* (asterisk denotes super-terrific happy news, but not the kind that involves massive amounts of urine)
Everything is "as-is." I.E. as it has been. He's still not peeing, still high on the vent settings, and still in a very precarious situation. However...thanks to his tremendous nurse today, both DrummerWife and I were able to hold our little boy today. She took him out of the isolette completely in his bedding and set him into my lap. For 45 minutes, Aaron laid in my arms, and I talked to him, and cradled him, and cried over him. I've never been happier in my life than in the moments that Aaron was that close to me. He's beautiful, he's precious, and he's my boy. And no matter what happens, no one or no thing can ever take away the memories that I have of holding my son.
I'm going to attach a number of photographs. Since my flickr account is completely maxed out for the month (until Thursday) I'm just uploading them here. If you want to download them, click on the picture, and then right click on it in the new window that opens. Then choose "Save As..." and choose a destination on your computer.
And here come the pictures...

He's beautiful and Mom and Dad have been blessed in many ways that can not even be identified today. God performed his miracle of birth long before Baby Aaron was able to see the light of day, and yet he is the greatest gift from God... life. Cherish your moments together for they shall remain in your hearts forever.
Roxanne has just received a call that things do not look good for little Aaron and has rushed to be with him. I pray with all of my heart that God will ease your pain and sorrow with just knowing that Aaron has been baptized and received his angel's wings. If God wills, and calls Little Aaron prematurely, he is guaranteed eternal life with the greatest son of all, Jesus Christ.
Although so many hearts will be broken.....time will pass and God will teach us to go on and we will be stronger for those that will need us to bring them faith, hope, and trust in their darkest hours.
Aaron is love and LOVE is the greatest gift of all for God so loved the world that he sent his only Son to die for us.
May God's peace and love help you through the days ahead and may you know that God has not turned away or ignored your prayers but rather, he has embrassed all of you and blessed you with the entire life of Baby Aaron to cuddle, love, stroke, pray over and hold close to your hearts and to be the passage of human love during his life. God's Blessings and love to all of you. May God's blessings and strength shine upon all of you during this time. You are in my prayers......Love, DMG
