update
Jess had an MRI as well as a CT scan. What the scans show is there is very little space for her spinal cord in her L1 vetebrate. A neurosurgeon came in and said that surgery would do more harm than good. He also said that her spinal cord was not injured during the surgery but rather during transferring Jess and happened because of the problem at L1. The plan right now is for Jess to go home tomorrow and to still have brain radiation on Monday. Right now she can move her toes but not her legs. Keep us in your prayers.

Dear Jake/Jess:
I am not certain what that means for Jess going forward but I take comfort that God does. I am praying for a great night's sleep for Jess and that she is able to come home tomorrow.
Love,
Dad

Praying God's grace is sufficient for you, for His power is made perfect in weakness 2 Cor. 12:9.
Thank you Lord that when all we can do is cry out "the Holy Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express." Rom. 8:26-27

At all times, and at this unfathomably difficult time…
You, Lord, are our Shepherd.
In you, we have all we need.
You let us rest in green
meadows even when chaos
presses in from every
side.
In the darkness of the most desolate places,
You, Loving Father, lead us
beside peaceful
streams, renewing our
strength when we have
come to the end of
ourselves.
All honor and glory is to You
as You guide us along the right path.
Even when we walk through the darkest valleys,
we will not fear,
for You are close beside us.
Your rod and Your staff are constant reminders of Your protection over us …
What comfort you bring!
Bountiful blessings are laid before us even in the presence of our enemies.
Our lives are filled to overflowing with Your blessings.
Lord, we are confident that Your goodness and unfailing love will pursue us always.
And we will be forever safe in Your presence.
Psalm 23 adapted (WS 9/13/08)
Standing in the gap, for I know not what else to do.
Love, hope, and faith ...

Dear Jessica,
Thank you for loving Jesus and for trusting in Him. You are very precious to Him.

"Never will I leave you;
Never will I forsake you."

you nor give you up nor leave
you without support. I will
not, I will not, I will not
in any degree leave you
helpless, nor forsake nor
let you down (relax My hold
on you). Assuredly not!"
(Amplified)
