Overview

On January 24, 2014, Aaron was diagnosed with cancer.

Aaron expressed a great desire to chronicle this journey as he fights to win this battle with cancer. He has asked that I, his sister Kim, create and update this blog for all of his family, friends, clients, and anyone who wishes to follow along as he fights to overcome this trial.

Aaron told me that all the Facebook comments, text messages and phone calls have been such a great source of strength and faith-fortifier for him. He and Beth are so grateful for the love and kindness shown, and the promises of prayers given. Aaron says these things have truly encouraged him & strengthened his will to win this battle. So, I'm asking you on behalf of our entire family to never hesitate to send him your love and support via FB, text, email, phone, or comments on this blog because it means so much to him. (Even if you only know "of" him through friends or family members!) He loves reading your encouraging words; he said they "really pump me up." Aaron was in tears when we figured that he may have as many as 1,000 people praying for him already, from dear friends and family to complete strangers. It is so humbling. Thank you so much.

We all know Aaron is large in stature, with viking blood running through his veins. He would be a formidable challenger to any opponent, and we know that it is no different in this situation as he sets out to battle cancer.

Entry 22: Post by Beth

Dear family and friends,
Today has been a really rough day. Aaron's not feeling well and the nausea has gone to a new level. The doctor added a new nausea medication and thanks to Aunt Joanie was able to get the insurance to approve it very quickly before the pharmacy closed. He is still at the hospital getting fluids and iv meds. Please say extra prayers for him tonight and tomorrow that these meds will do the trick so he can have a good last weekend during treatment. 
We are so thankful for all your support! The letters and cards and care packages are amazing and make my day for sure! I'm the kind of person who wants to thank everyone individually but it's just not possible you each are doing so much! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kindness and generosity to Aaron and I and our kids! We love each of you!
Thank you! Beth

    I'm so sorry. We dealt with severe nausea too. Evelyn would vomit over 30 times a night. You will all be in our prayers.
