I’ve just got to stop crying at work (tears of joy) for your little boy. People are starting to avoid my library! I haven’t posted before because the other posts seems to say it all, but I just couldn’t resist sending warm thoughts from coldandfrozen Connecticut.
And having attended tonight to my favorite person of this earth, My grandmother, who will turn 95 this coming year…my most treasured person of this life…we decided tonight that this earth may not be the best place in this universe, but we love what it has given to us, even if it was for a short time. I told her the Aiden story and she agreed that it is one of the sweetest stories that she has EVER heard. We’re talking 95 years of wisdom,and living. That’s a long time.
Lisa, Joey and Aiden…my entire (18 souls) family wishes you and your family the best of what life has to offer. That excludes NOTHING that a “normal” family would partake in. Imagine, and that’s what you WILL do.
Best wishes for a very Happy New Year,
Jessica,
and Clue,
and Veron, Jack, June, Jason, Justin, Mark, Dawn, Rose, Tim, Bud, Rich, Meghan, Wesley, Loretta, Judy, Terry, Karen, Mike, Matt, Missy, Lauren, Melanie, Michelle, Lisa, Matthew, Cathy, Greg, Katy, James, Kevin, Brian, Mishella, Susan, John, Nicole, Gail, Dave and Stacey…we all love you and are cheering for you all.
(OK, My whole entire extended family from New Zealand as well!!!)
KEEP THE FAITH.

What a Happy Eve. Not only do we get to celebrate the birth of our Lord, we will be celebrating Aiden’s re-birth.
Whatever dance you choose…just CELEBRATE cause we have a lot to be thankful for.
Praying for 72 hours of ease…We love you baby boy!
Darn Fluid. I know all of these ups and downs have been exhausting for you. Rest so that you have strength when Aiden wakes up. Many, many, jingles.
Lany and family (my kids whose birthday is December 21st are rooting for Aiden).
HAC, glad to have you here. And doubly glad your story had a happy ending.
I cannot remember if I have shared this already (and 109 pages is too many to look back through), but 12/21 is a special day for me also – My wedding anniversary. Not only is it the same day, but I got married on a “double palindrome” day: 12/21 1991. And Aiden got his liver on a double palindrome day: 12/21 2002! 
I am superstitious about things like that – and the day of the surgery was just TOOOOOO auspicious NOT to have a happy outcome.
Hope Mr. Lionheart had a good night and is eating more food today. Cannot wait until the news tomorrow that he is in his own room. (With all the visitors he is going to have, I hope it is a single – otherwise the other child is going to be pushed into a corner. 
)
I'm an organ donor. Are you?WAAAHHHHOOOOOOO!!!
What great news! I’m sooooo happy for you, so very glad things are looking up and going well!
Go, Lionheart!
Happy new year, Hawks!
So glad the news is improving! Our little cub sounds like he’s living up to his nickname 
Prayers are being lifted up all over for your family, Lisa! We loff you soooooo much!
Oooh, Trixie - WIHS, here we come!!!

Lisa, I am so happy for you! What wonderful news!
My husband and I are organ donors and have made clear our wishes to one another.
Grit your teeth (or gums) and hang in there Aiden!

Will check in over the weekend and tonight. Praying for you strongly Aiden. Thalia that was beautiful, my sentiments exactly. Oh gosh how I HOPE he is out of PICU for GOOD by at least Sunday (tomorrow would be better!). My poor little lamb. I wish I could take on ALL your pain, I really do. Hugs and kisses sweetie pie. xoxoxoxo

Logged on just in time for the update!
Lord, what a day, I hope you all get some much needed rest.
Go baby Aiden!
Everything I have that is crossable is crossed for you guys. Hopes and prayers are with you too.

I hope Master Aiden likes lions – it looks like he’s going to be surrounded by them for a long time to come.
As always, best of luck and best wishes and prayers to all the Hawk family and friends. You’ve given US more than you will ever know.
While Lisa was out of the room calling me, Joey’s mom was in with Aiden–she said that while he was dreaming he tried to smile–I think he smiling to the tune of thousands of curb chains and angels wings! You guys are awesome!

If the grass is greener on the other side of the fence, you can bet they don’t have horses…
I’m doing my happy dance I know Aiden’s going to make it, and he will grow up to be a handsome charming man.
Lisa and Joey, I am constantly amzed by your strength. Sarah, you are awesome.
Jingling and praying constantly here.
