Update on Jared

Wanted to give everyone a quick update

Yesterday we had some very exciting news; Jared was able to push with
his left leg. He still has no feeling below his chest, but this is the
first real movement he has had in his lower body. Essentially he can
do a leg press, with maybe a pound or so of pressure. I spoke with his
Dr. and he was very excited about this news. He believes this is the
sign we have been waiting for.

We are truly praying for a Christmas miracle

I hoped to have more news soon. The last 3 or 4 weeks have been kinda tough
because he has had so little progress so we are praying this movement
will be the catalyst to a rush of improvement.

Thank you all for everything you have done for our family, this process
certainly has not been easy, however so many people have done so much
for us and for that we are truly thankful.

Update on Jared

Jared is doing fine. Outwardly we haven't necessarily seen a ton of progress, however the Drs are telling us his lab work looks much better. We are praying hard that this will be the catalyst to improved movement. I truly believe we are going to see huge progress in the next day or two. This has been a long hard situation and Jared is really getting tired of being here, so let's all pray for a small step forward.

More as I have info to share

Jared's new room

So many people have asked about the room for Jared, I am just floored by all of you.  It is truly amazing how many great people there are in this community.  We are so blessed and God continues to be so good to us. 

We had several members of our Church most of whom are the building business come to the house and I am thrilled to say the room is nearly complete.  Thanks  to all of you it is truly incredible what you have done. 

Randy, JV,  Bobby, Mike, Blaine, Brad and crew, Wayne I am speechless!!!!!
