Andrew Aidan, Our Fighting Warrior!

Andrew Aidan and his dog Beemer have been the pride and joy of their parents, Michelle & Roi ever since they were born. AA loved to take walks outside, play with his best friend Beemer and his Thomas the Tank Engine set of toys along with any other plane, helicopter, car, truck toy he can get his hand on. For those that have met him, they saw the soul of a mature adult in the body of a sweet, loving boy with a beautiful smile. He bravely battled an aggressive, inoperable, rare form of brain tumor called Atypical Teratoid Rhabdoid Tumor or AT/RT that spread to his spine as well. This type of cancer effects less than 50 children a year in this country. He has been an inspiration to us and we are sure he will be a vessel of motivation to those in similar situations. Thank you God for protecting our boy!

Thank You!
Andrew Aidan (R.I.P.) , Michelle (Mother), Roi (Dad) & Beemer

AA is doing better than his parents..as he gains he confidence back and is starting to walk again on his own. Neuro appointment today went well. he got his staple removed from his head and although his neurologist said he is not out of the woods with the Hydrocephalus situation until the tumor is completely gone and not causing an obstruction...he looks and is doing good considering he had major brain surgeries less than 2 wks ago. Tomorrow AA undergoes a spinal tap and blood work with a possible kidney test. We will also talk about his chemotherapy treatment and we need to speak to a social worker for financial help as my hubby is not working, was a full-time student until this occurred and now I on FMLA for 3 months yet I am not getting paid because it is my son that is sick and not me (can't we get a break) all we are trying to do is be there for our son. Monday AA has a hearing test and shortly at beginner his chemotherapy will begin. His treatment will be Mon-Fri
