Aiden update.. Posted Pictures! Must end the Aiden thread. Aiden is doing excellent. THANK YOU COTH!!! (137) 1/23

[knowonder]

Hi everyone–had to come back home and work a little–depending on how things go today, I will be going back to the hospital in Atlanta either Tues or Friday–whenever Lisa wants me there.

I just wanted to take the time to thank you for all of your incredibly wonderful words to encourage me and the Hawk family–I can’t possibly explain what they have meant to me.

I know what the doctor’s have said–but I am PROMISING you this here and now–if we get down to the wire and Aiden doesn’t get this liver to work and can’t get another one–WE WILL CONVINCE THEM TO LET US DO THE LIVING DONOR SURGERY. I swear to you and to the Hawk’s–this child will have every chance to stay here with us. I’ll go to the mat on that one.

But for now–let’s concentrate one making this one work–the last labs hadn’t gone up–that is a victory in my book–pray for those numbers to start coming down, for Aiden to fight for this liver, and for that precious donor baby to lend us his support from the Father’s arms.

It’s time to pray but it is also time to fight–don’t any of us dare let a negative thought enter our minds–no more “hoping” this or that will work–fight, demand, beg, plead, bribe–whatever it takes.

I didn’t name Lisa “Xena Warrior Mommy” for nothing–and you all have graciously dubbed me “Knowonderwoman”, well folks it’s time for us all to be that person–keep up the support–Lisa really needs it and I’ll keep you posted as soon as I get updates.

I love you guys!

I’ll keep jingling for the rest of the week! Good luck, Knowonder, I do hope everything works out this time - it would be such a wonderful Christmas present for Lisa and Aiden.

[Marimee]

Although I haven’t posted much, I’ve read every page of every thread! I’m SO, So glad that everything is going well for the Hawks. Some of us have older kids (2 yr old here) and have leftover smaller diapers that I would love to send. Just let me know where to send? Georgia or Florida. They are sitting in my closet without a home!
God Bless!!!

[knowonder]

I have to admit that I take and have taken vicarious comfort from all of your posts supporting Lisa Joey and Aiden–it really gives me the warm fuzzies when I read these threads and I think of all you guys who have done SO much for Aiden and who really care about this family.

Thanks from the bottom of my heart!

Duffy–Thanks–I’m just REALLY glad we’re on our way!

Thanks guys!! I am so glad I have this to share with you. Can you imagine what my life would be like with out you guys as Aiden’s cheering section??? When things got bad, I mean real bad, I had prayers from you. I was able to turn to you guys for comfort and relief. Now when things are better (and YES they are better!) I can shout it from the rooftops and share my joy and miracle.

DMK:
Thank you for sharing you story. I never knew that about you. God bless your sister. I pray that one day there are enough organ donors that NO ONE ever has to wait or get sick while waiting. PLease thank your mother for sitting with me and my family in our virtual waiting room. I am so honored to have so many wonderful people present as these events have unfolded. Thank you. Come and visit, if you get a chance would love to meet you.

Save a life, be an organ donor

I am soooo happy!!! That is the greatest news I’ve heard all day; praying a jingling like mad for tomorrow!

Merry Christmas Aiden and the Hawk family!

Hallelujah!!

Prayers that everything works out and <<<HUGS>>> for you all!

It’s windy up here in Virginia, blowing hard, blowing south, to you.
It’s from us. All of us from Canada on down, sending you everything we can. Hang tight, honey, we haven’t sent you everything yet, not by a long shot.
There’s more and more and more on the way.
Praying hard.

Hey Lisa, you won’t believe the post I just “found”. Just for fun, I clicked on page 50-something of the threads, and found the one from “fake name” immediately! It’s so funny to read your post from the very start…I only joined the board in October of '02, so Aiden was already born, and like some of the posters, at first I thought he was a horse, so I didn’t even read the thread. I finally did, though, and became a part of the “Baby Aiden virtual family”. I wish I had known before David did when I was pregnant, but we found out together. Anyway, I just thought it was so weird that that post just jumped out at me…if I’d searched, I couldn’t have found it! Anyway, so glad Aiden is giving you fits now!! It’s about time you experience that temper tantrum!! In another month you’ll be saying to yourself, “I really wished for this?..”

I am so happy for WHY this thread can be closed. It is wonderful to see his cute little pink cheeks

that said, I will miss the updates, even though I’m sure you can post pictures of his next ride on a horse .

thank you for sharing your little precious bundle with us, and best of luck in the future.

soon your biggest worry will be the TERRIBLE TWOs

especially to Aiden, Lisa, Joey and family and friends.

First thing for me this morning was checking what is new ? Is the surgery over ?

It is over. It went well. This was the first step. And now: hang on Aiden and make it for the future !!!

My best wishes are with the family of the donor. If they’d know what the death of their child lead to, they’d be comforted for sure. Especially with all the wishes and all the prayers of the members of this BB they are in. Maybe once they will read this thread.

I am thinking of you (the Hawks) and all the people being involved in the medical part of it.

Have a Merry Christmas !!!

At our evening Christmas Eve service at church, Aiden’s name will be first in my prayer.

[laurie]

What a wonderful Christmas it will be for Aiden and the whole family. I’m sure that at many Christmas masses tonight and tomorrow, Aiden will be in all our special prayers,

[HSM]

Hope you had a restful and healing night little one.

Merry Christmas Eve to all of you. I will be adding you all to my prayers at our late night service at church tonight. (And jingling and praying all day long as well! )

[Cinnybren]

Little Aiden, hold on to that mane, you can do it. Father in Heaven, please keep your strong healing arms round Aiden, guide the surgeons in their work to get that liver up and running. Send you angels to watch over all the family, friends, doctors and nurses. Thank You for Your miracles and grace.

[SCC]

Like Ishi, I have not posted yet about Aiden but I check in every day to see about progress. I have tears streaming down my face right now.

I am honored to be a part of this group.

My thoughts and prayers are with all involved as we move through this holiday season!!

I hope Aiden will get the rest he needs to keep up this brave fight. Praying here for rest and comfort for Aiden and the same for you along with a healthy dose of peace of mind. And I thought my children had worked hard to make me old and gray!!

Take care Lisa – you three are in our thoughts and prayers at all times these critical days.
