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

Wars Are Not Won In A Day

Hey guys....
Apparently our prayers, positive energy, countless tears, AA's constant pain, suffering, weight loss is not enough yet for God to perform his miracle. His results were not good at all. 1) The original tumor in the pineal region (center of the brain) has grown more. 2) The tumors on the spine have also grown. Right now we have to focus on getting AA healthy enough to leave the hospital and start eating again. We are waiting for Wednesday's tumor board meeting at Sloan before we know the next step. The tumor board is a group of cancer professional at the hospital that help decide the appropriate treatment for a patient if things need amending. Chemo for Friday is oficially off the table

Meanwhile, we are totally numb. What else can I say? We are running low on so much of the spiritual fuel we need and keep coming up against soo many bumps in the road. Our front line in this war is taking a huge beating and it really does suck that we have no re-enforcements to call in and help us fight the battle. No secret cure, no miracle drug. Just faith. I hope God hears this because sometimes it feels like he doesn't because try explaining the concept of Faith to a tumor, they just don't get it.
We continue to have faith that God will help us through this and that God helps us keep our promise to AA that "everything is going to be alright baby, God is with us". Everything is going to be alright. I sure hope so.
Roi
