Thursday update, evening.

Family and friends:
Just wanted to check in with y'all one last time tonight. I've just talked to Mom and Dad. Aaron is having a CAT scan right now. The doctors are concerned that Aaron may have some bruising to his lungs because of the impact of the explosion. They have had him on oxygen, but every time they take him off of it, his oxygen levels deplete more rapidly than they should. This is probably a minor issue, but we are thankful that they are making sure of that.
Dad was on his way out the door to pick Hannah and Audrey up in Baltimore when I spoke with him. Aaron is supposed to sleep after they finish with the scan tonight, so Hannah and Audrey will see him in the morning.
Mom said she has been coughing less today, so please just pray that she will have a restful night and get some sleep.
Dad said Aaron has been very coherent today and is improving steadily, which is good to know.
I am going to get some much-needed sleep now as well. Thank you all for your prayers. More tomorrow.

Hey Haley! Thank you so much for updating on Aaron's condition. I just wanted to let Aaron, you, and your family know that there is a board in my homeroom class that is dedicated to the servicemen and women that we, the students, know. I put Aaron (and eventually, Ryan)on the board as soon as I heard that they were going over to Iraq. We have been praying ever since! We are continuing to pray for him and Ryan. And now with this site, I will be able to update the class. My love and support goes out to Aaron and Kelly, your mom and dad, you and your siblings. I love you all so much!

Haley,
I sent a comment on Wednesday but it appears you never got it.
The Baptists are praying for all of you too, especially for Aaron. This is a wonderful way to keep us informed. Thankyou for giving your time to do this. I know it's hard having your family all in Maryland and being so far away.
I'll keep praying for each request you mentioned.
Our Laura was in Ryan and Aaron's class at CCS years ago so I called her. She is praying too. It will be nice to share all this with her when she comes home Saturday for Easter.I love you sweetie.

Just to let you know that many are praying for you and thinking of you…..

Aaron is admired on the campus of Mississippi State by so many, not only by those he knows personally; but also by those he has never met. I just wanted to write and say that we are moved and touched by the heroism that Aaron has displayed - to us here at MSU, and to those across our country. We are compassionate and concerned about Aaron’s condition, yet we are grateful that he is home in the States with his family and loved ones. Please know that there are many prayers being said for Aaron, his family and loved ones during this delicate time. We are so proud of all that Aaron has done, and so compelled by his endeavors to protect our freedom. Thank you, and may God continue to bless and heal you!
Please know that many prayers and thoughts from Mississippi State are with you.

“For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
– Jeremiah 29:11

Love and Prayers,
Rachel McDonald

Lee and Tina Sybert:

Dear Aaron and Kelly,
WOW! We are so impressed with you Aaron. You are an encouragement to all of us. You and the family are in our prayers everyday, and we love you. We honor you as the valiant hero that you are.

Lee has been in Iraq for almost 3 months, and news travels fast. He knew almost right away about your injuries. He has emailed twice wanting an address and phone number if possible. He wants to come see you when he gets home. He said to tell you hi and he wants to know what he can do for you.

We love you bunches. God bless!

The Sybert's,
Bob, Tina, Lee, and Ross
