Had to go grab a new box of tissue that I just bought yesterday! How utterly incredible! I don’t know what to add. Everyone has posted such wonderful words, prayers and sentiments already. Just know that we are praying, (and I’m not a religious person either), jingling and jangling for you all! 
Can’t wait to hear another update!!!
My condolences to the family who lost their child. I cannot begin to even fathom what they are going through. 
“I can justify anything!”

What great news!! That is awesome!!!
YEAH!!! Congratulations Aiden! Get out of there and GO HOME! What wonderful words to hear!
This is awesome. I just was telling my mom about Aiden because we had recieved his christmas thankyou card!!! Let us know hows he’s doing!!!
Just another day!!!
WONDERFUL news! I was away for the past couple of days, but I DID sneak on my cousins’ computer last night to read the latest Aiden update. Saw that he was off the vent, and I slept better last night! I swear, he has been on my mind CONSTANTLY these last few days. I hated being away from my computer! So all I could do was pray.
And you know what, COTH family? It’s WORKING! Anybody in the world who doesn’t believe in the power of prayer needs only to read this thread to have their faith restored.
Go, Aiden, GO!

HAC74… that is a very special reason to post, thank you for sharing that!!
How’s our little Lion this morning?
This is a credit to faith and science both. To surround a person in the hospital with the image of perfection is such a help to the angels~!!! <G> And in this situation there have been both seen and unseen angels~!
What a blessing.
Yay!! I’ve been just reading not replying mostly, but tickled to hear it!! Keep up the good fight!! I will definitely be at Upperville, and would love to help out - let me know!!
Sounds good! Lots of jingle jangles from me and Tap Tap!

This will be my first post regarding your brave child Lisa, but don’t think I haven’t checked in daily to see just how hard he is fighting!
I finally decided to post today after seeing the pictures of you holding your beautiful pink little Aiden who now has a perfect little liver to match his perfect smile. It must be such an amazing feeling to hold your son, knowing the fight he has had and the long road ahead which looks less and less bumpy with every update posted.
I wish you and your husband, and your entire family, well. If Aiden has shown anything yet it is that he is a little hero who will fight and continue to improve with every breath he draws! I suppose he comes by his bravery naturally as it seems to be heriditary. My admiration for you and your family continues to grow with each struggle you face head on and come through with a smile. I doubt that there is anything that the three of you (and all of your wonderful friends and family) cannot face and overcome.
My thoughts are with you tonite and always as I sit down at the computer for the daily updates. Wishing you a speedy trip on out of the PICU…
Cheers

This is just the BEST news! (happydance, happydance, happydance)
Lisa - Have you been allowed to hold him yet? Your arms (and your heart) must be aching to do so.
Been away all day and missed all of this. I’m glad the new liver is starting to work!! I’ll be keeping you all in my thoughts tonight!
Hang in there, you can do it Aiden!!!
I’ve been away from a computer for five days, and so much has happened! It reminds you what Christmas and the holiday season is really all about.
Hang on tight Aiden!
WOO WHO!
What absolutely wonderful news! Glad that all is going so well! We’ve been waiting for this for so long now… it’s amazing that is actually HAPPENING!
I’m so happy for you guys! xoxoxo
Show goals achieved & Sass is in foal! 7 months down... about 4 more to go.
We've got STANLEY! Wings Rock!As many have mentioned, we’re in the season for miracles and they do happen…God will ensure you all stay safe in your travels down this road of the unknown…Jennifer is truly a gift sent from Heaven, of that, I am certain. May the postings here bring the Hawk family and Jennifer the gift of strength and comfort…what a hell of a family this bulletin board has become. The comfort and solace one gains from everyone else is simply a miracle in itself…I am so impressed and so humbled.
I want Winona Ryder to play me!
Rolex, I’m so glad Aiden’s doing better. I follow the bulletin board with bated breath everyday. Did you get the card I sent? I sent it to the hospital address someone posted earlier, not the house address. It’s the one with a picture in it of Tim and I swinging Seamus on the beach.
I also wanted to say as a mother of a 3 lb 11 oz preemie that got out of the NICU in 11 days that you definitely have a fighter on your hands. Get ready. Aiden’s going to be like handling a hive of angry bees some days. “No,” will be the answer to almost every question. He will have no problem having an all out, flop on the floor temper tantrum in front of the Clinique counter.
I cannot wait for Seamus and Aiden to meet – hmmm, maybe in a leadline class. My friend who lives in Virginia has a small pony … wouldn’t that be cool!

Hang tough there my friend.
It doesnt make sense that he has an infection without elevated temperatures??? Does it???
Really jingling and jangling and praying for you all here in Canada …
“Spot”
It is nearly midnight on Christmas day, and even though we have had our share of struggles, I am encouraged and enlightened by the saga that has played out in your family! This year has had so much more meaning for myself and those in my immediate “family” because of your strength and perserverence! I am so very happy and excited about Aidens progress…he truly IS the “Lionhearted” lad. (It is even more endearing that I too am a Leo). Thank you Lisa and Joey for sharing your precious little one with all of us, your journey will remain in my heart and those around me. I truly believe that God called out the angel troops…and I know that they will remain with you all. I am an organ donor, something my family knows and for a while did not understand. But now, even my teenage sons want to be a part in this plan! It has inspired many to share and that is what Christmas is/was all about. Our prayers will remain focused on Aidens recovery and the strength you need to make it thru this! As many have said before me, “…this was my grown-up Christmas wish” and it has MADE our family’s Christmas season! Know that we are here for you…whatever it takes! I hope to someday meet you all personally, and give our pink,healthy and robust little Aiden a big hug! Looking foward to the next update, and still jingling and praying for you Aiden and your wonderful family! God Bless you! Barb. Sarah, and the rest of the menagerie!
Wishin’, and hopin’, and thinkin’, and prayin’!
You guys are in my thoughts! Hang in there!
