Hi, my name is Nina. I am a single mother raising my 15 year old son with the help of my parents and a few friends. We're all struggling, And just trying to get by and be there for Aiden. This is the hardest thing we have ever had to do. I can't even as his mother imagine the pain the fear and the strength my son is feeling.

I've had to put the job search on hold because I want to be at the hospital 24_7. Ican't imagine being anywhere else but with this child. He is the most intelligent, loving boy, and always has been.

He in no way deserves to go thru this!!

He is the strongest kid i know and im drawing my strength from him. We could never have imagined this would be our life, but he is our purpose. We all have to work to get him better, stay positiveand know in our hearts tht everything is going to work out. It will be a long road, but we are in it for the long haul no matter what!!!

Now i I know i should have probably had someone else do this for us, but it seems right to just put it all out there , and hope for the best. He has prayers going all the way to the Vatican thanks to loving family and friends, so thank you all!

This is a huge struggle for Aiden,him only being 15, and barely living life yet.

Please pray for my baby and this family.. we need all the help we can get.

Aiden has been diagnosed wIth AML.

IT IS a rare blood cancer tht will affect his blood and his bone marrow.. which means he may need a bone morrow transplant. He is blood type A positive. This is by far the hardest thing Aiden has ever had to go thru..I mean Jesus he hasn't even experienced life. Hehasn't been able to fall in love yet,hasn't had the chance to go out just to break all the rules and going out all night,just because its fun when you're 15....

We are all very very scared and we are praying he makes it thru this. I know that he will because he is a fighter, always has been.He doesn't know good strength, but he will in no time!

Now quick run down of what happened b4 we got here. In the summer, Aiden was at Chop for a vitamin definincy,which was crazy because they did throw out the cancer words, however he was cleared, but then we found out it was hiding in his bone marrow..? So we were a little prepared but completely in shock .

We never thought it would be there as cancer, but it is. He's lost 20 pounds before getting here at Chop this time 6months later, and as before but this time food is just not where he's like it to be.

. The chemo has killed his appetite his hair and his happy well being honestly. But the light is still in his eyes, because thts who he is. The love of my life and apple of my eye. He's been thru so much trauma thru my life, and has saved my life on many occasions, so now I'm here to save his.

Anyone who knows about being in the hospital where the food the air, everything has tht smell? Well it's getting old after 24v25 days. I really wanted to have someone else to set this up, but it really is just me and my mom and dad, and my aunt.So if u can spare a dollar here, 5 dollars great, whatever u can do. AIDEN WANTS us TO TAKE HIM ON a vacation, or a cruise, but I think most of alll,he just wants to be out of the hospital and go and eat wherever he wants. He just wants some normsĺcy,but idk iif thts or when tht will happen but I guess we will see. Thank you to everyone who's been there and came to us to reach out. We love all and miss all of you. Thank you for everything everyone has done so far. This hospital is amazing, and I know theyare going to do everything they can to make him better, and get him where he needs to be so thts a wonderful feeling.

Thank you for listening and I just want everyone to know we appreciate everything everyone who's been thru this with us. It's gonna be a journey and this is just the beginning.
