April 8, Aidan's last day in Hospital (after 21 weeks)!!

With much thanks to God, Aidan is going home today!
He passed all his tests.
He even walked WITHOUT a leg brace for 6 minutes and covered 383 metres, that is 1,256 feet for you non-metric friends.
On the downside, he did have a seizure today, the first in about a week.


His grandma  made some Thank You cupcakes for all the staff and he and his Dad decorated them.  
A Victory symbol is appropriate after four and a half months in hospitals!
 Aidan is not out of the woods yet. He he as continue with therapy at home, tons of exercises, plus he needs to catch up on the school work missed. He wants to be able to progress into sixth grade with all his buddies at school. 
So lots of exercise, therapy and study ahead for this young man between now and September.

Aidan - congratulations! You are going home! This is awesome to celebrate hey? All those quiet moments when you had to work hard to accomplish things over and over again and the times you wanted to give up and you didn't. . . God is giving you great strength and courage and you are a very gutsy guy full of endurance!

We love you, enjoy this day and we'll keep praying for you and your fam!

love,Heather, Randy, Zac, Nathan
