Aidan's Story
Aidan is homeschooled. He was starting his sophomore year when he was diagnosed. He had been helping his Dad with some remodeling around the house we just bought in May, and he was helping me testing out making new recipes for my small cottage bakery that was supposed to open 2 days after he was diagnosed.
Aidan first got sick in July 2020. He was in the PICU and we didn't know if he would make it. None of the doctors could figure out what was causing it. They ended up thinking it was MIS-C. After two weeks in the hospital, Aidan seemed much better and came home. Everything seemed fine until September 16th when he started to get real sick, real fast again. By that night he was back in PICU.
Late the next morning we were given the diagnosis of Leukemia. Within hours they transported Aidan by ambulance to the PICU at St. Jude in Memphis ... 4 hours from our home. The hardest part of treatment for Aidan has been being away from his home, sisters, Dad, dog, and kitten. We have to spend many months here before we can go home.
So far treatment has been multiple forms of high dose chemo and high dose steroids. He has had 3 lumbar punctures and 2 bone marrow biopsies in the last month. With the main chemo drug he had a massive allergic reaction. Luckily the doctors were able to get him into a small trial of a new replacement chemo for kids with severe allergies to the other chemo.
Aidan is amazingly strong and determined to beat this cancer. He never complains, even when he is feeling really bad.
