Where does the time go? Today marks SIX years since Aaron's accident. I still remember that day like it was yesterday. From what we can tell, Aaron still has no recollection of that day or the months that followed it. Many of the things he does remember from early on are from the pictures he has seen and the stories he has heard.
Aaron of course is doing great at home and we couldn't be happier! He has started to unload the dishwasher for me (although I sometimes find things in strange places or simply can not find them at all), he can get his own drink (he loves to turn the ice machine on when he gets it and by the time I notice it's overflowing), and he can put his dirty laundry away (except for socks, they seem to like the floor next to his side of the bed for some reason). And if you follow Aaron on Facebook you might have noticed that he is bored...a lot! I promise you that we really do try to keep him busy and he often posts once he gets done doing something fun and is resting for a bit!
Aaron has also been reevaluated for therapies since coming home and is working on some new physical and occupational therapy goals. During another evaluation, a psychologist was surprised to hear the progress Aaron continues to make as far as SIX post accident and said it is rather unusual...GO Aaron :0) Most of Aaron's medicines have been discontinued as well (we haven't messed with the seizure medicines at this point and don't have any plans to for a long time)!

Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who has helped us get to where we are SIX years later, there are way too many of you to list by name but you are an important part of this journey too! So many of you (family, old friends, and new friends) have played very important parts in our lives over the past six years...for those who have been our cheerleaders...for those who let me believe in miracles...for those who listen to Aaron stories...for those who celebrate milestones big and small with us...for those who help me take care of Aaron...and most of all for those of you who continue to be a blessing in our lives!
Don't worry about anything instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need and thank Him for all He has done. -Philippians 4:6
