A Great Attitude!

Some of you have asked for an update on Aaron. I want you to know how very grateful we are for your continued prayers. He is continuing to have chest scans every 6 months to monitor the growth of the tumors in his lungs. There are numerous tumors in both lungs but the good news is that their growth continually proves to be very slow. Since chemo and radiation are not options, they plan to do surgery to remove them at a later date when they are much bigger. Right now the tumors are extremely small (about the size of the tip of a pencil) which would make them hard to surgically remove. At the rate they are growing, that surgery date could be many years away! So in the meantime, our prayers are first of all for complete healing--we serve a great and mighty God! Continued slow growth would be good to buy time for a cure. We are also praying that the disease will not spread beyond his lungs. Aaron needs our prayers as he continues to deal with it. It's always there, growing inside of him. He has a wonderful attitude and is taking it all in stride. It rarely comes up anymore until time for those scans which are an ugly reminder of what he is living with. Thank you, dear prayer partners!
