Each of these obstacles would be difficult for anyone to battle. Thank goodness Aiden is in the BEST hospital possible for helping him fight.
Stay strong, Lisa and Joey, the road is rough but the end is in sight.
Love and jingles from Virginia.

I have been silently following this thread for some time now… and I can’t control myself any longer.

Half of Riding is 30% mental … no wonder there are so many bad riders 
so many millions of hugs and prayers for you, Aiden!!! fight, little one!!! you WILL make it through this!!!
there is no question in my mind that God is on Aiden’s side. With His help, that precious angel-baby will get through this thing!!!

WONDER WOMAN–you are an inspiration!!!

Wonderful news!!! Our little lion keeps roaring, huh?
What if the Hokey Pokey IS what its all about?
So far so good! Not only did they call us and tell us that the CT scan was “perfect” but they also said they were able to see the arteries and they were the perfect size from what they could see. This is the most exciting news I have received since my son was diagnosed. I am eleated and have choked back tears all night. I thank Knowonder or what she is about to go through tomorrow and she knows I will be RIGHT there next to her through it all.
I am so excited we are past the CT. I know it is going to work guys! Jingle like MAD!!! 
Knowonder here–
I just looking forward to the bikini wax and the narcotic haze I’m going to be living in tomorrow! We start at 7am–Jingle jingle jingle!!!

Save a life, be an organ donor
DRAT! I had been mulling over the idea of stepping forward for the last month-When I saw the latest about the nonmatch, I was going to volunteer. I was just about to ask the question, when you answered, and on the good side-I am a short under 35 female with type O. However, I am built like my bloodtype “O” and birth control is the only thing that makes me feel human. I can stop the drugs, but forget about getting skinny anytime soon-it took a long time for me to get this way in the first place. 
So-if you can meet some of the criteria and choose to try a grumpy short fat woman with type O-just tell me where to show up.
So many tears of joy. And goosebumps. And more tears.
Congrats to everyone. Family, doctors, nurses, specialists, cyber pray-ers.
This has been a real team effort with one special child at the center.
Home. That must sound like a magic word to you, Lisa… (Even the Mason House. 
)
I also am curious about the length of time (estimate, of course) that you will be at the Mason House. Days, weeks? And what will be the final event that triggers your REAL homecoming?
I'm an organ donor. Are you?Aiden, Lisa & Joey -
You remain in our thoughts and our prayers. Sleep well, little one.
we hope today is another good day for you.
Lisa, I swear I can hear the sparkle in your voice through your post of this evening! Congrats to you, Aiden and hubba!

“It is I.”
Yay yay yay! I am doing the happy dance for you guys!
My fingers and toes and everything else crossable is crossed that things go well tomorrow!
Between a horse that needed his eye stitched up and family in town for Christmas…my free time (what I DO have) was taken away.
I just HAD to get on to see the update! I got chills when I read his levels! I’m praying so very hard for you guys! Hang in there baby!
Sarah~ your pictures are awesome! You are such an unbelievable person.
I will be able to check in on a regular basis now…so I will be jinglin’ away!
Natalie
God Bless you! Thinking, crossing and jinglin’!!!
“A horse is a horse of course of course”…This person obviously never met MY horse!
Lisa, Joey, Aiden and Jennifer -
You are still at the top of my prayer list, I do hope and pray for a Miracle for you all this Blessed Season.
Cheers and jingles,
Brenda & Murphy

Dearest Lisa and Joey and Aiden–you have made my day, week and year! This is the news that we’ve all been been praying for! My heart has been wrapped around you, with every beat! Now it sings!
I’ve been running today but stopped in at my Mom and Dad’s (they are also sick). Mom has been checking in many times daily, as have I. Reading what has transpired today reminds me of a quoto I read long ago in one of Albert Payson Terhune’s Collie Books: “they serve who also wait.” I think we might make that an unofficial motto for this gathering of love, faith, hope and prayer.
Curb chains, lead shanks jingling and prayers continue at this end for all who wait, the Hawk Family, and his caregivers at the hospital. Remember the three P’s: prayer, patience, perserverance.
love, June
Lisa and Joey, I believe in miracles and Aiden IS one. You’re right…he just needs a little rest right now after this tremenduos battle. I am glad you both got some rest too, because like many others have said, you are his strength. I want to tell you how honored I am to have shared in your Christmas miracle…and how impressed I am with your courage and bravery. Just keep it up and take one day…one moment at a time! Thanks for all your updates in the midst of such a trying time…your graciousness overwhelms. There are many, many people praying and hanging in there for you here in Hot Springs, as well as all over the universe. I will keep you and your precious little one in our prayers and thoughts. Hang in there! Jingling for a quick and uneventful recovery! Barb, Sarah, and our “menagerie”.
…I always love your prayers. I’m not so eloquent when it comes to praying, for myself or anyone else. It’s usually along the lines of, “Dear Lord: HELP!!!” 
Suffice it to say, I’m not generally asked to say the blessing at family meals. But I know God hears all prayers, and He knows what is in my heart, even if I can’t make it come out right.
Thank you so much for sharing your eloquence and faith.
Go, Aiden, Go!

I just got home from a two day trip where I had no internet. I just kept hoping and praying to find good Aiden news when I got home. What a little fighter he is. Go pink, ventilatorless Aiden!!!
My husband and I–and he was checking the boards as often as I last evening–went to bed around 10, so we didn’t get the last update until this morning. We called our family and friends who have Aiden on their prayer list and asked for special guidance for the doctors and comfort for the donor family. I cannot tell you how happy we are and convinced we are that organ donation is the way to bring comfort and joy out of tragedy.
I know the road is still long and may God continue to bless all the families. We hope to visit when the time is right.
All our love and support
