Just got home to get stuff together. Aidan's fever is gone-Praise God-but he is on a very strong antibiotic called Vancomyocin(sp?). He will need to be in the hospital for "a while" according to the doctor. I am not sure how long "a while" is. It's a vicious circle-the antibiotics are staving off the infection so they can't just pull him off of them because he is better for fear of the infection returning due to his low blood counts. Also this antibiotic has alot of side effects so they have to check his blood before and after giving it to him. He has to get a blood transfusion today for his low Hemoglobin levels as well. Sounds like they will evaluate him at the end of this week-Friday maybe-and let me know from there.
On a brighter note, my friend Audrey's parents came last night and we had a wonderful visit. They are very knowledgeable in the Scriptures department and entertained Aidan for the better part of an hour with the story of Joseph. Aidan loved it. Afterwards, they laid hands on Aidan and prayed to God for the miracle of healing to be bestowed upon him. It was beautiful and uplifting and we both needed it. Aidan told me afterwards that while they were praying he felt as though the room was spinning and he was being lifted and floating. It is a sign that the Lord was truly present because it is exactly how i felt the day I was baptized at 33 years old and I know I never shared that feeling with Aidan. Afterwards, mommy got some buddy time with Audrey eating sushi and catching up. Thank you Audrey, Gloria and Ruben, we love you.
Dad's coming Friday for about a week and Aidan is very excited. It gives him something to look very forward to-especially since Luis is a terrible shopaholic and does alot of RETAIL THERAPY (like Nana) when he's out here. So we'll let ya'll know how this week turns out and I will log on in a couple of days now that I know there are so many out there actually reading my babble!!
Love Aimee

Dear Aidan,
Thank heaven that your fever is gone. You are the bravest boy I know. How can one grandmother be so lucky?!
I have been back in South Carolina for 2 weeks now. So much happens in such a short time and I am missing "y'all" bunches and bunches.
I have really worked hard in the last 2 weeks "retraining" your Papa. (Shhh! Don't tell him. He thinks he is the boss.)
This past weekend we went to Wilmington, NC to pick up some of Nick's stuff and bring it back to our house. He is going to visit us for awhile. (Notice my carefully chosen words --- visit us ---.) It is a 5 hour drive to Wilmington. It is a lovely ride on a major interstate freeway and sometimes we were the only car on the road on a Saturday afternoon. Unbelievable! Very pleasant! Like your Mom said on the way to Charleston that time we all went "Where is everybody?".
Papa, Nick and I had a lot of fun. We all had dinner at Michelle and Al's house (Aunt Adie's sister).
And Papa and I stayed in their pretty guest room. They just moved to North Carolina from San Diego. They have a beautiful new house that backs to a creek and the forest. So serene.
Well sweetheart, I can't wait till I see you and your Mom and the whole family in March.
Say hi to Dad--nice that he is coming to see you-- and Tito for me.
See you soon,
Love, Nana
Hi Aidan, Aimee and Tito.
It was so good to see you all.
Aidan, I hope you enjoy your
snacks. I will come to see you
again soon.
Hugs, Sedra
Hello Aidan and Amy,
God is good, and he will continue to lift you up. We do look forward to your babble mom, so please keep the updates coming. It is a constant reminder to those of us who are praying, and it's nice to have a specific to pray for. Although we've never met you Aidan, we feel like we know you. You are awesome, and God is with you. We love the candle and the scent you chose. We light it every night at dinner time to remind us to pray for you. My children are very impressed with how brave you are, and one of them remembers each night to light your candle. God Bless you each day. Love, the Garcia Family in Virginia.
Dear Aidan and Aimee,
What good news that the fever has broken!!!! We read your blog every day to keep up with what is happening with y'all. Aidan, you are such a strong, brave fighter, and we love to see your smiling face. We really like your goggles picture.
Hugs and kisses from your Georgia family . . .
Love,
Donna Marie and Auntie Jo
Aidan,
I loved how you described the feeling you had after that special prayer with Audrey's family. What a wonderful gift it is to know that the Lord is truly near and you can literally feel his presence. Now that you have felt that - you will recognize his presence more and more in your life. You are such a sweet Child of God and handling all this so well. Your parents must be so proud of you. I wish you could hear Nathan and Cheyenne's prayers every night as they say: "And Bless Aidan's sick bones". It is so dang cute. They NEVER forget.
Lots of Love and Prayers,
The Raica Family
