First time blogger

Today is my first attempt at blogging, My thoughts are that this will be a space where I can give updates and possibly purge some emotions.  I can't promise that I will blog everyday, however I will often.  To be caught up to date on Jared's story I created a web site also titled Jared's hope www.wix.com/lindamcintyre5/jaredshope . I wish I could take credit for the name however it is a friend and co-worker that came up with Jared's Hope.  So many things have happened in the past 6 months, ironically time seems to stand still at moments and others go fast than the speed of sound.  Jared's decline in health happened so rapidly almost a year ago he was very healthy and physically fit and now his energy level seems to be in survival mode.  No longer able to work and at times get out of bed for the greater part of the day.  Time seems to stand still in the fact that he waits for a heart and a liver and  news if insurance will help pay for the cost.  There seems to be so many things that are beyond our control in life and certainly time is one of them.  I suppose the only part of time we can control is they way we spend it and at the moment it seems more precious than ever.  I know I am so grateful for the time I am able to spend with my family and friends even when the moments seem brief.  The past six months have been a roller coaster of emotions as well from shock, denial, anger, overwhelming sadness, to acceptance and wanting to move forward.  Just when I think I've found some balance with the situation a new twist comes into to play and the roller coaster of emotions takes off again.  A huge blessing is the support of family and friends, the bond seems closer everyday and I am so very grateful.  
Yesterday's news with Jared is that he had 2500 ml of fluid taken off his abdomen which helped him feel better and we are still waiting little Jordan's arrival.  We are also praying little Jordan will do a flip since he is breech at the moment.  More news later.
