Yesterday Aaron, Beth, and the crew arrived at Uncle Jeff and Aunt Shelley's.
Here is Benj and his Great Uncle Jeff:
Uncle Jeff is the best. :)
They had to hold off getting there for a few days because poor Uncle Jeff and Aunt Shelley had been sick, and Aaron can't risk getting sick before his surgery. Speaking of, his surgery was scheduled today for tomorrow at 1:30. I think he's a little nervous, but at the same time ready to kick this cancer to the curb. When I talked to him last night he seemed a little overwhelmed at the journey he and his family have in front of them, but he knows they have to start somewhere, and he's glad he is starting it where he is with our family (aunts, uncles, cousins) and with a great doctor. Aaron really likes his doctor. He said he was very knowledgeable, competent, compassionate, etc. He also has young children like Aaron.
Aaron had his PET scan yesterday so the doctor will know where to focus his work tomorrow.
Then next Wednesday is when Aaron will meet with the radiation oncologist (we were mistaken in the last post saying that it would be today).
Beth said tonight that they had a good day today and have been in good spirits today. I feel like asking for more prayers is pushing it since you've already prayed and fasted and loved and cared so much! But, if you could pray for my brother and the doctor performing his surgery tomorrow, we would so greatly appreciate it! :)
Please tell Aaron that the Wagners in Ottawa are praying for him. We hope all goes well tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteMy prayers are with you. It was very nice getting a moment to catch up with you at your reunion last year. Give em hell.
