Happy Anniversary to Us!


Today is our 3rd Anniversary. 3 years ago I married the love of my life it was SUCH a wonderful day. I would have never believed that in 3 years we would have had the life experiences that we have had. We have lived in 3 places (each one getting progressively better than the next). Our first apartment was so charming...put it this way...if I ever think a house is charming again I am running the other way. Our second place we moved into because I was pregnant and there was no way we could have a baby in the "charming" first apartment. We moved into a condo to prepare for Aaron...only to welcome him into the world about 12 days later. We welcomed the most beautiful baby boy into the world and I watched as my husband instantly became a daddy when he heard Aaron's first cry. When I originally found out our due date (August 4th) we talked about how we would be spending out second wedding anniversary at home with the baby. While we did have a pretty low key day last year it wasn't quite as planned. Now here we are our 3rd year we have handeled everything that has come our way. People often say to us, "You two have been through more in your marriage then some go through in a lifetime". It's probably true, but one thing I know is that there is nobody else I would have wanted go through it with.

You are both an inspiration to many people who take life for granted and those who don't take their marriage seriously and feel it is something that can be ended because "life didn't go as planned". Your dad and I love you both very, very much.

Is it amazing how much your (our!) lives have changed in 3 years? I know how strong our relationship is through losing a child and I am sure yours is as well... I am glad you truly have found your other half in each other!

Happy Anniversary, I love that picture of the two of you.

Aaron didn't make it.

About 3 hours ago, Aaron passed away. After speaking with his doctors earlier in the last few weeks, we decided that if at any point they were no longer supporting Aaron's life, but instead preventing him from dying, that we didn't want him to suffer any longer. We reached that point this morning. Aaron had been struggling for life from Day One, and after surgery, and several weeks of fighting, Aaron ran out of strength. He fought hard, but the strain of surgery just proved to be too much for him. I'm sure I'll feel up to posting more information later. I just don't seem to have any energy left in me for relating this at the moment. But I did feel it was important to share this information with all of you who have been keeping tabs on us. Thank you for your concern, your prayers, and your well-wishes during this difficult time. We love you. P.S.: I'd like to leave you with the following lyrics that popped into my head while we held Aaron as he passed away. They ...

Eighteen.

 18, Aaron. Holy shit, kid (calm down, you're 18 in about 5 hours, I can curse in front of you now, plus, I've had a couple drinks, my language is a bit loose). You're an adult. You're old enough to drive, you'd be looking at college or technical school, or backpacking across Europe in a gap year, or whatever weird thing kids are doing when they turn 18 these days. You'd be a person. A complete, fully realized, adult person. That's weird, kid, gotta admit. So, 18 is hitting your mom and I kinda hard. The idea of you at 18 is really blowing our minds. We were just barely not kids ourselves when you were born, and now we're talking about you as an adult. It's amazing to think about. As you well know, we've done a ton of work with, and fundraising for, the March of Dimes; donated money and goods to community health centers; donated craft goods to a local moms and babies' hospital for siblings of newborns; collected toys, pajamas, and games for l...

IT WASN'T NEC!

After a long day of sitting at the hospital, hoping for the best, and preparing for the worst, the surgeon came in to talk to us and revealed to us that things went better than anyone could have possibly expected. Aaron never had an infection. What he did have though, was a hernia. He had a loop of intestine trapped beneath another loop, and while it was never "infected," it was trapped and deprived of blood, so it was dead. The surgeon removed the damaged loop, and thankfully, there is plenty more intestine left in there for Aaron. He's recovering peacefully from today's surgery, and was already at 28% oxygen (21% is room air) on the ventilator, and his other stats were all back where they were pre-surgery. He's doing fine. I want to thank everyone for their prayers and well-wishes during this time. I fully believe that Aaron wouldn't have rebounded from yesterday's procedure so quickly, and wouldn't have been as ready for today's if not for those...
