Yes, that’s right Norsire - amazing isn’t it?
Yes, we will be watching him jump around but who on earth would have the guts to judge the horse show? If they do not let precious baby Aiden win their name will be mud forever…lol… and who would coach? George Morris himself may not meet up to our standards for this child… and what pony would get the honor? Man the list goes on and on… Sleep tight baby Aiden and rest up… you have a whole big world out there waiting to spoil you rotten. Good night sweet baby.
I hope he has a restful night so that the New Year starts out right!
Happy New Year, and here is to a good beginning to the new year for Aiden and the Hawks. (raising my perverbial toast glass).
Oh no! 
Keep on fighting little guy!!!

More bedtime prayers for Aiden…each gift I wrapped tonight included thoughts and prayers for more and more and more strength and healing…
When I was almost finished my shopping tonight, around 8:30, I remembered a little religious shop that Sister Kathy (our school principal) wrote home about a while ago…I decided I’d get at least one “holy” thing for each of the girls for Christmas…so I drove through the main street of the village it’s in, thinking that of course, this late it would be closed, but I wasn’t quite sure where it was, so I figured I’d just scout it, and stop in tomorrow…well, it was open, so I parked and went in…As I stepped in the door, the lady in the shop looked up and looked right at me and said, “You want something for a baby boy?” Of course Aiden was right there, in my mind, where he’s been all day, and all I could manage to say was “YES!” As I finished paying for the items I found (I also found some things for the girls), the lady asked if I’d been in before, because I looked so familiar–I must have been staring at her at this point; I can’t even remember what I said back…She was shutting the lights out and reaching for her keys as I left–the hours on the door said that she closes at 6pm!!! 
Looks like I’ll be heading to the post office tomorrow!

Don’t worry, I don’t think his scar will be that visible when he is older. By the time he is 18 I bet you probably won’t even be able to see it.

Goobs, you are NUTS!!! That scar is going to make him the coolest kid in his elementary school classes! Who would want to hide it? 
What if the Hokey Pokey IS what its all about?
I don’t normally post on this thread, although I read it daily if not hourly.
There was a news story on the local channel on live organ donation for a man suffering from liver failure. In this case it was his sister that was able to donate, but I think that this story is more compelling.
I believe that People is the most likely national publication, but even magazines like Redbook and Self could be good candidates

Finally nestled in. Well not nestled. Boy this one little baby sure has a lot of stuff. Joey and i will be busy all night unpacking, and moving from one room to the next. I am so overjoyed to be here.
The plan: As follows, Aiden will now have a nurse come here to the apt. and draw Aiden’s blood everyday. 
It was going to be three times a week, but Aiden’s immunesupresion numbers (prograf numbers) were too high. So they are now going to keep a little closer eye on him. This is actually a good thing. That means they are lowering his immune supression drugs because heis NOT rejecting!! 
But still have to watch and balance it everyday. Aiden also has IV meds for the CMV running two times a day. They run over 2 hours. In between those times, we are FREE!! The three of us are so tired, we will probably sleep for days. (PHEW! I can finally sleep next to Joey and not be on a couch!!! that is how we slept for the last month )
Aiden is doing better than they expected (who is “they,” not me!! 
) He is now sleeping like an angel on the big comfy bed. Joey and i just ordered a pizza and I am starving!! Time to celebrate no more hospital food.
I will be back online very soon. For now, I wanted to tell you THANK YOU FOR STANDING BY US!! The journey is not over, but I not only SEE the light I am PLAYING IN IT!!! 
XOXO

Save a life, be an organ donor
If I ever had a daughter, I would be honored if she would have even half of your strength and character. You are an inspiration.
I’ve been so busy that I haven’t really had time to read your posts Lisa but I have been checking out the updated titles and thinking of him everyday! I’m a little confused about the Mason house…Can you explain it to me?

Such wonderful news that all storms are being weathered with only a few claps of thunder now and then. “Our” little cherub has nothing but blue skies and sunny days ahead.
I love that idea of wearing a curb chain on the wrist, I hadn’t thought of that. I have a super old one hanging in the tack room somewhere. I may just do the same thing.
May God bless all of us and keep us all safe as we move ahead into a New Year.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
or we could all just go get those little Tiffany ‘curb chains’ with the hearts on them… 
Still in our prayers here…hang tight little man.
For Aiden…
‘People were bringing little children to him, for him to touch them. The disciples scolded them, but when Jesus saw this he was indignant and said to them: “Let the little children come to me; do not stop them; for it is to such as these that the kingdom of God belongs. In truth I tell you, anyone who does not welcome the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.” Then he embraced them, laid his hands on them and gave them his blessing.’ Mark 10: 13- 16
And for Lisa and Joey…
PARENT’S PRAYER
Lord, I am angry and afraid today as I try to cope with my child’s illness.
You prayed in your agony Lord to let this chalice pass.
Give me the strength to watch over my little one well
And to say with you ‘let your will be done, not mine’.
(((((HUGS)))))
a good cry!! And I thought I was being so cool and suave about this.
YAAAAHOOOOOO!!!
All I want for Christmas is for this all to work out!
(y’all timed it this way on purpose, didn’t you?)
Thinking of you today, best of luck all around.
I have all the faith in the world that Aiden will get past any and all bumps-in-the-road! He is a fighter–and doesn’t have to tote around all the “baggage” that we adults inflict upon themselves, We tend to worry and fret about every step along the way to our recovery. That’s what depletes us, more than anything,I think 
Since our Baby is still young enough to be free of all of that, he just keeps on truckin’! All of his energies go into taking nature’s cues, instinctively knowing when to rest and sleep, when to eat, how much–and how to turn feeling “good” into a healing step forward. Our little Lion is in tune with nature’s miracles. I really believe this!
So, all of us “grown-ups” will just have to do the fretting, the while Aiden takes care of business! He’s already demonstrated that he knows how to “kick on” and keep that winning attitude going!
We are your cheering section, Sweetie! Our never-ending love, prayers and Jingles will continue to lift you up and over even the toughest hurdles! But you will win–because you are a Star! Shine on, Baby! We’re with you!
It is the New Year here already. Let me tell you it has started perfectly for us with a much needed (but not drought-breaking) inch and a half of rain.
May your year start (and continue) as well as ours has.
I really think this is a special time of year for babies – and look at this! It’s so wonderful, I’m speechless (and my friends will tell you that doesn’t happen very often).
God bless you all and keep you in His care. What a wonderful Christmas present!
I love the baby pictures. When I saw the pics I realized that, really, babies are the future and the future looks good. Thinking of you. Much Love, Happyhocks
Oh Lisa…
<<<<<<<HUGS HUGS HUGS HUGS HUGS>>>>>>>>>
I’m jingling, jangling, and crossing everything crossable.
Keep fighting, Aiden! We’re all pulling for you!
Lisa, you are an inspiration to us all.
I am certain, positive, that a donor will be found soon for Aiden; in the meantime, take care and give darling Aiden mucho kisses from his virtual BB aunts.
