Aiden is pure joy. He is almost always smiling and happy even though he’s gone through so much. He loves music and dancing. He enjoys being outside. He loves his big brother Declan so much.
Aiden was diagnosed with Pre-b Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia at 8 months old. We are approaching 1yr since diagnosis on 3/24. Due to his age, we spent a lot of last year inpatient. Aiden was MRD (minimal residual disease) negative but relapsed a short time later. He just received CAR-T therapy and will be having a bone marrow transplant.
Before his diagnosis, Aiden was sick often, but we thought it was due to his older brother just starting preschool. He had a cough that just continued to linger and we noticed him looking extremely pale.
Aiden has had multiple rounds of chemo, countless lumbar punctures, and many bone marrow biopsies. Due to covid restrictions, all of our hospital stays were very lonely due to only being allowed two approved visitors and no siblings.
We have spent so many days apart as a family. My husband is the main caregiver for our 4yr old and I am the main caregiver for Aiden. We wish we could always be together.
