TRISTAN

Hello everyone, this is Aaron! I finally feel like there is a free minute to give some updates!

TRISTAN!!!! He has his IV out of his ankle, oxygen turned off and eating like a horse! He had a visit from the PT\OT department this morning for his initial evaluation. They will be watching him closely over the next few days to determine whether or not he will go home soon or need inpatient rehab? During the evaluation they poked, proded and stretched him for about half an hour which wore him out completely! The progress he makes over the next couple of days will determine if he needs the inpatient rehab and how long rehab will take! Today is the first day we really saw Tristan's personality come out which was absolutely amazing! Maybe the morphine is finally out of his system. We continue to encourage him to pray on his own and be thankful that so many people are behind him!

From Shannon and I to you - thank you! Saturday morning I was told by the triage attending "prepare yourself for brain damage, paralisis or death." Since Saturday my heart has truely been broken over the last five days watching my son, wife and family in so much pain! God and his family (all of you) have repaired my heart with MIRACLES, prayer, love, affection, gifts, food, generousity and companionship! We have never been so overwhelmed with prayer, prayer requests, prayer chains, text prayers, emailed prayers, etc... The hand of God has been right here on Tristan the entire time thanks to prayer from around the world from all of you! I feel truely blessed to know each and every one of you! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything.

Faith and prayer generates miracles! We have now witnessed that first hand! I will never doubt again!
