Dear Sweet Aaron,
4 weeks and we have been through more than I thought possible. You are so sweet - even when you are so puffy. This week the name of the game was pee. You weren't peeing then you were, then you weren't and now you are a tiny little bit. We need more, lots more. Trust your mommy, you will feel MUCH better if you pee. We keep trying to tell you that. Your nurses take such good care of you and they want you to pee to.
There are so many people that care about you, and pray for you - some of them Mommy and Daddy don't even know. We get cards nearly every single day - it is amazing and we are so thankful. You seem to be following a lot of things that another baby girl in the NICU did. I talk to her mommy a lot and she makes me feel a little better, but I keep telling you that you don't need to copy her. Last night I was talking to Dr. Quayan before we left. He said that you have had mommy and daddy on a roller coaster ride. I told him that we were told to expect that but we weren't quite prepared for this and then he said that we were on the SIX FLAGS roller coaster :) He made mommy laugh! Then we were talking about how we just wanted you to start losing weight (it seems funny to say that, but we do want you to lose your liquid weight), and he said that he was going to put you on the South Beach Diet. He is silly.
Oh and my favorite thing of the week - you started to yawn this week - it is probably one of the cutest things I have ever seen. I thought that I just never noticed it before (hard to believe because mommy notices everything). But, I asked your nurse Heather about it and she said that it is definitely a developmental thing and it's because your older that you started to yawn. As if you weren't already cute enough.
Well baby boy - I wish you were feeling a little better today for your birthday and everyone will be praying really hard that you are feeling better soon! I love you SO much!
Love, hugs, and kisses,
Mommy

Who knows if it means anything, but it popped out of my memory.
Aaron, sweetie, start peeing for Mommy and Daddy! We all are praying for you to keep up all your hard work!

I know you don't know me, but I am Tracey's aunt and I don't know you guys, but I love this little fighter and even more than that I love the fact that he is surrounded by loving parents and so much family and friends. I find myself waking up in the morning thinking of him, and I begin my daily prayers with him in mind and I send daily updates to my Sunday school class and they are powerful.
Let's hope this Monday will be the start of better Monday's in this little guys life. Happy Memorial Day and may God bless you all. Aunt Cathy - leading the southern vigil!
Love - Bobbi, Bob, Matthew and Maggie
Love to all,
Aunt Kathy Ruth
Nothing is Impossible
(Based on: Matthew 19:26 "Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.")
Nothing is impossible when you put your trust in God;
Nothing is impossible when you're trusting in His Word.
Hearken to the voice of God to thee;
"Is there anything too hard for Me?"
Then put your trust in God alone and rest upon His Word;
For ev'rything, O, ev'rything, yes ev'rything is possible with God.
My mom's been forwarding me the updates (You know how the Christ Lutheran ladies talk!) about baby Aaron, and I wanted to let you and your husband know I'm praying for you guys.
Love,
Emily (Brucker) Salvani :)
