Aiden's Update:

So my dog passed away:-( but I have a new one!
He is much more playful and active than Buddy.But I still like Buddy. The new dog is named Jiminy Cricket but we just call him Cricket.

Aiden: Spring 2012

Aiden has just started his second round of the mild, oral chemotherapy pill Etoposide. He takes it every night for three weeks and then has one week off. So far he hasn't had any noticeable side effects.

Both walking and speech have become more challenging for him recently. By choice, he walks as little as possible and always with strong support from an adult or teen. He no longer walks up the stairs and even his morning scoot down the stairs has become difficult.

His favorite pass time continues to be spending time on the iPad, usually playing Tiny Chef or watching SpongeBob Squarepants. He occasionally watches movies and listens to music on the iPod. His favorite bands are Owl City and tobyMac. 

I know that so many people around the world have been incredibly kind and generous and would like to get regular updates. To be honest, that is hard for me to do as the news is often not positive. I will continue to update here as long as time allows and as any major changes occur.

We love all our friends and family around the world and pray God's blessings on you all. Thank you for your prayers and amazing support.
