On May 17, 2006, Aaron was diagnosed with Acute Myelogenous Leukemia, M5, forcing him and his family into a fierce battle for his life. The initial battle ended in remission but on January 28, 2007, Aaron relapsed and returned to UCLA Medical Center for one long final battle. Monday, April 2, 2007 began the end game--radiation & chemo taking Aaron to the verge death, for the stem cell transplant to graft and regenerate new marrow and blood. By medical wonder and God's grace, this worked. Otherwise Aaron would be in heaven right now. The constant expressions of love and support for Aaron and Natalie has genuinely sustained them and their family.
As of July, 2007, Aaron and his family are at home in Ojai settling into their new apartment and day by day gaining strength. While he has a long, long way journey back to full strength, God's generous provision and grace are continuously evident in their lives. Thank you for your interest and prayers for their well being.
If you, or a loved one, are fighting acute myelogenous luekemia, please contact Pastor Aaron. He would be happy to offer support through prayer or answering any questions.
