in and he gets stronger but that does not make it easier for him or us !!

Please pray for - no more fevers
- counts to get up/stay there
- strep and any other infection to respond to the medication
and for Christina as she greets her 15 second graders on Monday morning !!
My prayer for Jared is that the Lord would set his feet on the road to recovery and he could get about the business of getting stronger and staying healthy !!!

The Waters !!!
