Well, we saw several drs. on Tuesday. They did not scope or do any kind of scan, but by just looking with the naked eye at Aaron's throat Dr. said he SAW no sign of tumor and it APPEARS to be gone. A CT scan is scheduled for June 30 to give a more detailed and complete picture. We are so thankful and are anxious for the CT scan to confirm that the cancer is gone. However, we were surprised and disheartened when Dr. Magnasun recommended surgery for the removal of several lymph nodes! (We have been so excited as the swollen node has continued to disappear.) Although we have scheduled surgery for Friday, we continue to gather info on this recommendation and are speaking with our other drs. to ascertain the most appropriate and prudent course of action. Please pray for wisdom on this front.
Otherwise, Aaron is continuing to swallow more and more FOOD!! He has actually eaten a few bites of pizza, eggs, ice cream, watermelon, and salad. While he is still getting most nutrition through the tube, he is definitely improving. The plan is to remove the feeding tube during surgery on Friday, so he will be transitioning this week to be able to take in more by mouth. He is still dealing with nausea and vomitting although it has improved some.
My Dad is at home and dealing with effects of chemo. He will go back on the 21st for another treatment.
We are thankful for many things, not the least of which is the love and support of so many. To our precious family of Grace Fellowship: we love you and couldn't make it without you!!!

Aaron and Debbie,
I was so encouraged to hear that Aaron was doing better. We are praying that the Lord would give direction and peace for you as well as for wisdom for the doctors on his case. I pray the Lord will give you healing and a speedy recovery if it's HIS will for the surgrey! Your family are in our prayers and hearts always! In His Grace! Tasha
Aaron,
It is such good news to hear about the tumor. I share your concerns about the surgrey but you will be carried through this just as you have been to this point. My mother had surgrey last week and she is home and recovering. I know for a fact that time in the hospital can be very stressful. Tell your wife to not sleep in the hospital chairs they are awful on your back. Aaron, I have never met your wife but she is obviously a very strong lady to walk this journey with not only you but her father. I pray for her strength as well.

Hey,
It was so good to see and HEAR Aaron Sunday morning leading us in that beautiful prayer and reading
God's word. All seemed normal again. God is faithful and he will not let you have this susrgery if it's not His will. We're praying for wisdom and peace that your doing the right thing.
Love you guys, Tamara
Miss you guys; believing that this too will pass. Remember your testing is precious to God. reading Amy C and she reminds us of Christ's words in Matthew--Blessed are we who are not offended because of Christ. It may be a stretch, but she explains that we are not offended in the details of His course for us. He is trustworthy, and this path has come up for a reason. hangin with you. Hugs, Janet
