Hey i got another update his mom says that his test said he is showing some slowed neurological signs. The CT scan came back normal and when she left him a little while ago he was looking a little better and his pupils were responding to light stimulus. He is heavily sedated right now due to some seizures earlier today which they are attributing to some brain swelling and he has pneumonia.

This is the latest update i have recieved from "R". Thought i would let y'all know how things are going so far....



Just got back from reading to Aidan all the great cards that have been sent to him the past two days. Here is the latest:

Aidan is completely off the Dopamine and his blood pressure is completely normal! This is huge because it will allow him to get the MRI tomorrow. They continue to wean the sedation and anti-seizure medications; he should be completely off the Versed by morning, but not sure on the Fentanyl.

When Erin was in the room earlier, she got to help the nurses in bathing him and changing the bed sheets. At one point in moving Aidan so the sheets could be changed, she saw him trying to cough while ventilated. This is a good thing, as it means he is responding to movement. Any sign of something like this is excellent.

another update:



The MRI revealed some hypoxia at the left frontal lobe and both the left and right parietal and occipital lobes and another MRI may be performed to check this out further; however, the brain stem and mid-brain are perfectly normal!
Dr. C still needs to meet with us about the MRS, but this is great news!

Now, it is a a matter of waiting for the meeting with Dr. C. I'll post another update once that meeting is over.

This is the message i recieved tonight, thought i would pass it on. i edited out the names


This is "E". I just want to thank everyone for their prayers, love and support. I don't think I'll ever be able to express to anyone just how much it means to me.

With that said, I wanted to provide an update since we got to speak with the neurologist this evening. He told us what we already knew from Dr. B about Aidan's brain stem and mid-brain being normal. He also explained the areas that showed hypoxia and said that they did not look severe, and are reversible. He also said that his initial response to the MRI was that Aidan WAS NOT in the water as long as we thought. This is all wonderful news as I'm sure you all know.

While Dr. C was in here with us, I was holding Aidan's hand and he started trying to cough. He began raising his hand/arm, moved his head some and started blinking and trying to open his eyes. It was amazing to see and made me break down. This whole time I have been praying for my baby to come back to me, but I'm still scared that he will be different.

Aidan is a strong little boy and he proved that to me today. He is a trooper and I can not wait until he can drive me nuts again. I miss his hugs and his kisses and all of the little things he does. I wish that you all could know just how wonderful he is. You would all be wrapped around his finger.

Tomorrow is Aidan's 2nd birthday. When he gets out of this place and is able to come home we are going to have a belated birthday/welcome home party for him.

Thank you again, for all of the prayers. I've never been a really religious person, but this has definitely renewed my faith in God and the good in people in general. All I can say is thank you, thank you, thank you.

That is so sad! Im glad Aiden is doing okay! Sometimes the fact that they were in water that was cold will cause the brain to slow down, but not shut off so that most of the damage will be reversable! They say with any victim of a drowning that they are not dead until they are warm and dead.

I hope he recovers fully, with no memory of this accident that will plague his familys brains for all eternity!!

to you, for getting the word out there that there was someone in need of prayers and vibes!! Its nice of you to help a friend in need!!
This was a horrible accident, and it could have very easily happened to me last summer! *mental note, keep pool drained at all times*

"R" and i will always be friends, the short time we dated in college insured that, or rather the way we broke up did. Even after the horrible things we did to each other we are still pretty close(and i did some very horrid things that would have made a lesser man hate me forever because he hurt me). Even if i hated the guy, being a child involved is enough to lay down any differences and stick together. I just pray that Aidan, that special little boy, heals and has no memory or lasting problems from this very tragic accident. The one thing i do know, is even if Aidan does have problems after this, he will always be a very lucky and special kid who is dearly loved. I also know that i am very blessed to have found TCS and all these wonderful loving people who are willing to send vibes, thoughts, prayers and words of encouragement. Thank you to everyone! All we can really do is wait and watch and keep Aidan and his family in our prayers, they still have a long road ahead of them. I know this hasnt been easy, staying with Aidan and taking care of his baby brother at home, but they are doing a wonderful job. I will continue to keep everyone updated as i get updates. Thanks again everyone! I cant say it enough, thank you!

Oh, I hope these signs are as positive as they sound! I did send an ecard -- but I had to break up what I wrote into three cards, because of the limit they place on length. I don't know whether it will make sense, with no line breaks and broken up that way... so here it is in the right form, if you want to give it to them:


Aidan, you are very dear
To all of us, both there and here.
Open up your eyes and look –
From every little cranny, nook
And corner, all the world around,
Streaming in without a sound
You’ll see the golden healing light
Of love... please let it help you fight
Your way back to your mom and dad
And these friends you didn’t know you had.

For such a tiny little boy
You hold so much of hope and joy.
