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

Hanging In There

Hang In There AA!

AA is hanging in there today. The doctors still can't believe that he is hanging in there like he is. Yesterday was a pretty stable day for him while he was not as responsive as normal. Even though after his bath, while he was on his mom's lap waiting for the bed to be changed he said "Ah Ah Ah" which in Andrew's language means that he wants to go to bed. We were so happy to hear that, being that he did not say something for about a day. In fact, he is not supposed to being saying much at all from here on. We only hope that his fighting spirit is a good sign and that it's a sign of a miracle. Last night we had some more friends and family come over and even had a prayer group come over for a couple of minutes to pray for us. That was appreciated very much. Late in the evening AA seemed to be "puffy", his under eyes were swollen slightly as were his hands and feet which were also swollen. He now needs an oxygen mask on most of the time because he is now having trouble breathing fully on his own. Will keep you updated as usual. Until next time...
