AA's Mass For The Living-Please Confirm Attendance

Hope every one is having a wonderful Friday. Just want to remind everyone that there is a private Mass For The Living for AA and it is happening the Saturday after Thanksgiving. All The information is below or on the right hand side of the blog. If anyone would like to see us all and wish us luck and join us in prayer as we begin the next phase of chemo this would be a great time to do so. At this point we are requesting that those that would like to come, to please let us know that you are coming via e-mail. We need a confirmation because Michelle's mother & father, Alicia & Hector, will be providing refreshments and snacks afterwards and they would not want to over buy or fall short of items for all our lovely friends and family. We look forward to seeing you soon. Have a great day!

Happy Thursday Everyone

Hello Everyone! Hope you are all having a great week. We are soooo happy to have this time off from the hospital. AA has been doing much better this week. He has been acting like himself again, playing, talking, he even picked up a couple of new words, like purple, scissors and done. He has been getting occupational therapy, physical therapy, speech therapy and special instruction. His therapy has been productive and he seems to be liking his therapists much more than when they started working with him three weeks ago. On another note he started to eat like himself again since yesterday, we are so happy since the last two weeks he was not eating his normal diet.

AA Loves Basketball

I just wanted to share this cool video of AA running around in the school park by our house. He was having a great time and really got a kick out of watching a guy play basketball. He really does show off the set of lungs that he has. I guess like father like son. I must warn you that you will have to lower the volume on your speakers if you are at work. He really does give Pavarotti a run for his money.

Posting by German 2 days after the marathon. Please read!

Thanks to the LeGar's (dog included) for coming out to support me and all the runners in this years NYC Marathon. Andrew is such a handsome little man! And the signs were great! The marathon was a great success and I look forward to running it again next year. The fundraising has gone very well. I expect to finish collecting all the funds before Friday. I was amazed by all the support I received for this cause. What is most important is that Andrew recovers from this battle. Money will not do this...but hopes and prayers and believing can! So let's keep thinking of AA and let's keep pulling for him.

Hope all is well. We are excited to say we have 3 days of radiation left. Also, if you get a chance press PLAY on the song player just to the left of this post and you can hear the song that songwriter Lanny Shermin wrote for AA in colaboration with the Song of Love Foundation. It is awesome. Thanks.

Please Read from German Baez the Marathon Participant!

I just wanted to share this with everyone. Thanks!

German Baez has left a new comment on your post "Run For A Cause! Let's Show Our Support For Team A...":

Hi all. I am the one running this marathon. First and foremost, let us all pray and hope for a full recovery for Andrew Aidan. As for my run, I was going to run it anyway but the best thing I ever did was to decide to use my run to help out this wonderful boy and his dedicated family. So I hope you can help me to raise some money for them. They deserve it. Some charities, you have no idea where the money is going. With this personal approach there is no doubt that the family will control the funds and use them for Andrew Aidan's benefit. I expect the run to be tough but there is no doubt I will be fueled by your generosity and compassion every step of the way. I have never run a marathon. So I am not sure how I will make out...walk, run, crawl...but I will finish! Thanks!

Just 8 More Days

Good day of radiation treatment. Things are so far are looking up and we only have 8 more treatment days.Roi

Radiation is coming to an end. Soon.

We are almost there at the end of radiation. Yesterday was a bit hectic here at the hospital but Mondays usually are. Today is much more peaceful and flowing well. Our little man is doing just great. He has really been enjoying himself.
