Everything is working out for us to go to MD Anderson on Wednesday. We will most likely be coming home on Thursday, but there is a possibility it will take an extra day. The social worker at PCH is able to get FREE tickets for Damon, Aaron and myself and a Marriott right there at the medical center had availability at a decent rate. I spoke at length with Aaron's doctor about precautions and even discussed driving, but she felt that driving would be too risky as there would be areas we could lose cell phone service and be too far away from a hospital if needed. She gave me advice on how to protect him as best we can on the plane, and she thinks it will all be fine.
Aaron will have his broviac removed tomorrow morning which is a simple procedure but will be done under general anesthesia.
Please pray that everything goes smoothly and we get clear direction. Please also pray for Ben that he can have an enjoyable time here at home and not miss us too much!

About Me
- Team Aaron
- On August 27th 2008 we noticed that Aaron's leg appeared swollen. Within days he was diagnosed with metastatic Ewing's Sarcoma with the primary site in his left femur and tumors in both lungs. Soon he started a very aggressive chemotherapy regimen. He has finished 7 rounds of chemo and a resection of his femur, and now is undergoing a stem cell transplant. His own stem cells were cancer-free, so they were harvested and put back into his body after a very intense week of chemo that is meant to obliterate his bone marrow. Despite it all he has charmed his nurses and everyone at Phoenix Children's Hospital, and he continues to grow and thrive even when we were told he wouldn't. His prognosis is good, and he is a fighter!
