First day of school!

A note from Diane:

Hi Everyone!  Well this was a big morning in our lives, Aidan's first day of school!  He was so excited to get to school this morning.  When we got to his class all the other sweet little one's were sitting in the their chairs, oh not our Aidan, he was all over the place checking everything out, and made a new friend in a matter of seconds!  Of course I was a mess, crying... Sam was taking pictures and trying to get Aidan to sit... Rick was standing there smiling...  He waved good-bye to us and said "love you" and that was it, Aidan is in school... How amazing that we are able to have this very special day, so grateful we are. Thank you all for always keeping Aidan in your thoughts and prayers, life is good, we are moving forward!!!  
Always Diane xox
 
Wow! I am so excited for you Aidan. You are one amazing little boy who is loved by many!!

One year ago today...

There is nothing like the love of a boy and his Papa!

A note from Diane:
Life is so good, we have had an amazing year, not always easy, but so blessed!  Aidan is living life to the fullest thanks to all the prayers, love and hope that came our way through the doctor's, nurse's, our incredible family and our loving friends!  Our family and friends never stopped coming to see us (they flew and drove from all over the country), it's what got us through...  We never forget that there is an "angel" and "a family" that gave Aidan this gift of life, how brave and full of love they were to do this...  We are so proud of Aidan, he went through so much to get where we are today, God Bless him always...  We love you sweet boy...

We always pray for all the little heart friends that came into our lives but were not able to go home with their families, we never forget them, knowing that they are pain free, running and playing in heaven gives us some peace...  Fraser, Sam, Amya, Jax, Lily, Sarah, Brooklyn, Jackson, Bobby, Gideon, Evie, Chole & Ethan, we miss and love you, God Bless you all...

We are so proud of all you have done Aidan! You have overcome so much and are an incredibly strong and brave little boy! Keep up the great work. We love you!!

Aidan update

Easter

I would like to apologize for those who have been looking for updates.. I thought no one checked this blog. I am sorry!! Diane will be sending out a one year post transplant update so I will make sure that gets posted.
From what I have heard Aidan is doing pretty well. They have to trek up to Birmingham hospital every 6 weeks but with stomach bugs and small bumps in the road it seems like they are there once a month. There is a cath scheduled for June. He is keeping Sam and Diane quite busy! He has a teacher that comes to the house and he is making great progress.
Aidan's story is an amazing one and I will keep it going! I hope that one day he reads these blogs post and will see how God over ruled for him. That he can draw strength and have unwavering faith in God no matter what is before him.
