Wednesday in Philly


Woody, Jaime, and I met Aaron at Hahnemann Hospital for his bronchoscopy today. It wasn’t that long ago that packing up and moving to another location was a stressful and exhausting affair for Aaron, but not today; the trip over and back as well as the test went well. They had a hard time getting Aaron sedated so he was actually very awake for the whole thing. He said he could see the screen that displayed footage as they inserted a camera into his lungs and said it was really pretty cool to watch them clean out his lungs. What they extracted was very white so at this point there is not much concern about infection, but they are testing it to make sure.

Upon returning to Magee, he had 3 solid hours of therapy and even squeezed in a trach collar trial for about 45 minutes (good considering how busy his day was). We just really had a good time laughing at ourselves, each other, and just getting a little silly sometimes. Below is a picture of Aaron in the gym during physical therapy.aaron 10 7 09

    Hey Aaron, did you and Jamie get a chance to watch the “DC volume II” yet? Keep on doing what your doing. Kepp on keeping on bro. Love Luke, Shannon, Pierce and our stupid dog Cocoa.

    Hi Aaron –

    I hope you are doing well! I found your blog through facebook and was sad to hear of your accident. However, I am so happy to see the support in family and friends you have. You are strong and will walk again. I will pray for you and your family.

    All the best,
    Alissa

    You are looking great in this picture. You seem to be rebounding more quickly now – this is good stuff!

    Keep up the hard work, good things are yet to come.

    It’s good to see your smiling face Aaron. You and Bill wore the same shirt today (well yesterday by the time you get this) how weird is that?

    Love you,
    D

    Hey Bro,

    I am really glad that you had a good day. I hope they absolutely wore you out in therapy. Can’t wait until you come home so you are close enough for me to pester you more.

    I love you soo much!!
