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

Saturday Morning Post-Op Update

Good morning everyone....
Just wanted to let everyone know that considering all things AA is doing pretty well. Neuro-Surgery is happy with his progress up to the moment and all was well with his 8am Cat-Scan this morning. The scan went well enough that they will be discharging us from New York Presbryterian and letting us go back to Sloan to recover further. He had a slight fever last night but after an operation that is very common to have within the first 24 hours. His temperature has now gone down and is more stable. He has now been approved to drink clear fluids like water and apple juice. He so far has had 1/2 an ounce of water which is great and we will try apple juice once he wakes up from his nap. He has already watched his Thomas the Train show and his other train cartoon Chuggington while being pretty alert to his suroundings. We also wanted to thank one of AA's doctors, Dr. Lightner for coming to see us on her day off. She came to visit us and see how Mr. AA was doing. We truly appreciate the gesture because we were able to spend an hour with her and it was amazing because she sacrificied an hour away from her husband & son in order to see how AA was doing. Not too many Doctors do that any more. Thank you soo much Dr. Lightner. We love you. We will keep you all updated as we get more info.
