So I haven’t written a blog in awhile, so I hope my blogs can compare to Greg and Diane’s…ha..but anyways, I had the opportunity of being in the Harrisburg area for the weekend! I just love the area from Elizabethtown to Middletown to Harrisburg. And thank you to everyone for your offers for me and Tory! We feel so loved!! When I arrived to the hospital Saturday afternoon, I exchanged Tory with Greg and Gina Wood since the hospital STILL won’t let little ones up there, even though my little bugger had her vaccinations, but ok we’re dealing with it….ANYWAYS, I walked up to see Aaron with Ann and Kelly Garrett! We had a fun little Saturday afternoon while Aaron got to visit with some loved ones he hadn’t seen in awhile. He was awake for the visit, and after Ann and Kelly left Aaron and I decided to have a little date night. We ordered some amazzzzzzzing food and tried to start a few movies. The movies were dull, so I helped Aaron in bed and we turned a little TNT on. Can never fail with that. So we wrapped up the night around nine and Aaron snoozed away while his trach was completely capped off. I heard he began the capping early in the AM, so a good day to say the least….I arrived Sunday after church to see Aaron visiting with his mother’s side of the fam (Pap, Diane, Deb, and Charlie). Aaron was again capped (since 10:30 AM!) and he was handling it great. We watched football (BOOOOOO STEEELERS) and ate a lot of snacks. Aaron had a decent day, but had a lot of neck pain. So anyone that visits, remind him to do his neck stretches ; ) . What else can I tell ya…um…yeah I thought he was doing excellent given his pneumonia #2 episode earlier in the week. But Aaron just fights on through..he’s a troooper!! : ) I left tonight to a beautiful sunset…I took a picture, but lost my patience when I try to post it to the website…so I will send that to Curt, so you can see the great view Aaron has at Speciality Select!
On behalf of Aaron and the family, thanks for all the prayers and support! : )
You better start doing those neck stretches. Don’t make me come to the Burg and kick your butt..:)) Keep up the good work. Praying for you..Love ya.
To Diane (Mom), The answer to both questions is yes: She does have a daughter who lives in the Seattle area and yes she was hit by a car. I just found out last night when we were at Hoss’ what Ellen’s (my friend’s name) room number is. I have not visited her yet–I just found out she was admitted to the hospital (Select Specialty) on the day we visited Aaron. She is a great lady and I know she would appreciate your prayers.
Mammaw! Does your friend in room 402 have a daughter who lives near Seattle? Was your friend hit by a car?
Hi Aaron, Pappaw and I just came from Hoss’ and saw a lot of people. Through a lady who works at the Sr. Center, another pastor said he will be praying for you. Many people asked about you today at volleyball. Aaron, you hit the jackpot when you met and fell in love with Jaime. It works the other way, too. God bless you both now and in the future. May friend, Ellen, is in Room 402. She is a dear lady who is in our quilting group at the Senior Center. She was just admitted to Select Specialty last Wednesday–the same day we visited you–but I didn’t know she was there until the next day. We pray for both you and Ellen every day along with hundreds of others. Keep the faith. God never will leave you if you put your trust in Him.
HI Aaron
You are never far my thoughts and prayers. You amaze me everytime I read through the daily blogs. Keep on truckin’
I’m really glad Kelly was able to visit you. She was really bummed when she heard the 18 thing. It’s a little scary though considering she’s only 12. Keep fighting the good fight and as always our prayers are with you daily
I’m glad to hear you and J had a date night 🙂 She was happy when she came back in town last night! Hope to visit you soon, miss you everyday!!
Love,
Shanna
Keep fighting buddy! I still think about you and pray for you daily! We love you sooo much!! You are such an inspiration to so many people all over the world! You are AWESOME!!
