DAY 12 (by Aaron’s mom)
If Ken, Natalie, or Aaron is too tired, too busy, or too stressed to blog, it becomes my turn. This is Aaron’s new Blog Rule. Of course, this means you read what I think is happening, not necessarily what’s actually happening. Plus, I never report anything I can’t spell ( :
Aaron continues with a mild fever and chills. His docs suspect a small infection, maybe in the lungs. Aaron is still at zero white blood cells so all infections, minor or major, are a concern. It could even be his body’s reaction to his antibiotics, which is really weird. He feels generally bad, but not acutely in pain anywhere in particular. Doctor Paquette is happy with his progress.
A few of you have asked the significance of 100 days. This is part of the Transplant Protocol: Aaron must stay first in the hospital, then near the hospital for the hundred days following his stem cell transplant. That’s the plan, so here we are. God bless you, and thanks for your steadfast prayers.

We’ll be praying that whatever-it-is goes away quickly. :)

I am praying for, loving you, thinking of you, and holding you before God. I love you. God, our Lord and Father, our provider, our comforter, please cover Aaron with your strength and peace.
