Hello, everyone!
I'm updating for Aaron today...he's tired and not up to blogging right now, but he did want you to know how things were going. This morning he is finishing up Round 5 of his chemo and he should be discharged in just a couple of hours. He is looking forward to being home. Aaron experienced a couple of bumps in the road this week. Due to the infection he had last week, Dr. Reid thought the safest course of action would be to take out Aaron's Hickman catheter ("the tubes" as Aaron affectionately refers to them) and put a PICC line in his arm temporarily so that they can continue to administer medications, draw blood, etc. He had those procedures done yesterday. He'll get IV antibiotics every day for the next week and then sometime before Round 6 begins, he'll have surgery to put in another Hickman. All of these things are relatively minor and you'd think we would know to expect the unexpected by now, but they still seem to cause a little anxiety. Other than those issues, Round 5 went fine and we are glad to be able to say we have fewer rounds in front of us than we have behind us now! Thank you all for your prayers and words of encouragement!

I love the guest blogger so much!!! Not that we don't love you too, Aaron, but Shan, I agree with Jenni....you are a true blogger at heart!
Love you all and are praying for you!
I don't leave this link to depress you - I am so encouraged and challenged by your words through this trial, and likewise by the wisdom and faith of the man writing this blog: http://thehokeypokeyplace.blogspot.com/
Maybe you guys can connect and encourage one another. God bless you! (Hey Shanda! Great to hear from you! sharon)
Shanda-
So good of you to keep us updated. I've been praying for you both. I saw a few girls from your MOPS group and they updated me as well. Take care.
Greg & I are praying for you guys. Aaron, hang in there, man. I'll get Greg online one of these days to post. He's not a blogger yet...just know you are on our hearts and in our prayers.

Hi Aaron
Glad you made it through Round 5. We will continue to lift you up in prayer. I've forgotten how many rounds you have??
Our whole church is praying for you, God is listening and we will continue to pray.
