Aaron weighs 4 pounds, 7 1/2 ounces today! Wow! We have had a few hospital visitors the past couple of days, and Aaron has been blessed with some very cute outfits! The doctor that was Aaron's attending physician over the previous two weeks was working tonight, and he stopped in to talk to David. He said he was amazed to see the quick turn around in Aaron, and he expressed his heart for these little babies through his words. He actually shared with David that a new baby had come into the unit today that is a very sick case like Aaron; I don't know that baby's name, but would you please pray for him/her? I know more than I wish I did what his/her parents must be going through right now.

As you continue to pray for Aaron, we are really looking for him to learn to eat and for any testing for infections or diseases to come back negative. Also, we are praying that he develops as he should. Thank you for your commitment to walking this journey out with us. Thank you for the faith you have had in God in the midst of this trying time. We have been blessed by each of you. Some are people we see every day or every week; others are those we haven't seen in years. Thank God for a tool like Facebook; it has been a huge support for us as it has enabled us to hear from you and to get information to you. You have blessed us with your commitment to pray, and we ask that you please continue to do so. Thank you!!!!

Notice what his nurse wrote about him: I am a very strong little fighter! He has definitely won the heart of a couple of nurses. When he has them, he gets the cutest clothes and blankets on the unit. They spoil him...and us!
