UPDATE:
Aaron is home and is doing well. He still can't speak yet... so Kim may actually be enjoying the silence.
She also finally had a few moments to create a Paypal Link for donations. She only did this at my urging and after seeing a flood of support come in for them. So, let's make it worth her time.
Click on the link above if you wish to Donate. Mine has already been sent.
Here's a message from Kim,

The next step is for him to heal up for about a month and they'll do the radiation ablation to knock out the rest of the cancer cells.

She also wanted to thank the XJT Captains from JAX who have contacted her and will be visiting this week. They really appreciate the support.
Also, on the Sick Bank Donation idea. I've hit a brick wall with this one. If anyone "knows someone, who knows someone" or knows of a way to push through a temporary program to help out in this situation... then please let me know and I'll follow through.
Lastly... if all else fails... and you have no money to donate... we may have found another way to "give":
Although no one has figured out how to send beer through PayPal yet...
