The Momma

Hello family and friends -
Today I (Momma T) am writing to you from the University of Washington hospital.  Jared was admitted this afternoon due to his blood counts being down to zilch.  His fever is climbing and he just feels blaaaaah.  I want to share with you the incredible load Stephanie has taken on with Jared's illness.  She has been an angel!!  I marvel at the incredible gift that Jared and our family has been given through Steph and the rest of the Rotter gang!
As a mother, I feel so useless.  Watching your child go through all this is horrible and you just want to be able to go through it for them.  Alas, God has his plans and, once again, they do not line up with my own.  BUT, for every trial God throws in my path, he also yields unending blessings and Stephanie has certainly been one of them!  I have never heard a word of complaint, an ounce of "why me" or a pinch of doubt that Jared's road to recovery will falter.
Please continue to pray for Jared and Steph so that they may find peace through this process and experience a wonderful wedding coming up!  We are all looking forward to this momentous ending of Jared's pain and beginning of their lives shared together.
