Team Aidan Shirts

I had the privileged of going to see Aidan, Samantha, Diane, and Rick. It was so good to see him. He was sleepy during our visit but he did give me the best kiss on the cheek! The next day he started to cough up casts and his oxygen levels dropped into the 50s. He is stable now but does have a fever and they have started him on antibiotics.
While I was there Team Aidan shirts arrived. They were made and donated by Samantha's Aunt Peggy in Maine. Diane and Sam are selling them for $10 and will be donating the proceeds to the "resource room" that is in the hospital for families to use. While we were there the resource room staff had made Thanksgiving dinner for the families. If you would like to help Diane and Sam give back to the people that are making bright moments for them in this trial please email me at melindabeever@gmail.com and I will make sure you get one.
Living on the pediatric cardiac intensive care floor is, well intense. I think that God put them there not only for Aidan to receive extraordinary care but so that they can be a blessing to others. Diane helped a mother ,who was alone, say goodbye to her baby. Not only does Diane have the strength to endure this trial, she is helping others around her. "God made me strong" is her response to how she makes it through the day.
Please continue to carry this family in your prayers. It is critical that Aidan can overcome these casts and infection so he can be healthy enough to receive his gift of a new heart. You can do this Aidan! Lean on the Lord.
