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 Tuesday Update

Hi everyone,
Hope you all are doing great. We are doing as well as can be given the situation. AA over the last couple of days has had the chemo therapy induced sores come out really bad in his mouth. For the first time yesterday we saw blood in his mouth but he is still hungry asking for food but obviously unable to eat or drink. He also is unable to nurse with mommy which usually means he has it really bad. Poor thing. He has also gotten a very large amount of blood and platelet tranfusions since the surgery due to his natural defenses being low due to the chemo he had 2 weeks ago. He was also placed on some round the clock pain medicine to help him cope with the pain he appears to be in. We do not know how much longer we will be here but it does not matter as long as we get him healthy. So far he seems good from the surgery. We will have a hearing and kidney test tomorrow in order to see how he is there. Thanks.
Roi
