Hello again,
Aaron got the rest of his staples out - we did not count this time but there were at least 25. He also got to eat - - - - - yeah - - - - - and kept it ---------- all. woo hoo!!! the G tube is still clamped and things are progressing without nausea!!!! He had an 'upset tummy' after eating but no nausea. Considering his tummy has had no solid food in 14 days that is pretty good!! He did not eat a hamburger - decided to wait until tomorrow. Did not want to 'chance' the perfect food!! We have not seen the urologist or Dr. Garcia yet so we still don't know anything about the bladder. Don't think they know what to do - things are just supposed to work when you remove the catheter - and when it doesn't, well, - - - that is why they call it 'practicing' medicine. . . . catheter is still in so will probably be in till at least the morning. yuck!!
Daniel and Caleb have we told you how much it hurts to laugh? Aaron found out tonight. Great joke!!! Thanks for 'doctorin' us in such a 'real' way - as they say laughter is the best medicine!!
To all of you have sent word that you are reading the blog but can't post - don't worry about it - - i probably couldn't figure it out either. . . but thanks for caring so much that you try! Your cards are amazing. I started putting them up in the room - but there isn't nearly enough room. Hallmark loves the Johnson's!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I have a special request that is not for us. There is a young lady down the hall - 36 yrs old that i mentioned earlier in a post. Her name is Beth. She has been here 2 mos. and is in emergency surgery right now to 'rebuild' her pouch for the 4th time. Due to disease in her body her first pouch failed, her second pouch was destroyed in a car accident the third pouch just did not work - so they are trying again. She has been sick since she was 16 years old. She is a very, very sick lady. Her family are strong believers but stand in need of some intercession. You guys are the best i know. So please pray on . . .
In Him,
nise

Hello Pastor Aaron and Denise!
We will pray for Beth and her family. They have already been blessed by getting to know you! Again, thanks so much for taking the time to keep us posted! Hallmark is probably researching who this Pastor Aaron is... next thing we know we will have a Pastor Aaron Holiday... we will eat hamburgers and banana popsicles! We miss you guys and are thinking and praying for you constantly!
Love,
The Edwards
Pastor Aaron and Denise,
Today I thought about how sad and lonely it has to be to not have Jesus and how so many people miss out on the family you develop through the body of Christ. I read the messages that are posted daily and are overwhelmed by the love and support that are going back and forth. I know that I wouldn't be who I am today without my Savior and also my brothers and sisters who have carried me over the years. It sure does open your eyes to those around you who don't have this kind of fellowship. They're at the grocery store, baseball field, across the street, and even possibly in our own homes.
It reminds us all we have work to do. God has a special assignment (or more) for us to do each day. We just have to be alert so we can see it. I can imagine all the special assignments He has given you two as you sit in the bed, walk down the hall, receive mail, etc. Thank you for continuing to give us updates. I'm definitely addicted to this blog site. Where else can you go and get comic relief, powerful messages, sweet fellowship, spiritual encouragement, free advertisement(Whataburger and Hallmark!) and a craving for a burger all in one place?
Miss you both,
Dee
Hello Pastor Aaron & Denise,
It has taken me 14 days to figure this out. Actually I couldn't get the blog up 'til yesterday. Great news on the food. We're pulling for you with the burger tomorrow.
Catherine & I just got through praying for you both. You are in the best of hands (I'm sure the doctors are pretty good too!). We will begin praying for Beth and her family as well.
Don't worry about Summit. All is well. Leon found the key to your sermon drawer, Jimmy has hung a mirror ball in the sanctuary and Lee has the Lord's Supper trays on Ebay. You just concentrate on getting better. Summit will closely resemble what you left when you return.
God is good and in control. Know that you are deeply loved and missed.
Thanks for the updates.
Love,
The Buchanans
Hi Aaron and Denise,
We have been daily reading your posts and have just figured out how to comment (I hope). You are touching so many lives from your hospital room. This is one mission trip you and Denise are taking that reaches around the world. We will add Beth and her family to our prayers.
God Bless You .
We love you and are so proud of you both,
Uncle Tommy and Aunt Glenda
Hi again from the Calandras!
We will pray for Beth and her family. I agree with Traci; we will probably have Pastor Aaron Day! I am all about the banana popsicles!
Denise, did you get outside?
We love you both!
Lori, Davis, and Kyle!
A simple hymn (but the best one ever to be published) to end the day:
There's within my heart a melody; Jesus whispers sweeet and low:
"Fear not, I am with thee; peace, be still,"
In all of life's ebb and flow.
Tho' sometimes He leads thro waters deep,
Trials fall across the way;
Tho' sometimes the path seems rough and steep,
See His footprints all the way.
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus - Sweetest name I know,
Fills my every longing, Keeps me singing as I go.
We love you - Mac & Tina
AJ,
Though you said I couldn't pray for you anymore, I persist. You know I never listen to you. I had to post to keep you honest.... Praying for a time of tether-free living. (BTW, our sanctuary really does have a mirror ball) come visit anytime Jimmy.
Just think a hamburger today and BBQ tomorrow, with a side of bannana popicle. Rebecca sends a big hug your way.
Deborah
