Aaron asked me (Natalie) to let everyone know how he is doing. He basically feels pretty miserable. He has been having fevers since Monday and has a 102.4 temperature right now. He feels pretty nauseous and is hoping to get some medicine for that tonight. Today, he developed pain behind his left eye. The doctors say that he has episcleritis (inflammation in the white part of his eye) but don’t see any reason that he should be having pain. He will probably be visited by an opthamologist tomorrow. At .4, his white cell count continues to remain in the neutropinic range. He feels too bad to watch t.v. or post on the blog or do much of anything. Hopefully, Aaron will get through this part soon and we can go home for awhile!
We are so glad that we can keep in touch with all of you through this website. Thank you for checking in and praying for Aaron. God is teaching us to rely on Him. We know that He is in control and He is giving us strength as we wait on Him. We love you all so much and are blessed to have you supporting us!
Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears our burden,
The God who is our salvation. Selah.
God is to us a God of deliverances;
And to GOD the Lord belong escapes from death. Psalm 68:19-20
Amen! What a perfect passage. We’ll pray harder for comfort and quick healing.
We love you guys. I miss visiting all the time, but life is hectic and I don’t want to jeopardize Aaron’s health with any unknown lingering bugs…yeah-yeah sad excuse I know. We will make it down there some time I promise :-)
I continue to pray for you both and think about you daily. God is good and He will answer prayer. I have witnessed that and will continue to believe it. Aaron’s body is working hard right now ….even if it looks like all he is doing is napping. I believe God is touching him in physical, emotional and spiritual ways. And I believe He is always right next to you Natalie.
