I realize it's been a while since the blog has been updated, and I'm sorry about that.
I try to make the posts as realistic as possible and still share how hopeful we are. The reality of this post is that, while no major changes have happened, things are just very difficult.
As we pass the seven month mark, we are thankful that Aron is still alive and that he is awake. It is impossible to know how aware he is of his surroundings and his situation. My parents continue to visit him each day and encourage him, take him outside, and advocate on his behalf.
Advocating for him is exhausting for both my parents - dealing with Aron's healthcare has been difficult - getting answers, calls back, or face time with the appropriate people has been challenging.
This is a daily struggle that hasn't gotten any easier since that terrible day in June. While the shock of everything has worn off to some degree, it is as a friend of mine puts it, the "new normal". Please continue to keep Aron and my family in your prayers.

2011
In the past two weeks, we've seen some improvement! With help, Aron has been able to transfer objects from one hand to the other, interlace his fingers, remove his glasses, identify body parts, point his finger at our mom (he certainly knows who we are!), and remain in an unsupported sitting up position in bed (this was after being put in a sitting up position). Aron also seems more alert and focused. We are encouraged by these small victories. He still has yet to speak, and has trouble holding up his head - but is improving with the head control and continues to make unintelligable noises.
The EEG from December didn't indicate anything unexpected, and the same goes for the MRI. The medical professional who read the EEG did say that it is within the realm of possibility for someone with Aron's injuries to recover, it would just be VERY slow - which is what seems like is happening. We continue to remain hopeful.
On another note: my dad and I will be cruising Aron's Nova Wagon on March 5 at the CPP cruise.
