Progress Report

Aaron’s blood pressure continues to be a problem. His red blood cell count is down, so he has to have a blood transfusion this afternoon that will take 24-hours to administer. The goal is to still have the heart catheterization on Monday.
 
He has been more tired than usual but that may be due to what is going on inside. Thank you all for your continued support.

Yesterday Aaron was mentioned on the radio!! 95.7 The Wolf and their DJ, Keola, over the course of a half an hour mentioned Aaron twice and played The Climb by Mily Cyrus for him.

 He also talked about his blog site. Please continue to spread the word about Aaron. Our hope is that his story moves people in ways that inspire them to do something or be something wonderful. It has connected people together that otherwise would have never met.

We are so grateful, the Brentwood Press published a great article about us in today’s publication. It’s on page 11A and 17A.

We have received calls from people who have read the article and want to help. One lady who was moved by Aaron’s story, didn’t just want to write a check but wants to help too. She said she would normally just donate money but she knew she had to call to find out more and see where she could be of help.

If you feel the same way here are ways you too can help:

  1. Send an email out to all of your friends with this website address in it so they can read the story. The more people that know, the more we can do – the power is in the numbers!
  2. Write notes of encouragement to the family on this blog.
  3. Pray.
  4. Pray again.

God Bless!

    Aaron is an amazing boy. He is such an inspiration to our family. He is one of God’s living Angels and he is here to teach us all. Look how many people he has touched and continues to touch. He is going to be a walking miracle and we can’t wait to meet him. It is my hope and prayer that God will give you Aaron the strength you need to fight this battle. I pray that your mama is able to get some rest and relieve some anxiety while she is by your side. I know standing by your child bedside can make your feet swollen beyond belief so please make sure you get lots of water to drink while you are near him. Just know everyone is holding you up in prayer. God Bless you and your family, Michele, Brian, Libby, Cam and Blake Smith, Brentwood
