Greetings All.
Sorry for the time between entries. Aaron has been busy working at getting stronger breathing on his own to prepare for his intense week at Kennedy/Krieger. (More on that later)
Today was his first day of rehab at Hershey. He will be rehabbing twice a week there so he will be in tip top shape come March 1st. He got to do the standing machine for 40 minutes today. It is a piece of equipment that gradually takes him from a sitting to a standing position. He really enjoyed it and was ready to do it again but will have to wait until next week.
Aaron continues to be out and about for appointments, b-ball games, shopping, and dinners out. He, Jamie, Gina, & I went to Rockwell’s the other Saturday and had to wait for over 1.5 hours. We got a free Rhino Tour for our trouble. Went to Smokey Bones the next day but no freebies since we got seated right away.
Keep checking the site as info concerning several fund raisers will be coming soon. Basket Bingo @ the E-town American Legion on 3/20 & a golf tournament in June.
And now the big news………Cousin Chuck from Montana are you ready for this? Aaron has been off of the vent completely for 4 days…..day & night. Look out weeds here it comes. Next step is to get rid of the trach. Chuck…..where do you suggest we toss it?
Gina will be adding pictures to this post later so check back.
Keep on praying
Aaron

Woody&Aaron: Where are the vent weeds indeed! Truth is, Mr. Aaron,You,knowingly or not,decided some time ago where the infernal vent was gonna colloquially go. It is in those weeds you will find it. Aaron, I respect the sheer strength and will you have shown SO FAR in this battle. My respect comes as much from your’ will to put things as right as you can for yourself as (and mabey more importantly) , to put things right for Your’ Lovely Lady Jamee, the cool little spitfire Tory, and the Family and Friends(and it would appear you have copious amounts of REAL ones), that count on You to be a part of their world. Probably a little selfish on our’ own parts, but it matters that you are fired up and a part of Their/Our’ worlds. Guess it could be worse, They /we could not give a such n’ such… But alas, ya just had to be a decent guy.
Follow lifes trail and as you reach various forks,bends,etc. with those that are with you, you will find many patches of weeds and other vegetation in which to toss the various incumbrunces as you continue to whip hiney. I’ve got your’ back man, and if you decide to PHYSICALLY toss the vent or anything else that you no longer need in Montana or mabey the Alaskan Interior Outback, you need only write, call, wish. (Your’Aunt Missy can always help you contact me as can Curt and mabey Gina–Oh!–Hello Alexis!) We will put it or the others where you want.
Rock on Guys, and know we have your’ back.
Alaska/Montana Chuck (and about a ba-jillion other folks whom think you are kinda tough…)
Good morning!Wow!!! What awesome news to wake up to! Praise God!! I have been missing the blogs and have been wondering how things are progressing…well, let me say, that this blog was so worth waiting for…Aaron, what a blessing off the vent for 4 days…I know that isn’t an easy task and you are tackling it!!! I am so proud of your fight and determination. I love you bud and am so thankful for each blessing God is sending your way. Keep fighting!!!!! I will send another meal soon. Any requests???
Wooo Hooo now that is a reason to party!! Way to go Aaron! Xo
Wow! Aaron – you’re so amazing! Sounds like you’re really making some great progress. Keep it up! Maybe one of these days I’ll see you out and about 🙂 Great pic!!!
Keep up the great work, Aarol! I am so happy to hear how great you are doing!!! Love the picture! 🙂 Xo. Love You.
Aaron, I am so happy to hear how awesome you are doing and how you are “out and about”! I will be looking forward to reading your updates while at Kennedy Krieger! And, of course, I’ll keep praying!
Has anyone ever told you, “You Rock!?!?”
Aaron, I am so happy to hear how awesome you are doing! So glad to hear how much you are getting out and how well all of your physical therapy is going! I look forward to hearing your updates while at Kennedy Kreiger!!
You Rock!
Aaron what wonderful news! This is truly an awesome accomplishment. Keep up the hard work as we continue to pray for your full recovery. Great picture, I love seeing you smile.
Aaron, you have a beautiful family I am so happy for you.
Aaron, just read your Dad’s update and it is great to hear you are doing so well and out in about. Can’t wait to share the news with my kids tomorrow. They still remember every day in their morning prayers. Take care, love, Meam
Aaron,
Off your ent for 4 days now?!?!? Great news bud!!! Keep it up, all this hard work will pay off. In my thoughts and prayers
Aaron, I loved seeing you “stand” today during your PT. It was wonderful to see you having to look DOWN to see my face rather than UP from your wheelchair. And I know you loved standing. I’m excited that you are going to continue to do this during therapy!!! Just one of many great things you have to look forward to! Hang in there, honey. Things are going to start happening for you, I feel it!!!!
I love you!
