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

Wednesday Update

Today was a tough day for AA. He has been very uncomfortable due to the following reasons:
• Surgery Recuperation
• Mucositis Mouth Sores
• Body Swelling
• Bad Rash On Lower Stomach
• Constipation
• & For The First Time He Has Caught A Fever.

Catching a fever officially makes our stay here a very long one. They have to make sure they give him a wide range of blood tests while making sure his body is functioning properly. He is now on anti-biotics due to the fever and the possible infection he has. Fevers usually = an infection.
His morning X-Ray went well and there was nothing causing him issues in his belly while his kidneys and bladder are working properly as well. We missed his hearing test because he was very cranky. He got so upset at me when I took away his water just before the test. We will have the hearing test tomoorow now. He still has not eaten but at least drank 6 oz of water with Miralax in order to help him go to the bathroom. He has not done number 2 since Friday morning. We did find out that the Echo Cardiogram which was done on Friday showed that he has some slight abnormal findings for the first time. They say it is caused by the chemo and will be watching it closely.
Hope you guys are having a good day.
Roi

    Hi guys. I just want you all to know that AA continues to be in our thoughts and prayers. I have a 12 year old that asks about him too (I had explained to him about AA before the marathon). I continue to check your updates. (Of course always waiting for a miracle). I am glad you do the updates. And I am sure in some ways, writing has become therapeutic for you guys. You are all going through so much and I hope that all your stresses will be lifted once your son fully recovers. I know it is tough and easier said than done, but remain positive! Take care!!!
