Hey folks.
I just talked to Kelly, and, briefly, Aaron. He's been out of anesthesia since around noon, and unfortunately, he's still in a lot of pain. When he was in the surgery to remove the dead skin from his amputation site, his doctors also did some work on the sizable gash Aaron has on his right foot. It has been stitched up for a couple of weeks, and they needed to go in and remove some dead tissue from the cut to make sure it doesn't get infected. This didn't sound like all that big of a deal since Aaron really hasn't complained much about the pain from the amputation, much less the cut on his foot, so we didn't expect it to be very bad. But as it turns out, it is extremely painful. Aaron's doctors have given him a regular dose of morphine on top of his usual regiment of painkillers, but it doesn't seem to be making much of a dent in his pain. Tonight, please give us all the prayers you can for Aaron's pain to diminish so that he can sleep. From what the doctors are saying, it may continue to hurt him for the next several days, and if that's true, this is going to be an unpleasant week. Please also pray for Kelly. I know it is hard on her to see Aaron in pain. Pray for the rest of us while you're at it, and leave us some encouragement in the comments section. We could certainly use it.
Aaron told me to call him back later tonight because he wants to talk. I'll post a report after I talk to him then.
Thank you.

Aaron and Kelly, though we only know you through this box, (we are church friends of Haley and Dan) we keep you in our prayers for daily healing. We know that the Lord is able to bring you both through this difficult time of pain. The Lord is faithful. You have both been a tremendous influence on friends of ours who were left to languish after Vietnam, who see the Lord at work in a very grand and miraculous way. May He keep you always in the palm of His hand.

Aaron and Kelly-
I know that the current circumstances right now are difficult to understand after everything has been going so well thus far. I know this has been your attitude throughout this entire ordeal, but just remember that everything happens for a reason and God does not give us anything that we can not handle. While being placed back in Bethesda hospital is difficult, it has been God's plan all along even though it seems to be a frustrating one as of now. 2 Timothy 2:1 says "Be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus." I'll be praying that Aaron's pain will subside and that recovery from the surgery today will be fast and efficient. You'll be home in no time! Love to you both! Jennifer
