Well - it's not looking so great.

The relatively minor procedure they were doing today (relative only compared to what's next on the table for Aaron) led them to find that he's not doing as well as he seems to be letting everyone else *believe* he's doing. He has quite a bit of infected (re: dead) intestine. It will be removed tomorrow, and if it's too much dead intestine, there is really very little the doctors can do for Aaron.

The surgery is scheduled for 2:00pm tomorrow afternoon. So, if you're so inclined - pray around the 2 o'clock hour - for DrummerWife and myself, for Aaron, and for the doctors, nurses, and surgeons who will be attending to him. Pray that God heals his intestine so that they can save enough of it. Or pray that only a small amount is damaged to begin with.

It's scary. I hate to say it, but I haven't had a chance to hold Aaron yet. And if things go badly, I may never get to. I want to cry every time I think about that. I need to hold my son, even if it's only once.

You are the bravest man I may ever know. You wanted your wife to hold her baby on Mother's Day and she did. The happiness on her face will always be with me. You made your father and I very proud. I want so much for you to experience that same feeling. My prayers are that you hold Aaron a million times. God bless you all.

As I opened my eyes at 5:30 a.m., my very first thought and prayer was for Aaron, Josh, & Nikki....and my sister, Pam. I love you all. As we continue to pray for the Wolgemuth and Young families, God is listening.
Love,

Ah Drummer, all the love TNL can send is coming Aaron's way. What more can we say than that? If the power of combined prayers counts for anything, Aaron will have quite a mountain of love and wishes heading past him on it's way to God's ears today. Your other family is waiting and hoping along side you in spirit. We love you.

Josh and Nikki, my prayers haven't stopped for you and Aaron and they won't. As hard as it is to believe, just remember that as much as you love Aaron, God loves him more. Prayers here in Lebanon County are doubling (if not tripling) today! - Sarah
