Aidan's Journey

Aidan's journey began on Monday, Dec 3rd 2007 when we received a phone call that came so unexpectedly. After leaving work, we received a panicked phone call from the Kaiser Peds staff saying that at that moment his blood panels had come back from a check up that morning and Aidan was critically anemic. Do not stop for anything-dinner, clothes, nada. Drive directly to the ER and check right in. The blood tests he had taken earlier that day revealed that every part of his blood test-hemoglobin, white and red cells etc were critically low and further tests needed to be done asap. Hours later he was given two units of blood and platelets. The next morning tests confirmed our worst fears. Aidan's blood was full of cancer as he was diagnosed Tuesday night with Leukemia (Acute Myeloid Leukemia).

Aidan,

Boy do I love seeing that big smile on your face and you wearing the Clemson gear we sent to you! I hope you will watch the Chick-fil-a "Peach" Bowl on New Year's eve, and help me cheer the Tigers on to victory! The Clemson Tigers are my favorite team because that is where my son went to college, and it is close to where I live. Cheering for my Tigers team is one of my favorite things to do! I work with your Grandpa at Fluor in Greenville, South Carolina. He is really nice, a hard worker, and funny too....don't you think?
